Trump Defends Epstein Probe After DOJ Suicide Findings

President Trump expressed frustration during a Cabinet meeting when questioned about the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, dismissing the focus as a distraction from other issues. The Department of Justice and FBI reaffirmed that Epstein died by suicide and found no evidence of a 'client list' or foul play. Attorney General Pam Bondi clarified that her previous comments on a 'client list' referred to sensitive video evidence contained in the broader Epstein case file. Bondi further explained that the missing minute of jail surveillance footage was due to routine Bureau of Prisons video procedures. Despite official clarifications, skepticism and conspiracy theories about Epstein's death persist among some of Trump's supporters. The administration continues efforts to redirect attention from the Epstein controversy.
