Donald Trump's Truth Social post defending Pam Bondi has seen more than 36,000 replies so far, many from people unhappy with the president's remarks.
Trump takes to Truth Social to support Attorney General Pam Bondi who has faced backlash from MAGA supporters regarding the DOJ's management of Jeffrey Epstein documents.
Trump's followers on Truth Social were not having it and accused the president of "gaslighting" and insisted his argument is "not holding water."
During his remarks, Trump asked Bondi if she felt like answering the reporter's question. "I don't mind answering," the attorney general replied. When the president finished speaking, Bondi addressed the reporter and cited an interview she did with Fox News in February, which she said had "been getting a lot of attention."
Attorney Spencer Kuvin, who represents one of Epstein’s victims, shared: "We certainly knew that Mr. Trump was a close friend of Mr. Epstein during those exact years that Mr. Epstein was molesting these young girls. "These are two gentlemen that definitely ran in the same circles."
