'Makes you wonder': MSNBC host singles out curious Trump Epstein complaint
July 12, 2025
Reviewing the growing war within the Donald Trump administration over the status of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, MSNBC host Elise Jordan raised an eyebrow over the president's reluctance to talk about it.
On MSNBC's "The Weekend," the hosts first noted FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino's turnabout on the information about the accused pedophile over the space of several months, before taking up the Tuesday press availability where Trump, sitting next to Attorney General Pam Bondi, grew frustrated at the mention of Epstein's name.
The host shared the clip of the president stepping in when Bondi was questioned and complaining, "Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been talked about for years. Are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable."
The president added: "I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein at a time like this, when we're having some of the greatest success, and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration."
After watching the clip, fill-in host Jordan, a former policy advisor to Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), found the response from Trump, who never hesitates to weigh in on any subject, curiously reluctant to let the conversation proceed.
"I can't wait to talk about this," Jordan exclaimed. "Because when has Donald Trump ever said it's too soon or inappropriate or just the wrong time except in this case?"
"So the fact that Donald Trump really doesn't want to talk about this? It does make you wonder what's the there there," she suggested.
