Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only justice to dissent in a case that broke in President Trump's favor, underscoring her outlier status on the Supreme Court.
The court's newest member has shown "judicial abandon," law professor Jonathan Turley said in response to her latest free-wheeling dissent.
"This is part of a signature of what's becoming a type of judicial abandon that Jackson has towards the power of these courts," Turley told Fox and Friends.
The Supreme Court's 8-1 ruling lifted a lower court injunction that blocked Trump from laying off federal workers. The majority was sending a message to lower courts to rein themselves in, Turley said.
"This is six months of delay. It could have been much longer," he said. "The court is signaling, ‘We’re going to be on you very quickly if you continue to do these kinds of orders.’"
"This is another shot across the bow to lower courts," Turley said. "They’ve got to knock this off. They've got to stop with these injunctions."
Jackson was the only one to dissent, and she wasn't shy about criticizing her colleagues over what she saw as their readiness to please Trump.
"For some reason, this Court sees fit to step in now and release the President’s wrecking ball at the outset of this litigation," she wrote. "In my view, this decision is not only truly unfortunate but also hubristic and senseless."
Liberal Sonia Sotomayor, a normally reliable anti-Trump voice on the court, signaled that she would withhold judgment of Trump's plans until they are formally presented.
"On this occasion, Jackson is alone," he told Fox and Friends. "She couldn’t even get Justice Sotomayor to sign on to this dissent," Turley said.
Jackson has begun to draw attention for scorching, polemical opinions in cases that turn out in President Trump's favor. Critics of her writings say they read like undergraduate essays, offering up sweeping arguments couched in glib rhetoric.
Her undisciplined approach has brought stinging criticism from her own colleagues on the bench. In a widely publicized clash, Amy Coney Barrett mocked Jackson' sweeping embrace of judicial supremacy and her indifference to the work of legal analysis, which Jackson dismissed as "legalese."
“We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary,” Barrett wrote.
It has been observed that Jackson is by far the most talkative justice during oral arguments. She's clearly very opinionated, and that's fine, but maybe she would have fit in better at CNN or MSNBC.

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a millionaire many times over, died allegedly by his own hand several years ago while waiting in a New York Jail for development of more sex charges against him.
People across America of multiple political ideologies have anxiously awaited the release of details about his death, and his associates during his lifetime, including a long list of high-profile personalities to include Bill Gates and Bill Clinton.
That, more or less, had been part of a commitment made by Trump administration officials just weeks ago.
But then came the Department of Justice notification, in an unsigned note, that little more information about Epstein and his lifestyle should be expected.
Obviously, the sudden change triggered an explosion of criticism and demands for details, which have not yet come.
But one explanation is being offered why Epstein information apparently, suddenly, went through a paper shredder, more or less.
Maybe he was a government asset?
That suspicion comes from things including his relatively gentle treatment when he first was convicted several years ago, and the currently handling of his record.
It is the Daily Caller that explains that the federal prosecutor, Alex Acosta, who went after Epstein on sex charges years ago allegedly confirmed, "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone."
The report noted that Attorney General Pam Bondi was questioned at a Cabinet meeting this week on that topic.
Bondi responded, "I have no knowledge about that. We can get back to you on that."
She had been asked, "Your memo and release yesterday with Jeffrey Epstein left some lingering mysteries, one of the biggest ones is whether he ever worked for an American or foreign intelligence agency. … The former labor secretary and Miami U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, he allegedly said that he did work for an intelligence agency. So could you resolve whether or not he did?"
Bondi, months ago, had told Fox News that Epstein's "list" was "sitting on my desk right now to review."
Acosta was part of the prosecution team that in 2007 gave Epstein immunity as part of a plea deal. Epstein pleaded to state charges and served time in a county jail.
The issue arose again when Epstein was arrested in another case in 2019.
The Daily Caller said:
The Miami Herald spent five years in a legal battle to obtain documents related to Epstein, while extensively covering both the current case and earlier proceedings against him in Florida, according to a Vanity Fair report.
"It's not beyond the realm of possibility that Epstein had connections to the [Israeli intelligence community]," Julie K. Brown, investigative reporter for the Miami Herald, told the Times of Israel in a 2021 interview.
