(Washington) Since the Trump administration announced on Monday that it would not publish any new document on the financier Jeffrey Epstein and his sexual exploitation network, conservative figures denounce a lack of transparency, however promised by the president. To the point of calling for heads to fall.
In a joint memorandum published on Monday, the Department of Justice and the FBI (Federal Police), confirm the suicide in Jeffrey Epstein prison and claim to have discovered any “list” of his “clients” during an in -depth examination of the entire file.
The death of Jeffrey Epstein, found hanged in his cell in New York on August 10, 2019 before being tried, fueled countless conspiracy theories that he was murdered to prevent revelations on a series of leading personalities suspected of pedocrime.
Figures close to Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” have been carrying out campaign on social networks for several years to request the publication of documents supposedly hidden by the government.
When Donald Trump’s return to power in January, his administration was committed to “lifting the veil” on this “repugnant” affair.

In February, the general prosecutor Pam Bondi had released many documents from the file, and several conservative figures had been received in the White House to be awarded a copy.
But they did not contain any major revelation, and some on the right were already annoying a staging in the White House.
Disappointment
The announcement on Monday resulted in a surge of furious messages on social networks.
“It is absolutely disgusting,” reacted the pro-Trump influencer Alex Jones, known for having disseminated many conspiracy theories via his program.
Tucker Carlson, former presenter of Fox News, accused the Department of Justice of wanting to “suffocate” the truth and thus “insult the population”.
The influencer “Maga” Mike Cernovich launched a direct call to the president.
“No one believes in the attempted concealment on Epstein,” he said on X, before adding: “This will be part of your inheritance. There is still time to change it! »»

The anger on the Epstein file is also added to several recent disappointments within the “Maga” movement.

Clowns
On his podcast on Monday, Tucker Carlson warned on the electoral risk for Donald Trump and the Republicans with the Epstein file. According to him, the government “plays with fire” and “creates real extremism”.
The risk of a fracture also occurs when the Multimillionaire Elon Musk, in blurring with his former ally of Donald Trump, announced the creation of his political party, which would risk nibbling votes to the Republicans.
At the beginning of June, at the paroxysm of their quarrel, the richest man on the planet had accused Donald Trump of being involved in the Epstein case, before deleting his message.
The republican billionaire had friendly relationships with Jeffrey Epstein, the New York jet set, but there is no element of reprehensible acts of Donald Trump in connection with the financier.
