Fox & Friends put Donald Trump on blast this weekend, warning the president that the Epstein scandal is spiraling — and he’s running out of time to control it.
The Sunday morning segment came just hours after Trump lashed out on Truth Social, slamming his own supporters for turning on Attorney General Pam Bondi over her failure to release promised details on Jeffrey Epstein’s long-rumored list of powerful associates.
“You can defuse this ticking time bomb if you simply get out there,” Fox anchor Kevin Corke said. “They need to get out there and face the fire.”
The warning was blunt. The pressure is real. And it’s coming from Trump’s usual allies.
The latest firestorm was ignited by a DOJ and FBI memo stating there is no Epstein “client list” and that Epstein died by suicide, not murder, in his jail cell in 2019. Both claims go directly against what many of Trump’s MAGA base believe — and what they say they were promised.
In February, Bondi declared the list was “sitting on my desk” and that the files would be made public. But months later, there’s been no release, no arrests, no names. Trump supporters are furious. Some are calling for Bondi to resign.
Even inside Trump’s inner circle, things are falling apart. Bondi reportedly clashed with FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino at the White House this week. Bongino, once one of Trump’s most vocal defenders, didn’t show up to work Friday and is now threatening to quit over the fallout.
In a Cabinet meeting last Tuesday, Trump tried to dismiss the story entirely: “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years! Are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable.”
Then, on Saturday, he turned his anger toward his base on Truth Social: “They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening… all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again.”
That post triggered backlash — and Fox & Friends took notice.
Fox contributor Charles Hurt called out the weak response directly: “If there’s anybody who could walk in and say, ‘OK, we’ve resolved all of the questions and there is nothing here,’ it would be President Trump and his crew,” he said. “The problem is, you can’t really do it without giving some explanation… and that’s why you have a lot of people still with very valid questions.”
Corke added more fuel to the fire: “You can’t tell me that a thousand people were hurt and that there are no people out there that we can arrest. You’re telling me there are videos out there in New Mexico and on the island and in New York and nobody saw anything? I don’t buy it.”
He warned Trump directly: “Doesn’t have to be long, but you have to answer questions to the American people. Because absent that, this story won’t die and that is a distraction the president doesn’t want.”
Fox co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy agreed, saying Trump supporters are only asking for “some simple answers.”
