Stewart Rhodes, founder of the OathKeepers, is accusing the U.S. government's so-called "deep state" of persuading Donald Trump to downplay the significance of unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files.
Speaking to supporters at a Comfort Inn in Texas last week, Rhodes said he believes Trump is losing support from within his base for dismissing renewed scrutiny around Epstein's connections, according to Mediaite. Rhodes told the crowd that Trump's labeling of the Epstein client list as a "hoax" was misguided and alienating.
