VIDEO: Trump's Lawyer, Key MAGA Influencers, No Longer Care About The Epstein Files After A Series of Personal Calls From Trump Changed Their Tune
How Trump allies torched their credibility by helping orchestrate MAGA’s bizarre U-turn on “the list.”
You can’t unring this TRUMP/EPSTEIN FILES bell, but Donald Trump and his paid MAGA proxies are doing their level best to “cover-up the cover-up” after a series of personal calls from Donald Trump yesterday.
Last week, Alan Dershowitz—Harvard law professor, Trump impeachment defender, and longtime Epstein pal—told Sean Spicer the quiet part out loud: The Trump regime was suppressing the Epstein files. “I’ve seen the documents,” he boasted. “I know the names. I know who’s suppressing them.”
And yesterday... he folded like a Miami beach rub and tug towel.
Under the CNN glow of Chris Cuomo’s morning show, Dershowitz spun around and denied everything. “There’s no client list. There never was a client list,” he declared with the certainty of a man who desperately wants you to forget what he said on camera three days prior:
Dersh 48 hours ago: “HAND TO GOD, I KNOW THE NAMES AND WHO'S SUPPRESSING THE FILES!!”
Dersh 12 hours ago: There are no files, just affidavits of victims, and most of the pedophiles are dead or out of office.
LOL. Captain “Underpants” got a call from the BOSS.
We’re supposed to believe that? After defending Epstein for decades? After fighting multiple women in court who accused him of abuse? After admitting—yes, actually admitting—that he got a massage on Epstein’s island but “kept his underwear on”?
If you thought the Epstein scandal was over, you’re missing the real story: the cover-up of the cover-up began yesterday, and Dershowitz wasn’t the only Trump proxy to get a call from TRUMP…
The Flip Heard ‘Round the Base
Dershowitz’s original claim on July 10 was explosive. Speaking to Spicer, he said, verbatim:
“Documents are being suppressed to protect individuals. I know the names... I know who’s suppressing them.”
This was red meat for a MAGA base that had spent years demanding Epstein transparency. For all their conspiracy rabbit holes, the “client list” was their crown jewel. And here was Dershowitz, a Trump-world insider, all but confirming that the list does exist—and someone’s hiding it.
But just three days later, Dershowitz appeared on NewsNation’s Cuomo and essentially said, “Never mind.”
“No, there’s no client list and never has been a client list.”
Instead, he claimed people were confusing affidavits from Epstein victims (with names redacted by a judge) for an actual “list.” And then came the kicker: Dershowitz insisted that Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and the Justice Department had nothing to do with any cover-up.
Suddenly, the story shifted from "Trump is hiding the truth" to “blame the courts.”
How convenient.
From “Release the List” to “Move On”
Dershowitz’s reversal came just as Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi were facing blowback from their own base over the exact same issue.
After years of teasing that he’d “release everything” on Epstein, Trump’s Justice Department issued a bland memo claiming there’s no real list and Epstein died by suicide. MAGA didn’t buy it. Former loyalists like Michael Flynn and Matt Walsh publicly lashed out. Pro-Trump influencers demanded Bondi's resignation. Trump’s once-devoted base was turning.
So what did Trump do?
He picked up the phone.
According to multiple reports, Trump personally called MAGA influencers—including Charlie Kirk, Tim Pool, and Dinesh D’Souza—to tell them to shut it down. “Move on,” was the message. “Support Bondi. Forget the list.”
And like clockwork, they obeyed:
Charlie Kirk suddenly told his audience he was “done talking about Epstein for the time being.” When backlash hit, he claimed it was just a break. 🤔
(Pardoned Trump Criminal Propagandist) Dinesh D’Souza told MAGA to drop it entirely after begging for the release of the Epstein files.
Tim Pool went whole cult, accusing Epstein file seekers of “wanting to see child porn
You can’t make this stuff up - but these MAGA boot lickers sure can because they are getting paid to make it up. In fact, Charlie, Tim, and Dinesh, along with Dersh and every other MAGA influencer, are making bank to cover up the cover-up.
That’s how this works.
You know what might make a right-wing podcaster influencer change their mind from wanting to out pedophiles to wanting to protect them?
Money. Lots and lots of Money. Russia paid Tim Pool $100 an episode through Tenet Media before he got caught by the DOJ. That money doesn’t replace itself.
Dershowitz: The Massage, the Island, and the Underwear
Let’s not forget who Dershowitz is in all this. The man isn’t just a talking head. He’s in the story.
Virginia Giuffre accused Dershowitz of having sex with her multiple times as a minor. So did Sarah Ransome. Both claimed Epstein trafficked them to Dershowitz. Both detailed abuse at his hands.
He’s denied it all. Sued for defamation. Commissioned a report from ex-FBI Director Louis Freeh to “clear” himself. But one detail always sticks out:
“Yes, I got a massage at Epstein’s, but I kept my underwear on.”
The absurdity of that defense says it all.
Imagine being so embedded in Epstein’s world that your defense is literally: “But I didn’t take off my boxers during the massage.”
This is the guy who says there's no list. This is the guy defending Trump and Bondi.
What Are They Really Hiding?
So what’s really going on?
There is no neat “client list” on DOJ letterhead. But that’s not the point. The Epstein files include:
Flight logs.
Affidavits from victims.
Security footage.
Visitor records.
Schedules and calendars.
Sealed documents with names redacted.
THOUSANDS of pictures and videos. THOUSANDS.
People are in those documents. People are in those pictures. People with power, including Heads of State, billionaires, judges, celebrities, and scientists, all with a history of pedophilia.
And now, thanks to Bondi, Trump, and Dershowitz, there’s more reason than ever to suspect those redactions protect Trump allies or even Trump himself.
Why else would the President be calling Charlie Kirk to get him to stop talking about it?
Why else would Dershowitz shift from “I know who’s suppressing it” to “there’s nothing there”?
Why else would MAGA’s loudest influencers turn silent overnight?
Because the client list may not be fake, but the cover-up is very real.
The Base Revolts And Trump Is Freaking Out
For years, Trump’s base believed he’d “drain the swamp” and “expose the elite pedophile ring.” They believed Epstein’s files were the key to it all. Trump let them believe that. He even encouraged it.
Now that same base is realizing the truth: they were played.
If Trump had nothing to hide, he wouldn’t be running interference. If Dershowitz had nothing to fear, he wouldn’t need to lie on TV.
And if this government had any integrity left, we’d already know who’s in those redacted affidavits.
Instead, we get silence. Gaslighting. Obvious spin. And underwear-based denials.
But the truth is still there—buried, sealed, redacted for now.
We won’t stop digging. Neither should you because the Party of Trump is actively protecting pedophile rapists, like him, from the accountability his victims rightfully deserve.
First, thank you so much for all you do and your great reporting to stay on top of everything. I make it a habit to read your articles every day, listen to you with Dean and Monday with Lev, and appreciate every minute of it!! Second, my head spins every time! I get so frustrated with the people who don't have the decency and integrity to stand up for what is right. Maybe it goes back to my childhood of being taught not to lie, and if I did, I was in BIG trouble. But we will continue to call them out, and that is what you are great at.
A fantastic column....it shows us why Epstein's files matter.
