‘Ticking Time Bomb’: Fox & Friends Warns Trump He Can’t Just Sweep Epstein Story Under the Rug
The crew of Fox & Friends Weekend cautioned President Donald Trump against trying to just sweep the Jeffrey Epstein story under the rug.
During the show’s 6 a.m. hour on Sunday, anchor Kevin Corke — along with hosts Charles Hurt and Rachel Campos-Duffy — responded to the president’s stunning Truth Social post Saturday in which he lashed out at his own base for continuing to focus on the story and criticizing his embattled Attorney General Pam Bondi over her handling of the Epstein probe.
“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’” Trump wrote. “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. 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. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again.”
Sunday morning on Fox News, Charles Hurt said Trump and his team are going to have to do more if they want to satisfy the public.
“If there’s anybody who could walk in and say, ‘OK, we’ve resolved all of the questions and there is nothing here,’ it would be President Trump and his crew,” Hurt said. “The problem is, you can’t really do it without giving some explanation. And there has to be some explanation. And I think that’s why you have a lot of people still pretty with a lot a very valid questions.”
Corke added, “You can defuse this ticking time bomb if you simply get out there” — calling for brief interviews with DOJ hierarchy to restore confidence in the process.
“You can’t tell me that a thousand people were hurt and that there are no people out there that we can arrest,” Corke said. “You can tell me that, ‘Sorry. We don’t have a list.’ Fine, don’t have a list. Tell me who the perpetrators were. Let’s depose every single person who might have had a chance to get on that list, and might have been out there at that island and let’s talk to them. Let’s find out what happened. You’re telling me there are videos out there in New Mexico and on the island and in New York and nobody saw anything? I don’t buy it. And that’s why they need to get out there and face the fire.”
He added, “Doesn’t have to be long, but you have to answer questions to the American people. Because absent that, this story won’t die and that is a distraction the president doesn’t want.”
Campos-Duffy added that Trump’s supporters only want “some simple answers.”
