CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Roasts Trump Fans in ‘Meltdown of Their Own Making’ Over Epstein Files
CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins roasted President Donald Trump’s base and his administration over what she described as a “meltdown of their own making” about the non-release of the so-called “Epstein Files.”
Deceased rape criminal Jeffrey Epstein has been the subject of many a conspiracy theory, none of which were quelled when Bondi’s office ostentatiously released a set of thick Epstein binders in March that angered even supporters for their insufficiency.
Over the course of several months, some Trump officials tried to climb down from their Epstein conspiracy perches even as estranged DOGE czar Elon Musk very publicly tried to implicate Trump in them. Then the Trump Justice Department dropped a bombless bomb Monday when they claimed there actually was no client list, and no “Epstein Files” worth releasing.
On Thursday night’s edition of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Collins detailed the months and years that went into building up the tension over the promised client list — then played some choice cuts of the MAGA “meltdown” that includes demands for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s ouster:
KAITLAN COLLINS: (STORY TEASE) The President’s base is having a meltdown of its own making, after the Justice Department now says it is case closed when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, as some right-wing influencers are now calling for the Attorney General to be fired.
…
COLLINS: Tonight, some of the same right-wing influencers who were invited to the White House, back in February, you’ll remember this moment, with the promise of new information, only to be given a lot of stuff that was already publicly-known, are now calling for Attorney General, Pam Bondi, to be fired.

WHEELER: This seems like unforgivable behavior. How could she give us those phase one binders that contained nothing, while bragging about the cover sheet that she made, The most transparent administration in history, and tell us that the SDNY had the real goods? The binder was just proof of a Deep State coverup. That was the real story, she told us. Only to now say, Sorry, there’s nothing.
If I’m President Trump, I wouldn’t tolerate it. She’s a liability to him. She’s not worth it.

COLLINS: Another ally of the President’s, Laura Loomer, suggested that Bondi should, quote, “Resign for lying to the American people.”
And Elon Musk, who claimed, then deleted, that the President himself was included in the so-called Epstein files, wrote, It’s no-one-has- been-arrested-o’clock again.
Of course, Jeffrey Epstein himself was arrested.
But this comes as comments like this, from the FBI Director Kash Patel, where he once vowed that there would be no coverups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned.
The Justice Department now says they don’t plan to release any new documents on the Epstein matter. Top officials are now trying to quell a conspiracy that they once perpetuated themselves.
This memo that was issued states, One of our highest priorities is combating child exploitation and bringing justice to victims. Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of those ends.
