Trump flew off the handle at Charlie Kirk for hosting Epstein 'grievance session': report

Donald Trump called up the late conservative gadfly Charlie Kirk last July and berated him for letting one of his Turning Point rallies spiral into anger and conspiracy rumors about the Jeffrey Epstein files, reports the New York Times.According to reporting from Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, from their forthcoming book, “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump,” at the same time that Trump was trying to take heat off of Attorney General Pam Bondi for her handling of the Epstein Files, Kirk was on the road holding rallies that were roiled by the revelations trickling out of the FBI.The confrontation reflected deepening fractures within Trump's coalition as the Epstein controversy spiraled beyond the administration's control, Haberman and Swan wrote before adding that, while Trump was doing damage control on Truth Social, Kirk was holding court at his rallies where the Epstein Files were becoming a primary focus.Central to the fury was former Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino's war with Bondi over the files. Bongino reportedly told White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles: "She was the one on TV saying over and over they had all this stuff. There was never anything. We were always clear about that. But now everyone thinks we did something wrong. And I gave up everything."Bongino described the personal costs of the debacle. He had walked away from his high-rated podcast and millions of dollars, "and now it's all disappeared, because people think we screwed something up with Epstein.""This is going to be President Trump's Iran-contra," he reportedly lamented at the time.On July 12, Trump took to Truth Social to defend Bondi and urge his supporters to stop wasting "Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about." The post was a transparent attempt to quash the controversy—and it failed.Trump told aides he was furious with some of his most influential supporters, including Kirk, and former Fox News personalities Tucker Carlso and Megyn Kelly, all of whom were publicly demanding the administration "come clean on the files."Kirk's Turning Point USA event the day before had turned into an Epstein "grievance session," the Times is reporting, with speaker after speaker attacking Bondi's handling of the situation. Trump called Kirk directly and "scolded him."According to the Times, Kirk was "more attuned to the younger MAGA base" than perhaps anyone in Trump's orbit, and recognized that the Epstein cover-up—as it was now widely viewed—was capturing alarm among his constituency to a dangerous degree.Donald Trump Jr. and Vice President JD Vance, both deeply embedded in the hyper-online younger faction of the base through their X activity, shared Kirk's concerns. They urged the White House to reverse course and pressure the Justice Department to release more Epstein files, Haberman and Swan are reporting.

Trump Fumes Over NYT Report Exposing His Team’s Epstein Meltdown

President Trump is losing his mind over a New York Times report detailing how the White House panicked over Jeffrey Epstein in multiple instances.Early Wednesday morning, MS NOW host Joe Scarborough mentioned the report on his show, Morning Joe. Less than an hour later, Trump attacked Scarborough on Truth Social, calling him “one of the most inaccurate detailers of truthful facts on television.”“His serious case on Trump Derangement Syndrome, often referred to as TDS, has made him a laughing stock among those who know what is going on in the ‘Wonderful World of Television,’’’ Trump posted.Scarborough’s show was still going on after Trump dropped his post, and the hosts called him out for basically confirming the Times’ reporting that mentioning Epstein triggers the White House.“Sometimes I go talk to you in the White House, and we disagree on things, but nothing deranged here, sir, unless you’re deranged,” Scarborough said to Trump. “If there’s any derangement, it would have to be on your side of the relationship, because I’m not deranged. Not about you. I just state the facts, and maybe that makes you deranged.“Ohhhh, that actually sort of affirms the reporting that this is something you cannot mention around the president of the United States,” Scarborough added. “We just read what Maggie and Jonathan wrote about Epstein. Is that what that was?”The Times article is a detailed look at how Trump’s inner circle met in the Situation Room to handle each development regarding Epstein and the government’s files on the billionaire sex offender. Shouting matches, arguments, efforts to get different officials fired, and clashing strategies are all outlined in the article, which is based on reporting from the forthcoming book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, by reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. The main thesis of the article is that Trump could not make the public forget about Epstein, no matter what he did, and he continued to prove that Wednesday morning.
