In response to Donald Trump standing by Pam Bondi at the Club World Cup final and hiding the Epstein list, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:

"As Americans demand answers for Donald Trump's flip-flop on the Epstein files, Trump literally stood with his chief protector Pam Bondi today after the two spent the weekend doubling down on not releasing the Epstein files - and his MAGA base is in full revolt. Here's the truth: The Trump administration either lied about the files to get elected or they are lying now to protect themselves. They must be held accountable."

Donald Trump: "They're all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We're on one Team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening. … all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it's Epstein, over and over again. … Let's keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about."

… while their supporters revolt, calling Trump out on Truth Social, and the American people demand answers.
