A new report has revealed that deceased convicted predator Jeffrey Epstein — whom President Trump recently said “no one cares about” and wondered why people are still talking about him — hired private investigators to intimidate FBI agents that were investigating him.
According to a new report from Rolling Stone, the infamous late trafficker and predator — who suspiciously “died by suicide” in 2019 while in federal prison — “hired private investigators to follow, intimidate, and surveil FBI special agents investigating allegations that he paid underage women for sex.”
Epstein has once again become a massive topic of conversation after Attorney General Pam Bondi said that there was “credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals” despite saying earlier this year that the Epstein client list was “sitting on her desk.” Trump also made multiple promises during his campaign to release the Epstein files, now to only backtrack.
“Multiple federal law enforcement officials who spoke to Rolling Stone on the condition of anonymity say that Jeffrey Epstein hired private investigators to follow, intimidate, and surveil FBI special agents investigating allegations that he paid underage women for sex. The FBI declined Rolling Stone’s request for comment,” Rolling Stone reported.
President Trump’s recent response to the Epstein files has angered his base and spiked interest in the topic
The administration’s position on the Epstein Files further unraveled after the Justice Department attempted to disprove conspiracy theories that Epstein was murdered by releasing 11 hours of footage from his jail cell, only to have investigators find that the video was missing a minute of footage and was likely edited using Adobe Premiere Pro.
“What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again,” Trump wrote on social media in an effort to tame his base’s fury over the admin’s 180.
“Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands. Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files?” he continued.
“Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about,” the statement concluded.
Trump’s supporters didn’t seem to be buying his statement, however, as he got “ratioed” on Truth Social — meaning his post had more replies than likes.
Trump’s post is completely unhinged, but the ratio is the real story.
His own base isn’t buying it. They’re refusing to drop the Epstein list he and his QAnon echo chamber hyped for years. They wanted it to take down the Clintons.

Despite the administration’s efforts to divert attention away from the Epstein controversy, they’ve actually done the exact opposite as data from Google Trends shows that searches for the word “Epstein” have spiked over the last few weeks.
