Trump urges MAGA supporters to forget about Epstein files – DW – 07/13/2025

A US Department of Justice and the FBI memo concluded that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a client list involving high-profile associates. It frustrated Trump's supporters who criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi.
  • A joint DOJ–FBI memo reaffirmed that no “client list” of high-profile individuals existed and found no evidence Epstein blackmailed anyone.
  • MAGA hardliners (e.g., Alex Jones) and some Trump allies lash out at AG Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, demanding disclosures.
  • President Trump urged supporters to stop attacking his team over “Epstein Files,” calling Epstein “somebody nobody cares about” and insisting his administration is “PERFECT.”
  • Internal friction reportedly flared between Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino (who threatened to quit) and Bondi, though Trump insists DOJ/FBI are united.
  • Trump wants the FBI to refocus on his unproven 2020 election–fraud claims rather than “the same old…documents on Jeffrey Epstein.”

    There you go. And some quotes from the article:

    Compared to those who received longer courses of antibiotics, patients who received fewer antibiotics had either the same or a slightly lower risk of being colonized by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

    In most conditions, shorter courses of therapy resulted in cure rates that were the same as longer durations of antibiotics.

      This is an interesting finding, but there are two important things to keep in mind: they only reviewed some illnesses, and even there one had better cure rate for longer treatment, this means we need a lot more studies. And another one I will quote from the article you linked:

      You should still follow your doctor’s instructions about the length of antibiotic therapy.

      If you are feeling better and think that you may not need the entire course, be sure to ask your doctor first.

      Considering that many will not be able to ask a doctor on time to stop early, both because it may cost extra and because there’s usually a waiting list of who knows how long, it seems unrealistic to expect real change soon.

      So, I partially agree with you and will try to spread the info and ask doctors about this, but I think it should rather be seen as a need for more studies. Maybe there already are more, the article is from 2017, but right now I don’t have time to search for that.

      Thank you for the information
