President Donald Trump is disappointing some of his most visible supporters.

Conservative podcaster Patrick Bet-David was among the legions of Trump voters who were baffled Sunday when the administration announced that the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in jail while awaiting sex trafficking charges, is closed.

Epstein died in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019 of what was officially determined to be suicide. His death and known ties to prominent figures fueled theories of a “client list” of powerful people, and Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi promised to release just such a document.

That promise came crashing down with a memo Sunday from Trump’s Justice Department, which stated “no incriminating ‘client list’” or credible evidence of Epstein blackmailing powerful figures was found. Trump scolded a reporter Tuesday for asking if more information was going to be released.

Bet-David on Tuesday condemned the reaction from Trump on Fox News.

“There is a reason why people are asking about this,” he told host Jesse Watters. “This is by far — and I’m a supporter, three times I voted for this man — this is by far the biggest fumble of the administration they’ve had thus far, and here’s the reason why.”

Bet-David pointed to a 2024 Fox News interview in which Trump expressed uncertainty over releasing the Epstein files. “I guess I would,” Trump said at the time. “I think that less so because, you don’t know, you don’t want to affect people’s lives if it’s a lot of phony stuff in there.”

“He didn’t say, ‘Yes,’” Bet-David recalled Tuesday about the exchange. “He was a little bit hesitant of bringing that information out. Why? So why does his leadership team go out there? They’re like, ‘We have this information, and we’re going to release this.’”

Before becoming FBI director, Kash Patel appeared convinced that the FBI was refusing to release Epstein’s “client list” to protect powerful people from being incriminated. After being appointed head of the bureau, he stated that he believes Epstein died by suicide, flouting a popular conspiracy theory about Epstein’s death.

Bondi said in February that the rumored client list was “sitting on my desk right now to review” — but said Tuesday during a Cabinet meeting that she was actually referring at the time to various files about his case instead.

“Why are you fumbling this?” Bet-David, who interviewed Trump in October, asked Tuesday.

“Why are you not having an emergency meeting together to conversate and say, ‘Hey, we’re going to be on the same page with messaging on this?’” he continued. “All you have to do is send a message to everybody and say, ‘Let’s have a conference call.’”

The conservative pundit ultimately went on to praise the Trump administration for its tariff policy and supposedly positive handling of escalating tensions with Iran, but argued that the lack of clear-cut messaging on the Epstein case has been “a huge let down.”

“I think this was the biggest fumble when it came down to Epstein,” he said. “And the more they answer like that, the more attention you’re going to draw. People are going to ask, ‘Why are you so nervous about this? What do you know that the rest of us don’t know?’”
