Fox Business reporter Charlie Gasparino is firing back at critics who say officials and media have blown up Jeffrey Epstein connections to President Trump. Gasparino claims they’re chasing drama instead of truth. “This is political theater,” he said of claims tying Trump to Epstein’s crimes. Critics argue the focus should stay on Maxwell and real victims.
Florida’s former Attorney General Pam Bondi faces heat for hyping Trump-Epstein ties during TV appearances. Gasparino insists Bondi’s “running point” for a narrative lacking proof. He warns her overstatements risk distracting from holding Maxwell accountable.
Trump denied knowing Epstein well, calling the claims “fake news.” His allies say media ignores decades of documented sex crimes by Democrats linked to Epstein. “Why fixate on Trump when others had worse ties?” one strategist asked.
The Justice Department’s secret meeting with Maxwell sparked GOP outrage. Lawmakers demand answers: Why discuss a convicted trafficker when she’s already in prison? Gasparino called it “fishy timing” amid Trump’s renewed Senate bid.
Media applauded when Maxwell’s notes emerged but Gasparino warns they’re cherry-picking quotes. He points to decades of ignored Epstein reporting until Trump entered politics. “Same facts, different targets,” he said.
No new evidence links Trump to Epstein’s crimes. Gasparino stresses Maxwell’s 2016 trial revealed major players – including Democrats and powerful financiers. “Why now? The answer starts with November 2024,” he tweeted.
Conservatives say it’s time to shift focus to Maxwell’s remaining associates. “Lock her up and stop politicking,” one voter told Fox News. Gasparino agreed: “Prosecute the criminals, not Donald Trump’s canceled business acquaintances”.
This saga proves liberal media’s double standard. Epstein preyed on kids for decades before Trump faced similar scrutiny. Gasparino vows to keep digging: “Americans deserve truth, not faints over Boomer boogeymen.” The fight continues – with Trump loyalists locked and loaded.
