GOP senators want nothing to do with Trump-Epstein-MAGA controversy

Senate Republicans are scrambling to steer clear of the controversy exploding within their MAGA-aligned party’s base over allegations the Trump administration is hiding information related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his “clients.”

President Trump is facing what may be the biggest backlash he’s ever encountered from usually loyal activists, such as former national security adviser Michael Flynn and prominent conservative activist Laura Loomer.

Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel are coming under tremendous pressure from MAGA activists to provide more information about the people who may have been involved in Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking activities, even though the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI concluded in a memo that there is no “incriminating ‘client list.’”

Republican lawmakers don’t want to go near the Epstein controversy that divides their base.
