Many of Trump’s most staunch backers are furious with the administration for what they perceive as a cover-up, particularly after the Justice Department’s announcement that Epstein’s “client list” did not exist. This has led to criticism from figures like Laura Loomer and Elon Musk, revealing a potential erosion of Trump’s populist appeal.
