Musk rises to Bondi and Patel’s defense after DOJ’s chaotic Epstein files rollout– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
Elon Musk warded off critics of Attorney General Pam Bondi who were furious about how she handled the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
After she released some Epstein records on Thursday, a social media firestorm sparked, including concern over why thousands of documents were missing. Bondi said that evening that the FBI failed to follow her directive to release all the files. FBI Director Kash Patel was ordered to “deliver the full and complete Epstein files to [Bondi’s] office” by Friday morning, the attorney general wrote in a letter calling for an investigation into the matter.
While some allies of the Trump administration questioned Bondi’s rollout and created a deluge of theories as to the Epstein “cover-up,” Musk defended the freshly appointed leaders of the Department of Justice and FBI, suggesting they were the victims of a “hostile crew” of employees leftover from the Biden administration who were trying to thwart the full and transparent release of the Epstein files.
“Imagine if you were suddenly appointed AG or head of the FBI,” Musk said on Friday. “You were just thrown on a ship with a hostile crew.”
“Until you appoint some new crew members and figure out the ropes, you can’t steer the ship effectively. It’s literally impossible,” he continued in a post to X.