She pointed to Epstein's convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell.
"Robert Maxwell certainly had those kinds of connections, and Epstein had a close relationship with Robert Maxwell," she told the outlet.
Maxwell's 1991 burial on Jerusalem's Mount of Olives drew Israeli political leadership, according to a New York Times (NYT) obituary.
Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, allegedly visited Epstein numerous times, taking private jet flights and spending time at Epstein's homes in both Florida and New York, according to documents obtained by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in 2023.
Further reported was that Iraseli officials met with Epstein at times early in the 2000s.
And, the report said, "William Burns, former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) under the Biden administration, had three scheduled meetings with Epstein in 2014 during his time as deputy secretary of state, according to a separate 2023 WSJ report. Tammy Kupperman Thorp, former CIA spokeswoman, told the publication that Burns 'did not know anything about [Epstein] other than that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice on transition to the private sector.'"

In what some might call a Johnny-come-lately move, congressional Democrats are calling on U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the Jeffrey Epstein files – because they supposedly mention President Trump.
The demand letter arrived Tuesday, the same day Trump upbraided a reporter asking about the Epstein files during a Cabinet meeting before allowing Bondi to respond. For days now, Trump supporters have condemned the attorney general for releasing a two-page memo Sunday claiming there is no Epstein "client list" and that there is no question he commit suicide in jail.
As reported by the Daily Caller, Democratic Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, and Democratic New York Rep. Dan Goldman led Committee Democrats in a letter demanding that Bondi release any Epstein-related evidence allegedly referencing Trump that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI have withheld.
The letter charged that Bondi's conduct was "worrisome" and that the DOJ was potentially being employed to cover up wrongdoing by the president, "including information allegedly contained in the Epstein files."
"In February 2025, you came under intense public criticism after releasing the 'first phase' of roughly 200 pages of the Epstein files that consisted largely of information that was already public," the lawmakers wrote, adding that Bondi reportedly redirected hundreds of FBI agents to review the files.
"In April, you claimed the FBI was reviewing 'tens of thousands of videos' of Mr. Epstein 'with children or child porn,'" they continued.
The letter then addressed the recent announcement on Epstein: "This raises the question of whether the White House has moved to prevent the declassification and public release of the full Epstein files because they implicate President Trump, and whether these massive redaction efforts and the withholding of the files were intended to shield your boss from embarrassing revelations within those files."
The letter also noted that former DOGE chief Elon Musk had claimed in a now-deleted X post that Trump was in the Epstein files.

Commentator Wayne Allen Root has explained that the controversy over Jeffrey Epstein, his death and his files, are tarnishing the administration of President Donald Trump.
It was announced earlier that Epstein's death, in a New York jail, was suicide, and that there was no "client list" among his effects, regarding his known activities involving pedophilia and friendships with high-profile personalities such as Bill Gates and Bill Clinton.
That determination provoked a flood of outrage from even Trump supporters, who suspected a cover-up.
Root explained he's known as "the most fiery and loyal champion, celebrator and defender of President Donald J. Trump- the greatest patriot and President of my lifetime," and sticking to the "raw truth."
He warns that Trump needs, now, to "deal with" the statement that there is no Epstein list.
"It looks like a cover-up," he warned.
But a new report this week confirms that that dispute may not yet be closed.
It is Washington watchdog Judicial Watch that confirms it has filed a joint status report in federal court confirming that "the Justice Department and the FBI continue to search for and review records in response to Judicial Watch's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for records regarding Jeffrey Epstein."
"The lawsuit requests any records on the identities of clients or associates of Epstein."
The organization explained that disclosure "is at odds with the leaked, unsigned and undated Justice Department/FBI memo that suggests no more Epstein records would be disclosed to the American public."
It was Judicial Watch that sued the DOJ and FBI in April "after they failed to adequately respond to three separate FOIA requests for records filed in February 2025 concerning Epstein, including a specific request for records 'depicting the identities of clients or associates of Epstein.' Epstein document requests were sent to the Justice Department's Office of Information Policy, the Criminal Division, and two separate requests were sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)."
