The biggest political problem that Trump has is with powerful factions in his own base. They are the people who want to see the files and who have been promised all sorts of juicy goodies inside.

Trump is angering those people by withholding the files. It looks especially bad since Bondi said she already had them, and also had MAGA influencers come to the White House where she gave them all binders labeled “Epstein Files part 1” (that they were all kinda disappointed with).

This is all about Trump crapping on powerful influencers in his own base, and dividing his aides. It’s why Democrats like Ro Khanna are trolling to keep this story in the news.
