“This is why I said, and I’ll reiterate it again, the best thing that the president can do is appoint a special counsel to handle the Epstein files investigation," she added.

Conservative firebrand Laura Loomer, a stalwart supporter of President Donald Trump, warned him on Wednesday that his current approach to the Epstein matter risked undercutting his agenda.

Trump, the same day, repeated his assertion that the Epstein Files were a hoax from the Democrats, despite his own promises to release them while on the campaign trail and a botched PR stunt from Attorney General Pam Bondi involving binders of public information distributed to influencers.

“Obviously, this is not a complete hoax given the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in prison in Florida for her crimes and activities with Jeffrey Epstein, who we know is a convicted sexual predator,” Loomer said in an interview with Politico.

“This is why I said, and I’ll reiterate it again, the best thing that the president can do is appoint a special counsel to handle the Epstein files investigation," she added.

Trump's increasingly frustrated attempts to shut down inquiries into the matter, moreover, have alienated some of his supporters. On Wednesday, he explicitly denounced his "PAST supporters" for what he called falling for the Democrats' hoax.

The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 'Intelligence' Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It’s all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates," he posted on Truth Social.

"I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax," he went on. "Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
