Loomer calls for special counsel to investigate Epstein files

Far-right activist Laura Loomer, a staunch ally of President Trump, said Sunday night there should be a special counsel to examine the handling of files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Loomer, who has bashed Attorney General Pam Bondi for her handling of the Epstein documents, told Politico’s Playbook newsletter that a special counsel should be appointed “so that people can feel like this issue is being investigated, and perhaps take it out of [Bondi’s] hands, because I don’t think that she has been transparent or done a good job handling this issue.”

The Justice Department and FBI issued a joint memo last week that stated Epstein did not have a client list and confirmed he died by suicide — not due to foul play many suspect — in his New York City jail cell in 2019. The findings incensed members of the MAGA movement, who have for years pushed conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death and claims that prominent Democrats would be named on a client list.

Bondi, in particular, has faced intense backlash, given her comments earlier this year pledging transparency around the Epstein files. The attorney general last week defended the Justice Department’s handling of the evidence.

The handling of the documents has sparked infighting among officials in the Justice Department and at the FBI, including Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino.

As Trump supporters press for more information, the president weighed in over the weekend to defend Bondi and express exasperation at the focus on Epstein.

“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,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