The status report confirmed that the FBI "has run its initial searches and is in the process of reviewing those search results," and the FBI's efforts "are ongoing."
Further, at this point, the FBI "does not yet have an anticipated number of documents or anticipated dates for release.
The same response from the Executive Office of United States Attorneys was given to the court.
A 200-page report on Epstein was unleashed earlier, but the latest unsigned statement suggests no more is coming.
"The Justice Department and FBI are sending out contradictory messages: telling the American people that no more Epstein material will be released, while telling the federal court in our case that the Epstein FOIA review is proceeding," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "But no matter, our FOIA lawsuit for the Epstein material continues. We will be relentless in demanding transparency under law."
Root delivered his verdict, after praising Trump for huge accomplishments in a short time for America, "I'm guessing half of Congress was on the Epstein list. Or certainly a lot of prominent Congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle. I think Trump may have made the decision to stop the release of the Epstein list in return for passing the 'Big Beautiful Bill' – thereby preventing a massive tax increase on the American people – that could have led to an economic collapse. And/or … B) Trump made a moral decision that so many political leaders, business leaders and influential people who run this country were on this list, that releasing it would bring down much more than the Deep State. It would bring down our entire nation and our U.S. economy – leading to a collapse and Great Depression."
Root said now there is no choice: The list must be released.

Amid the fights developing over what Jeffrey Epstein did, or didn't do, and the documents and information the government has, or doesn't have, regarding his pedophilia and his acquaintances, there comes a high-profile personality with firsthand experience.
Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz, a longtime leftist who was swept up in allegations that erupted from the Epstein scenario, his activities and his controversies, found himself accused.
Falsely.
Here is his assessment of what's going on, with the DOJ's statement that no more information likely will be released about Epstein, the claim he did commit suicide in jail while awaiting additional charges, and the charge that there is no scandalous "client" list of his acquaintances.
There has been no explanation from the Trump administration about why that information first was discussed for release, then abruptly shut down.
He said:
This is not an opinion. This is a fact. I have seen … remember I was accused falsely and …. ultimately I was completely cleared … the woman admitted she may have mistook me for somebody else and withdrew all of her lawsuits, and so from Day One, from the day I was accused, I said I want every document, because I knew every document would prove that I was innocent.
So let me tell you I know for a fact documents are being suppressed, and they're being suppressed to protect individuals. I know the names of the individuals. I know why they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them, but I'm bound by confidentiality from a judge and cases and I can't disclose what I know. But I, hand to God, I know, I know the names of people, whose files are being suppressed, in order to protect them.
They're everything, uh, look, let me tell you, a lot of them, at least one of them is somebody who was accused. Others are accusers. The judge said if somebody calls themselves a victim, a victim, we're not going to give any information about them. But they may not be victims, they may be perpetrators so we don't have information about false accusers. And we know there have been many false accusers who have accused innocent people for money, and those records are being deliberately, willfully suppressed and they shouldn't be suppressed.
If the accusation is allowed out, so should the material that diminishes the credibility of the accusers. We want total transparency on this. Every single document. No redactions, that's what I said from day one. I waive any of my rights to privacy, anything there is about me I'm happy it will be exculpatory because I know I haven't touched a woman other than my wife from the day I met Jeffrey Epstein. I don't even hug people.
But I was falsely accused. But I was able to prove it and I was able to prove it through documents and I want other people to be able to disprove false accusations through documents. But these documents are being suppressed and withheld."
Commentator and author Victor Davis Hanson has a similar take on the protection of certain individuals connected to Epstein. Here is the explanation he recently gave to Glenn Beck:
Sergio Gor, President Trump’s chief aide tasked with political vetting, is under intense scrutiny after it was revealed that he has falsely claimed Maltese origins when he was born in Uzbekistan, the New York Post reported.
The Times of Malta and Maltese government records confirmed Gor was born in Tashkent in 1986, contradicting years of claims and raising concerns over his transparency and eligibility for permanent security clearance.
In June 2025, Malta’s government reported there were no birth records for Gor in the country, which aligned with property records Gor filed in 2021, where he listed Uzbekistan as his birthplace. Gor has refused to state his actual country of origin but said it is not Russia.
