In a press statement on Tuesday, President Donald Trump reiterated his previous remarks, criticising those interested in the existence of information about the high-profile clients of convicted sex trafficker and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Amid an unprecedented split within his otherwise loyal MAGA base over the issue, Trump labelled it as "boring" and stated that only "bad people" want the investigation into Epstein to continue.

Last month, former ally and ousted DOGE head Elon Musk accused Trump himself of being on the Epstein list.
The president had made the release of the alleged Epstein files a vocal part of his 2024 campaign, having promised his supporters that he would unveil the highly sought after information once reelected reports the Mirror US.

Since then, the Trump administration has provided conflicting information about the existence of the files and their willingness to further pursue the Epstein probe.

In February, Attorney General Pam Bondi said that the files were on her desk awaiting review, but last week she performed a U-turn, stating instead that the client list did not exist, according to a memo issued by the Justice Department and the FBI.
"I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff," asserted Trump on Tuesday upon returning to Maryland after his Pittsburgh trip on Air Force One.
"It's sordid, but it's boring. And I don't understand why it keeps going. I think, really, only pretty bad people, including 'fake news,' want to keep something like that going."
The survey reveals that approximately 67 percent of voters who backed Trump in the previous election — his core MAGA base — disagree with his decision to withhold the list. Discontent is even higher among potential first-time voters for the 2024 race, with 71 percent expressing dissatisfaction over Trump's handling of the Epstein files.
Among the wider American public, 63 percent also voiced disappointment with the decision, the poll shows — a majority, albeit slightly lower.
A memo issued by the Department of Justice, stating that no such Epstein client list exists, appears to have sparked division among Trump loyalists. For many, the Epstein controversy had been a key reason for supporting Trump, based on his promises to “drain the swamp.”
FBI officials aligned with Trump, including Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, had previously suggested that a so-called "deep state" was deliberately shielding the identities of those connected to Epstein.
However, the DOJ has now concluded, following an extensive internal review, that releasing any further information on the matter would be neither appropriate nor justified.

In a Truth Social post on Tuesday, Trump backed Bondi while lashing out at some of his supporters for continuing to press him on the Epstein case. His remarks came after a disjointed weekend rant on the platform.
As has become routine, Trump also laid blame at the feet of Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, and previous administrations, accusing them of mismanaging the Epstein case and attempting to shift accountability onto him.
Trump, who once maintained a friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, was listed on multiple flight logs connected to Epstein's private jet in the 1990s — logs that have since been made public. He also used the convicted sex trafficker’s jet for travel to several 2024 campaign events when his own aircraft was grounded due to engine issues.
