CNN<\/a>\u2019s chief data analyst Harry Enten<\/a> on Friday said President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s administration made a \u201cmassive, unforced error\u201d after his Justice Department and FBI<\/a>\u2019s recent findings on Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> fueled backlash from MAGA world.<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump<\/a> would love this story to go away but, in fact, interest is climbing higher and higher, to quote Jackie Wilson<\/a>,\u201d Enten declared.<\/p>\n

In the days since a DOJ and FBI memo found no evidence of a so-called Epstein \u201cclient list,\u201d Trump supporters have criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi<\/a> over past comments that contradict the recent findings.<\/p>\n

The memo also challenges remarks from Trump\u2019s top FBI officials, ones they\u2019ve since backtracked from<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hours after Enten\u2019s segment, CNN<\/a> reported that Dan Bongino \u2014 the FBI\u2019s deputy director \u2014 has informed people that he\u2019s considering resigning<\/a> after clashing with Bondi over her handling of the disgraced financier\u2019s case.<\/p>\n

Bongino didn\u2019t show up to work Friday following the fight, per Axios<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enten noted that Google<\/a> searches for Epstein are up 1,200% this week<\/a> compared to last week, and he\u2019s currently the top topic searched<\/a> alongside Trump\/Trump\u2019s presidency on Google.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Donald Trump normally leans into stories in which there is controversy, like tariffs, for example. This is a story in which he\u2019s trying to get away from<\/a>, basically saying, \u2018Why is anyone still interested in this story?\u2019\u201d Enten said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the bottom line is people are very interested in this story to historic degrees, at least this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Years before taking the Oval Office and before the financier\u2019s downfall, Trump partied with Epstein<\/a>, and the president\u2019s name has appeared in unsealed documents related to the Epstein case, although he\u2019s never been accused of wrongdoing tied to Epstein\u2019s crimes.<\/p>\n

Enten later added that Epstein has been Googled \u201ca lot\u201d since Monday \u2014 the day that the FBI and DOJ released its memo, which said there was no evidence that the financier was murdered while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.<\/p>\n

He noted that Epstein has been searched 2.5 times more than Grok \u2014 Elon Musk\u2019s artificial intelligence chatbot that\u2019s faced backlash over antisemitism<\/a> \u2014 since Monday.<\/p>\n

Epstein has also been Googled 1.4 times more than tariffs since that time, per Enten.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CNN\u2019s chief data analyst Harry Enten on Friday said President Donald Trump\u2019s administration made a \u201cmassive, unforced error\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":59047,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[10755,69,42899,51,15053,50,1054,52],"class_list":{"0":"post-59046","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-cnn","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-harry-enten","11":"tag-headlines","12":"tag-jeffrey-epstein","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-republican-party","15":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114839159050187277","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/59047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
