‘Fox & Friends’ hosts warn Trump over dismissal of Epstein case without explanation: ‘Ticking time bomb’

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: The FBI’s latest revelations in the infamous Jeffrey Epstein case have turned many MAGA loyalists against the Donald Trump administration.

The newest to join the swelling chorus of critics questioning the administration are the ‘Fox & Friends’ hosts, who cautioned President Donald Trump against quietly sweeping the explosive Epstein case under the rug.

'Fox & Friends Weekend' anchor Kevin Corke described the unfolding situation as a "ticking time bomb" and urged the Trump administration to offer an explanation to reassure supporters.

Earlier this month, a bombshell report from the Department of Justice and FBI declared that no “client list” exists for disgraced financier, and he died by suicide while awaiting trial in 2019.

The report sent MAGA loyalists into a tailspin, sparking calls for Attorney General Pam Bondi to resign. On Saturday, July 12, the president bashed his own supporters for fixating on the story and targeting Bondi for her part in the Epstein probe.

“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’ They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and ‘selfish people’ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein,” he wrote on Truth Social.

He added, "LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT! ... One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the 'HOTTEST' Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about."

In Sunday’s episode, Corke, along with hosts Charles Hurt and Rachel Campos-Duffy, responded to Trump’s defense of Bondi, saying the administration is going to have to do more if it wants to satisfy the public.

“If there’s anybody who could walk in and say, ‘OK, we’ve resolved all of the questions and there is nothing here,’ it would be President Trump and his crew,” Hurt said.

“The problem is, you can’t really do it without giving some explanation. And there has to be some explanation. And I think that’s why you have a lot of people still pretty with a lot a very valid questions,” he added.

"If you just go out there, you can defuse this ticking time bomb," Kevin Corke continued, calling for a quick interview with DOJ leadership to regain trust in the procedure.

“You can’t tell me that a thousand people were hurt and that there are no people out there that we can arrest. You can tell me that, ‘Sorry. We don’t have a list.’ Fine, don’t have a list. Tell me who the perpetrators were," he added. 

“Let’s depose every single person who might have had a chance to get on that list, and might have been out there at that island, and let’s talk to them. Let’s find out what happened. You’re telling me there are videos out there in New Mexico and on the island and in New York, and nobody saw anything? I don’t buy it. And that’s why they need to get out there and face the fire,” Corke explained. 

“Doesn’t have to be long, but you have to answer questions to the American people. Because absent that, this story won’t die and that is a distraction the president doesn’t want,” he noted.
