These comments follow a MAGA-world implosion on Monday, after Trump’s administration released a report saying that not only did Epstein kill himself but also that there was no existence of a client list. In other words, the administration shut down the right-wing conspiracy about a supposed laundry list of celebrities and politicians who have committed sexual crimes.

The timing of that report is almost uncanny, given that just last month Trump’s former bestie Elon Musk told the entirety of X that they weren’t releasing the so-called Epstein list because Trump himself was on it.

“[Trump] is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,” he wrote in a since-deleted post.

The administration has been dangling the Epstein carrot over their loyal MAGA followers for quite some time.

In February, they pulled another unsavory stunt by doing a spoof release of the “Epstein files.” As Daily Kos previously reported, Trump and his team gathered up as many MAGA influencers as they could at the White House, and gave them all cute little Epstein-themed binders with stickers and infographics that had, well … nothing new in it.

And now, just like last time, they’re delivering their voters a big pile of nothing.

This time, however, it seems to conveniently absolve everyone of any potential ties to criminality.
