President Donald Trump has lashed out at his own supporters as he tries to clamp down on criticism of his administration’s handling of much-hyped records in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation.

“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit’ hook, line, and sinker,” Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social site.
