Attorney General Pam Bondi did not inform White House officials in advance that she planned to distribute binders labeled “Epstein Files: Phase 1” to MAGA-aligned activists and social media influencers at a White House event last week. The move, which senior staff did not anticipate, quickly stirred controversy and frustration among those closest to President Trump, multiple sources said. https://badlandsmedia.tv/white-house-was-blindsided-when-bondi-distributed-epstein-files-to-influencers/ @PatelPatriotDevolution

They’re all frauds and this proved it. Maybe that was the point of doing it this way, especially considering the rumor that the binders don’t really have any new info. @PatelPatriotDevolution
