It doesn't matter why Trump's super power of commanding and redirecting attention is failing with the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. If that power fails with his base, it will make it far harder for him to continue to avoid accountability as his policies destroy their lives.
Update (7/14/25): CNN reported that President Donald Trump called Charlie Kirk on Saturday:President Donald Trump defended Attorney General Pam Bondi over the weekend amid criticism from some in his base over a memo about accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, writing on Truth Social that Bondi is doing “a FANTASTIC JOB” in her role.“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’ They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!” Trump wrote Saturday. “We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and ‘selfish people’ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein.”Privately, Trump has also doubled down on his support for Bondi. The president called some of the attorney general’s most vocal critics over the weekend in an effort to stem the bleeding over the Epstein files, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN.Trump’s calls included one with conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Saturday to express his support for Bondi. The call came as prominent MAGA supporters repeatedly criticized the attorney general at Kirk’s Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, a Florida event aimed at mobilizing young conservatives.

ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan: "I think we all know that criminals tend to hang out with criminals. And so as we start to build a case, we're gonna be going after everyone that's around them, because these criminals tend to hang out with like-minded people who also happen to be criminals."
