The FBI and DOJ said they do not plan to make future public disclosures related to their review of Epstein's case, stoking outrage among Trump's most vocal supporters.

At an unrelated press conference on recent drug seizures, Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked about the frustration from the MAGA base about the Epstein investigation, Bondi said, "We’re going to fight to keep America safe again.

The president attempted to fend off criticism of his attorney general as she takes fire from conservative activists.

Trump promised a lawsuit after The Wall Street Journal described a sexually suggestive letter that the newspaper says bore Trump’s name and was included in a 2003 album for Epstein’s 50th birthday.

The Wall Street Journal reported the text of Trump's letter to Epstein was inside a hand-drawn outline of a nude woman.
