Roseanne Barr Criticizes Trump Over Epstein Files Handling

President Donald Trump faced criticism, including from longtime supporter Roseanne Barr, after he dismissed questions about Jeffrey Epstein during a White House press briefing, calling it "unbelievable" that people were still discussing Epstein. Barr, along with other MAGA supporters and conservative commentators like Tucker Carlson, expressed frustration over the administration's handling of the Epstein case and the release of a Department of Justice memo stating there was no credible evidence of a "client list" or blackmail by Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was pressed about missing footage from the night Epstein died, was interrupted by Trump but eventually responded that the video confirmed Epstein's suicide. Critics within the MAGA community, including Michael Flynn and his son, are demanding greater transparency from the DOJ and FBI, fearing the issue could damage Republican prospects in future elections. Barr urged the president to pay attention to the gravity of child sex trafficking, emphasizing the need to confront the issue rather than deflect. The controversy reflects ongoing tensions within the conservative base regarding the unresolved questions surrounding Epstein's network and death.
