Donald Trump is allegedly threatening his own allies in right-wing media to keep a dangerous secret from coming out—one tied to Jeffrey Epstein that could destroy him.
Lev Parnas, once a trusted fixer in Trump’s inner circle, says the president is going after the very people who once helped build him up.
“I’ve been telling you for weeks how the MAGA Cult is turning on itself. And fast,” Parnas wrote in a recent Substack post titled BREAKING: Trump Shuts Down Epstein Talk—MAGA Cult Explodes with Rage.
Parnas claims Trump is now using federal law enforcement—agencies like the FBI and DOJ—as weapons, not just against political enemies, but against loyal MAGA figures who dare mention Epstein.
“My sources are telling me that Trump has now weaponized the FBI and DOJ not just against his enemies—but against his own,” he said. “Right-wing reporters, MAGA influencers, and pro-Trump media figures are being warned: stop talking about Epstein or face prosecution. Silence or punishment. That’s the message being delivered.”
He adds, “I’ve seen this tactic before when I was on the inside—but never this desperate, never this dangerous.”
Parnas warns that ignoring the Epstein angle is a mistake—because it cuts to the core of who Trump is and what MAGA was built on.
“Now I want you to hear me loud and clear,” he wrote. “A lot of people on the left are saying, ‘enough with Epstein.’ They want to move on. They say the narrative is stale. But that’s because they don’t understand Donald Trump. They don’t understand MAGA. They don’t realize this is Trump’s kryptonite.”
Parnas says Epstein isn’t just a side scandal—he’s at the heart of the MAGA machine.
“This is the story. This is what Trump used to build his movement,” he said. “Epstein and the ‘deep state’ were part of the MAGA playbook we installed from day one. We tied Epstein to the Clintons, to Democrats, to Hollywood elites—all as a distraction while Trump built his own empire of corruption behind the curtain.”
“I know because I helped lay some of those bricks. And I broke with it when I saw what it really was.”
To Parnas, Trump isn’t just hiding something—he’s ready to burn his own people to keep it buried.
