(The National Pulse)—The White House has confirmed that no special counsel will be appointed to investigate the handling of deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein’s case. The announcement was made amidst growing disquiet in President Donald J. Trump’s MAGA base over the handling of the case.
Pressed on the issue directly by the media, President Trump said, “I have nothing to do with it.” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later confirmed, “The President would not recommend a special prosecutor in the Epstein case. That’s how he feels.”
White House representatives stated that they believe the Department of Justice (DOJ), under Attorney General Pam Bondi, is managing the situation appropriately and that a special counsel is unnecessary.
Critics of the decision argue that appointing a special counsel would ensure an independent and thorough investigation, free from potential conflicts of interest. MAGA stalwarts such as WarRoom host and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon argue that such a special counsel, reporting directly to the President, would restore people’s faith that the case is being taken seriously, after Attorney General Bondi appeared to deny the existence of a “client list” she previously said was “on [her] desk” and mislabeled doctored video footage from near Epstein’s cell as “raw.”
Trump has adopted an increasingly hostile stance against people pushing for accountability and transparency in the Epstein case, labelling it a Democrat “hoax” and declaring, “I don’t want their support anymore!”