As a key figure responsible for staffing the administration, Gor is required to submit Standard Form 86, a vital part of the clearance process. However, sources say he has yet to officially submit the document.
The White House claimed Gor “completed” the form but did not confirm whether it had been filed. His attorney, Rob Garson, later stated the form “has been filled out and filed,” despite ongoing internal doubts about its submission status.
With Gor’s interim clearance set to expire in July 2025, questions remain about whether President Trump will extend it, as only he holds the authority to do so for top aides operating without full approval.
Although not born there, Gor did spend part of his youth in Malta. Deputy Prime Minister Ian Borg confirmed that Gor lived in the country for nearly ten years and attended both elementary and middle school.
He was a student at De La Salle College from 1996 to 1999 and had Maltese residency records for at least three years. These ties may have fueled the perception—and Gor’s own claims—that he was of Maltese origin.
His mother, Liya Gorokhovsky, opened a company in Malta in 1994 and listed herself as Israeli. Gor listed Uzbekistan as his birthplace when he purchased his mother's Maltese home in 2021 for approximately $300,000.
Despite mounting scrutiny, the White House continues to stand behind Gor. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called him a model of the American Dream and praised his role in assembling President Trump’s appointee team.
White House Counsel David Warrington also defended Gor, insisting he is fully compliant with legal and ethical obligations. He emphasized that Gor's clearance is active and dismissed contrary claims as false.
Prior to joining the Trump administration, Gor worked for Senator Rand Paul and later published a Trump photo book in 2021 after launching his own publishing company. He now resides in a mansion near Palm Beach, Florida.
In June 2025, Gor reportedly influenced Trump's decision to drop Elon Musk’s NASA pick, Jared Isaacman, allegedly due to Isaacman’s past donations to Democrats. This move worsened tensions between Musk and Trump.
According to insiders, Gor held a personal grudge against Musk following a cabinet meeting where Musk allegedly embarrassed him. Gor’s reported advice led Trump to distance himself from Musk-backed appointments.
In response, Musk announced the formation of a third political party, further fracturing conservative unity ahead of the 2026 elections. Republicans fear it could divide their voter base and affect upcoming races.
The Supreme Court has cleared President Trump's efforts to dramatically downsize the federal workforce.
In an emergency ruling issued Tuesday, the highest court in the land rebuked a district judge who tried to stop Trump's mass layoffs at federal agencies. Those firings can now proceed, pending a legal battle.
“Today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling is another definitive victory for the President and his administration. It clearly rebukes the continued assaults on the President’s constitutionally authorized executive powers by leftist judges who are trying to prevent the President from achieving government efficiency across the federal government,” White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said in a statement.
A district judge in San Francisco had frozen Trump's executive order calling for "reductions in force" at federal agencies, which was accompanied by a joint memo from the Office of Management and Budget and Office of Personnel Management implementing the directive.
In a short unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court lifted the injunction, finding Trump is likely to succeed on the argument that his order is lawful.
"Because the Government is likely to succeed on its argument that the Executive Order and Memorandum are lawful—and because the other factors bearing on whether to grant a stay are satisfied— we grant the application. We express no view on the legality of any Agency RIF and Reorganization Plan produced or approved pursuant to the Executive Order and Memorandum," the justices wrote.
The decision adds to a winning streak for Trump, who has received a string of favorable Supreme Court rulings upholding his executive power over immigration and other matters.
The Trump administration had blasted the district court's injunction, which required congressional approval before mass layoffs, as an affront to the president's authority over the executive branch.
"It interferes with the Executive Branch's internal operations and unquestioned legal authority to plan and carry out RIFs [reductions in force], and does so on a government-wide scale," Solicitor General John D. Sauer wrote to the Supreme Court.
The only justice to dissent from the Supreme Court's ruling, Ketanji Brown Jackson, accused her colleagues of "enthusiasm for greenlighting this President’s legally dubious actions in an emergency posture."
"This executive action promises mass employee terminations, widespread cancellation of federal programs and services, and the dismantling of much of the Federal Government as Congress has created it,” she wrote.
