Critics, including conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer and billionaire Elon Musk, have questioned Bondi's transparency, especially after she previously hinted at possessing potentially explosive evidence related to Epstein's connections. The discord intensified following a meeting between Bondi and FBI officials, leading to speculation about internal divisions over transparency in the ongoing investigation. Meanwhile, Trump expressed exasperation regarding the persistent focus on Epstein, stating, "Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?" as he urged his supporters to move on from the matter.
