A former senior White House official has warned that the Republican Party could be at risk to lose dozens of congressional seats as a result of the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein Files.
Former White House aide Steve Bannon took to his podcast, The War Room, on Real America's Voice to share his predictions for the GOP in upcoming congressional elections.
"You're going to lose 10 percent of the MAGA movement. If we lose 10 percent of the MAGA movement right now, we ain't gonna ... we're gonna lose 40 seats in '26," he told a live audience. "We're gonna lose the president."
Bannon went on to say that Democrats wouldn't "have to steal" the elections "which they're gonna try to do in '28, because they're gonna sit there and they go ... they've disheartened the hardest core populist nation that's always been who governs us."
Infighting within the party has grown following the Department of Justice's release of hours of footage allegedly depicting the outside of Epstein's jail cell, indicating that no one entered the cell and that the financier in fact killed himself. However, viewers noticed that a minute was missing from the footage around the 12 hour mark. Furthermore, the footage was allegedly created using two source videos and exported off of Adobe Premiere multiple times, according to a report from WIRED.
Attorney General Pam Bondi also announced that there was no list of Epstein's clients after claiming earlier this year that the list was sitting on her desk.
"They f‑‑‑ed up because they trusted her," podcaster and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly said of Bondi.
Kelly added, "They were humiliated because she gave them all these binders that read 'Epstein Files,' you know, 'Volume 1,' and there was nothing new in there. Nothing. There was no scoop. Why would she do that?"