In a short concurring opinion, Sonia Sotomayor agreed with Jackson's view that federal restructuring must adhere to constraints set by Congress, but Sotomayor noted that Trump's order explicitly calls for restructuring to be “consistent with applicable law." Sotomayor withheld judgment, since Trump's specific agency plans are not currently in front of the court.
"[W]e thus have no occasion to consider whether they can and will be carried out consistent with the constraints of law," Sotomayor wrote. "I join the court's stay because it leaves the district court free to consider those questions in the first instance."
The non-profits and labor unions who challenged Trump lamented the Supreme Court's decision as a "serious blow to our democracy."

A former model who says she was raped at least three times a day on Jeffrey Epstein's private island is now going scorched earth on President Donald Trump after his Justice Department this week reneged on its pledge to release files including names, flight logs and co-conspirators of the convicted pedophile.
In a video she posted Tuesday on X, Juliette Bryant of South Africa targeted Trump by name, the same day the president blasted a reporter for asking a question about "this creep" Epstein.
"Wow! Donald Trump! American government. Your government kidnapped me," Bryant began.
"You promised the Epstein list. Victims are being found dead. Hello! I mean the whole reason you gained presidency, Trump, was because of promising the Epstein list. Are you as much of a liar as them?
"Thank goodness for Elon Musk for actually standing up for what's right. It's funny how only South Africans stand up, because where are the other 200 Epstein victims? Although maybe they're too frightened to speak up because of the American government.
"Well, I speak for all of them. I speak for all victims. How dare your government abuse, rape and murder?! We'll be coming for you, don't you worry, government.
"You can sit there and pretend that Epstein didn't exist and that none of this happened. But guess what. We're not that f***ing stupid!
"Don't make us any more angry, otherwise we will come and we will find you. How dare you?!
In a separate interview with Don Keith, Bryant said: "If they release what they're really up to, it will break people's brains.
"People will suddenly be all anti-government. People won't want to go to work anymore. Religion will fall away, that's what will happen."
In 2022, Bryant was featured in a BBC documentary called "House of Maxwell," explaining how she became one of Epstein's trafficked sex slaves after being lured with promises of becoming a Victoria's Secret model.
In the program, Bryant said Epstein "fed off the terror … there was something about the energy of a girl being scared that he liked."
"I was being ordered to his bedroom at least three times a day."
Bryant insisted she "saw at least 60 girls coming and going" while she was on Epstein's Caribbean island.
"It was just like a factory … he was running a machine and Ghislaine Maxwell was the one operating it," referring to his convicted madam.
Bryant's new video Tuesday came amid fresh controversy when President Trump snapped at a reporter who asked if Epstein was a foreign agent.
Meanwhile, journalist Benny Johnson posted an in-depth explanation about why Americans care want details of the Epstein case, saying: "We care about Epstein because we care if our government is protecting an elite pedophile cult. That's it. That why we care.

Another legal victory for the administration of President Donald Trump was documented in the decision of a federal judge to allow the Department of Justice to rescind about $800 million in grants.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington rejected a demand for a preliminary injunction from five groups that benefited from the cash handouts.
They were objecting to the DOJ's cancellation of more than 360 grant awards, according to a report from Fox News.
The judge condemned the decision as "shameful" in his ruling, but said the court lacks jurisdiction and the plaintiffs failed to document a constitutional violation or protection.
"Defendants' rescinding of these awards is shameful. It is likely to harm communities and individuals vulnerable to crime and violence," the judge said. "But displeasure and sympathy are not enough in a court of law."
It was the DOJ's Office of Justice Programs that decided in April to cancel the hundreds of millions of dollars in grant handouts, describing the move as a change in priorities to include more direct support to some law enforcement groups, fight violent crime, and help American victims of trafficking and sexual assault, the report explained.
The complaint, from Democracy Forward Foundation and the Perry Law firm, claimed they were deprived of due process and the decision lacked clarity. They also said the move violated the constitutional separation of powers.
The cancellation of the handout of taxpayer money triggered layoffs and closures in various programs, the plaintiffs claimed.
But the DOJ said that no legal basis existed for the court to order the restoration of "lawfully terminated grants."
In fact, some plaintiffs in other disputes over the Trump administration's decision to cancel cash handouts have claimed that they have a constitutional right to be funded by the taxpayers.

