Charlie Kirk responds to a 14-second clip from his podcast that went viral this week, where he said: "I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being. I'm gonna trust my friends in the administration and the government to do what needs to be done.

As Trump rages wildly over his inability to get MAGA to shut up about the Jeffrey Epstein mess, a writer who’s tracking this battle takes us inside his effort to get this under control—and explains why it’s failing.

Charlie Kirk backtracks after saying he’s ‘done talking about Epstein,’ claims he meant just ‘yesterday’ - ‘When I said for the time being, I was talking yesterday,” Charlie Kirk insisted on Tuesday.

"Plenty was said this last weekend at our event about Epstein," he stated. "Honestly, I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being. I'm gonna trust my friends in the administration, I'm gonna trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done (and) solve it. Ball's in their hands."

As the Student Action Summit conference hosted by Charlie Kirk’s right-wing Turning Point USA group kicked off on Friday, multiple MAGA loyalists expressed anger and exasperation with President Trump’s handling of the case that has dominated much of the conspiratorial far-right.
