DOJ: No Epstein Client List; Controversy Persists

President Donald Trump sharply rebuked a reporter for questioning Attorney General Pam Bondi about the DOJ and FBI findings on Jeffrey Epstein, dismissing the inquiry as a 'waste of time' amid national crises like deadly Texas floods. The DOJ and FBI concluded that Epstein died by suicide in 2019 and found no evidence of a 'client list' or blackmail of influential figures, directly contradicting Bondi's prior insinuations. Bondi clarified her earlier comments, explaining they referred generally to Epstein-related files rather than a specific list. She also attributed the missing minute of jail surveillance footage to a routine technical reset by the Bureau of Prisons. Ongoing contradictions and the missing footage have fueled conspiracy theories and public skepticism, while Trump's dismissive response has intensified scrutiny. Despite the DOJ's conclusions, controversy and distrust over Epstein's death and alleged connections continue.
