Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing backlash after the Department of Justice released a memo claiming that Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list, and that there is no evidence he was murdered.
The memo, first reported by Axios, said the DOJ found “no incriminating client list,” “no credible blackmail evidence,” and declared that video footage supports the suicide ruling issued by the New York medical examiner.
“We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,” the DOJ stated.
Bondi Previously Claimed She Had the List “On Her Desk”
The memo has sparked outrage from Trump supporters and conservatives, many of whom recall Bondi’s bold claim in February that she had Epstein’s client list on her desk and intended to release it.
In response, the DOJ sent out so-called “declassified” binders to selected influencers — but the contents were almost entirely already public information, leading to embarrassment and anger among conservatives who expected a bombshell.
DOJ: No More Releases Coming
The DOJ memo went further, saying no additional Epstein records would be released.
“No further disclosure… would be appropriate or warranted,” it read.
The DOJ also invoked victim privacy laws, court-sealed records, and even a reference to child pornography, claiming they “will not permit the release” of such material.
Critics saw it as a convenient excuse to bury the truth.
Conservative Backlash
The backlash was immediate and fierce:
-
Liz Wheeler: “I’m supposed to be on vacation, but it’s time to fire Pam Bondi.”
- Hodgetwins: “Trump has to fire Pam Bondi She went on camera and told the world she has the Epstein client list on her desk Now they say there is no list??”
-
Robby Starbuck wrote, “Pam Bondi said the Epstein client list was on her desk to review for release to the public just a few months ago. Now the DOJ she leads claims that there’s no Epstein client list. Sorry but this is unacceptable. Was she lying then or is she lying now? We deserve answers.”
-
@catturd2 told 3.7 million followers, “So all the girls who have testified about being raped on Epstein’s island were lying and Giselle Maxwell is in prison for being the madam for nobody? Please tell this is fake news.”
-
Savanah Hernandez posted, “Why did Pam Bondi get in front of the entire nation and say she had the Epstein client list on her desk? She should step down as Attorney General for lying to the American public.”
Bondi’s Wild Claims Fall Apart
Bondi previously claimed the FBI was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” of Epstein and “child porn,” and she directed the bureau to release the “full and complete Epstein files.”
