Overview

• President Trump branded discussions about Jeffrey Epstein the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” and warned that supporters who persist in focusing on it would be expelled from his movement.
• On his program, Alex Jones mocked Trump’s banishment rhetoric as cult behavior, quipping “You’re not the pope, bro” and insisting he was never part of a Trump “church.”
• Jones denounced the prohibition on questioning Trump’s stance as non-Trumpian and emblematic of a “thoroughbred cult.”
• Despite his public rebuke, Jones affirmed his need for Trump’s success and aligned his mission against perceived globalist adversaries.
• The spat follows a DOJ and FBI memo issued in early July denying the existence of an Epstein client list and affirming his death by suicide.
