The Rupert Murdoch–owned Wall Street Journal has ridiculed Donald Trump for his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein saga.
The paper’s editorial board suggested that people might not be “obsessing” over the newly released trove of emails sent to and from the disgraced financier if the president and other MAGA figures had not riled up the base by insisting there was a deep-state cover-up of Epstein’s crimes in the first place.
“As is so often the case, Mr. Trump has been his own worst enemy here. As a candidate, he fanned the expectations of the Epstein conspiracy theorists who think the government is protecting the rich and powerful. Once in power, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel teased explosive findings but later said there’s nothing to see,” the Journal’s editorial board wrote.
