Overview

  • Steve Bannon warned that losing just 10% of the MAGA base over the DOJ/FBI memo could cost Republicans up to 40 House seats and the presidency in 2026.
  • He demanded the DOJ appoint a special prosecutor to investigate alleged Epstein client lists and blackmail claims.
  • The Justice Department and FBI concluded in a memo that Epstein died by suicide and no client list exists, a finding defended by AG Pam Bondi despite internal dissent.
  • President Trump publicly blamed former Presidents Obama, Biden, and Clinton for the creation of the Epstein files without evidence.
  • Democratic leaders say they will highlight the GOP’s turmoil over the Epstein controversy in their 2026 midterm campaigns.
