Charlie Kirk talks Epstein, urges Trump administration to act [View all]

https://www.axios.com/2025/07/15/trump-epstein-maga-charlie-kirk

Charlie Kirk, one of the most powerful and influential MAGA podcasters, devoted Tuesday's podcast to extensive interviews about Jeffrey Epstein — a day after he and several other MAGA figures suggested they would take President Trump's advice and move on.

Andrew Kolvet, the show's executive producer, told Axios that Monday's viral clip had additional context: "Charlie is not done talking about it. The ball is in the administration's court to find a solution."
Why it matters: The MAGA blowback over the handling of Epstein evidence is a rare instance of the president's base bucking his wishes.
On Tuesday's show, Kirk urged the Trump administration to fix the Epstein mess by disclosing more information.
The conclusions from the Justice Department and FBI that the disgraced financier did not have a "client list" and died by suicide have prompted anger from Trump-world, often with Attorney General Pam Bondi as their top target for punishment.

Indeed. It appears all the competent people have left the FBI, or Trump fired them. nt SunSeeker Sep 10 #22

interestingly, the agent in charge in utah is new. Patel/Trump fired the previous one a month ago. drray23 Sep 10 #26

The previous FBI person in change of that district, recently fired by Trump/Patel, was a woman Attilatheblond Sep 10 #31

Maybe they are firing women because they are against competence Walleye Sep 11 #52
