In an apparent reversal from what President Trump said earlier today about the (in his words) “Jeffrey Epstein hoax,” he’s now allegedly in support of appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the Epstein case.

Today, John Solomon gave Steve Bannon a snapshot of his recent interview with President Trump.

According to Solomon, President Trump is totally on-board with the idea of appointing a special counsel to take over the investigation.

Watch what Solomon had to say about it here:

BREAKING: John Solomon previews his interview with President Trump, says Trump told him that he supports a deepstate special prosecutor, which will include an investiagtion into Epstein:

BANNON: “You did inform him that they’re thinking about appointing a special counsel on this to take over this entire, this entire investigation?”

SOLOMON: “Yeah, and he said, ‘I think it’s a good approach. Let’s just do it. Let’s get, let’s get the trust of the American people, let’s get accountability and then let’s focus on the things that matter.’

BANNON: “So he’s on board with the situation of getting a special prosecutor and having the Epstein situation put into that so that can be formally looked at.”

SOLOMON: He immediately volunteers it, and then I follow up on it, but he immediately brings up Epstein, like ‘just throw that into it, let’s get it all answered. I got nothing to hide. I want truth and I want prosecutions and I just want the justice system to take care of what needs to be taken care of.’ It was really a remarkable moment.”

That all sounds great…

However, when asked about it by a reporter today, President Trump said he has “nothing to do with it.”

Watch here:

This apparent back-and-forth is leaving a lot of folks on social media confused:

My take?

I think that it’s likely in that last clip, President Trump just meant that it would be up to AG Pam Bondi to appoint a special prosecutor.

He doesn’t have “anything to do with it” because he won’t be personally appointing anybody, but he doesn’t shun the idea altogether.

Now, that raises another concern, though: how do we know we will get somebody good to investigate this and not just cover it all up again?

That’s my biggest concern here.