Outrage continues to build among President Donald's Trump supporters over the Justice Department's conclusion there was no client list for pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, with some Trump fans urging the ouster of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Among them is journalist and Trump ally Laura Loomer, who refers to Bondi as "Blondi."
"Please join me in calling for Blondi to RESIGN!" Loomer said on X. "How many more times is this woman going to get away with Fing everything up before she is FIRED?"
Loomer also noted: "How come Blondi didn't sign her name to her own memo about the Epstein Files? She needs to resign. This is going to suppress the vote in 2026. The American people and MAGA base will not tolerate being lied to.
"I hope President Trump fires Pam Blondi if she lacks the SHAME to resign. I called for her resignation the day of Binder Gate. 5 months later and Blondi is still an abomination. Epstein raped kids on her watch when she was [Florida attorney general]. Is this what this is about? Her horrendous professional record?"
On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed the Trump administration was being truthful and transparent in connection with the Epstein case, saying: "The Trump administration is committed to truth and to transparency. That's why the attorney general and the FBI director pledged at the president's direction to do an exhaustive review of all of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein's crimes and his death. And they put out a memo in conclusion of that review.
"There was material they did not release because, frankly, it was incredibly graphic and it contained child pornography which is not something that's appropriate for public consumption.
"But they committed to an exhaustive investigation. That's what they did and they provided the results of that. That's transparency."
About three hours later, Trump himself posted a message on Truth Social praising the FBI and its top officials, though not specifically mentioning the dropping of the Epstein matter.
"The FBI, under the direction of Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, is back to the basics: Locking up criminals, and cleaning up America's streets," Trump said.
"We have the Greatest Law Enforcement professionals in the World, but "Politics" and Corrupt Leadership often prevented them from doing their job. That is no longer the case, and now, they have been unleashed to do their jobs, and they are doing just that. Keep it up — MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!"
But Trump supporters on Truth Social responded fiercely to the president's message, with numerous objections, including:
"MAGA BEGS TO DIFFER WITH YOU, DAN, KASH AND PAM. DIDDY WALKS THEN THIS?? WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND TO HEAR FROM YOU NOT A TRUTH POST…. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT."
"Trump I have been extremely loyal to you! I'm very pleased with almost everything you're doing, but I absolutely draw the line on this one! If you are who I think you are … brave, big heart, and will stand ten toes down for what's right, then bring the truth to light!! Release the info no matter what!!! If you don't stop/expose what happened on that island and what is a huge problem in our country for these children then who will?! Somebody is being blackmailed!!! God put you in your position for a reason!!! if you do what's right your supporters will always stand by you!!!"
"We have been BETRAYED by the man who insists FULL LOYALTY. Trump, you BETRAYED us. Maybe Elon sees something we don't!
"Trump is mistaken if he thinks the American people are just going to 'move on' from the Epstein client list. This is too big – it's not going away."
Tuesday morning, Tucker Carlson released an interview in which he said: "I never thought that I would be offering an apology to Jeffrey Epstein.
"I think of all the times I've maligned that guy, all the times I accused him of crimes, of blackmailing people, of trafficking children to powerful figures around the world on behalf of global intel services. And then I learn yesterday from Attorney General Pam Bondi that's totally untrue. The guy killed himself after … 36 days in prison for no reason.
"He was a billionaire. He had no clients. He'd done nothing wrong, other than get like naughty massages 20 years before. And the guy killed himself. … And then his best friend … Ghislaine Maxwell, doing 20 years in prison for no crime. There are no victims!"
John Kiriakou, a former CIA officer, appeared on "Jesse Watters Primetime" on Fox News Monday night to say the Deep State "has taken this bull by the horns and they probably destroyed" the Epstein files.
In response to President Trump's praising of the FBI, the bureau's Deputy Director Dan Bongino said: "We are doubling down. No letting up."
Alex Jones of Infowars also blasted the Justice Department, noting: "Next the DOJ will say 'Actually, Jeffrey Epstein never even existed.' This is over the top sickening."
Best-selling author and analyst Tom Renz said: "This is horrific. It's hard to believe the DOJ will ever do anything real if they won't even protect against child r@pists.
