Scott Douglas Jacobsen and Rick Rosner discuss MAGA infighting sparked by contradictions in Trump’s Epstein-related promises. Allegations against Trump, missing evidence, and recanted claims by Pam Bondi have led to political tensions within Trump’s circle. Even MAGA loyalists like Dan Bongino and Cash Patel are reportedly disillusioned by the inconsistencies.

Scott Douglas Jacobsen: What else?

Rick Rosner: I don’t know. MAGA’s fighting with MAGA. We could talk about that.

Jacobsen: Over what?

Rosner: So, Trump ran on—did we already talk about this?—Trump ran on revealing the Epstein files and unmasking all the pedophiles. But people who aren’t MAGA were like, “How are you going to do that when you were one of Epstein’s close associates, you’re in the flight logs, and you’ve got a known thing for teen girls, either naked or in their underwear?”

It’s been playing out in a way many people didn’t expect. Pam Bondi—who used to be Florida’s Attorney General and now holds a role in Trump’s circle—said the Epstein client list doesn’t exist, even though she claimed just months ago that it was on her desk.

She also claimed to have 10,000 videos of pedophilic activity. Now she says she doesn’t. They also released surveillance footage outside Epstein’s jail cell to prove no one could’ve sneaked in to kill him. But it’s missing a minute and twenty seconds. Then they said, “Everyone can stop asking questions now—we’ve released everything we have,” or something like that. It all strikes people as bogus.

Even in the MAGA world.bDan Bongino—former Secret Service agent and right-wing commentator—is reportedly considering resigning over it. Cash Patel, who’s high up in Trump’s intelligence circle, is supposedly furious with Pam Bondi. Everyone who’s not MAGA is hoping this continues in a way that hurts Trump politically.
