Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino had a heated argument over the DOJ's move to close the Jeffrey Epstein case.

The Trump administration had hoped that that statement would be the final word on the saga, with Trump chiding a reporter who asked Bondi about the Epstein case at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

A White House post that compared Donald Trump to Superman drew sharp criticism across social media. The image, titled "Symbol of Hope," revived questions about Jeffrey Epstein's client list, with detractors,

Attorney Spencer Kuvin, who represents one of Epstein’s victims, shared: "We certainly knew that Mr. Trump was a close friend of Mr. Epstein during those exact years that Mr. Epstein was molesting these young girls. "These are two gentlemen that definitely ran in the same circles."

An irate attorney general is said to have confronted the deputy director of the F.B.I. at a tense White House meeting earlier in the week.

The White House is facing a barrage of criticism after sharing an edited image of President Donald Trump as Superman on social media. In a post on X and Instagram late Thursday, the official account took inspiration from one of the DC tentpole’s most famous catchphrases: “THE SYMBOL OF HOPE. TRUTH. JUSTICE. THE AMERICAN WAY. SUPERMAN TRUMP.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to explain why Attorney General Pam Bondi talked earlier this year of a Jeffrey Epstein client list but now a Justice Department memo says there is none.

American author, journalist and endowed professor at the University of Austin, Michael Shellenberger, has poked holes in the Trump White House’s claim there are no Epstein files, crediting the United States President's base for "demanding answers" after a joint investigation concluded the notorious sex predator was not murdered and did not blackmail anyone.
