YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In the days since the Trump administration released a memo about Jeffrey Epstein directly at odds with conspiracy theories pushed by the president and some of his top lieutenants, Trump’s movement and most ardent supporters are in revolt. The Justice Department and the FBI released a memo last week concluding there was no evidence that Epstein had a list of powerful men who participated in his alleged underworld of sex trafficking and pedophilia. It also said the disgraced former financier died by suicide and was not murdered in his New York jail cell. Yet after years of big promises to the president’s base, the memo failed to produce a smoking gun, undercutting Trump and his team’s own words. And MAGA world isn’t happy, pitting the president’s closest allies against one another.

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer has called for a special counsel to investigate. CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig discusses the issue, and CNN's John Berman speaks with Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY). #CNN #News
