Following a joint investigation by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI, Trump’s furious dismissal of the case’s ongoing interest on Tuesday led to the conclusion that Epstein committed suicide without having a “client list.”
Do you still have discussions with Jeffrey Epstein? In response to a reporter’s question about US Attorney General Pam Bondi, Trump said, “This guy has been talked about for years.”
“This creep, this guy, are they still in the news?” Before asking Bondi if she wanted to “waste the time” by answering the question, Trump continued, “That is unbelievable.”
With the events that occurred in Texas, Trump said, “I can’t believe you’re asking a question on Epstein at a time like this, when we’re experiencing some of the greatest success and also tragedy.”
It just seems like a desecration, they say.
Members of the administration were accused of participating in a cover-up about the truth about Epstein’s death and his connections to political and financial elites when prominent figures in Trump’s “Make America Great Again” coalition expressed disbelief and outrage.
The memo was described as “over the top sickening” by Alex Jones, the founder of the conspiracy website InfoWars, and suggested that the DOJ might subsequently make up its own claim that Epstein had never existed.
A far-right activist and influencer called on Bondi to step down after suggesting in a radio interview that she appeared more interested in being “another Fox News Barbie” than serving as attorney general.
Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host, claimed Bondi was “covering very serious crimes” in an episode of his podcast.
Since Epstein’s death in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019, conspiracy theories have been widely circulated, especially in right-wing circles, suggesting that he was murdered and, possibly, had sexually compromising material on powerful people.
Senior Trump administration figures, including FBI director Kash Patel and Bondi, were among the most well-known before the release of the memo, giving credence to the existence of a list of Epstein’s clients.
When Bondi was asked if her department planned to release “the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients” in a February interview with Fox News, she responded, “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review.”
Bondi said on Tuesday that those comments were merely a list of documents related to the Epstein case, not just those that were.
Bondi added that she was unaware of whether Epstein had connections to US or international intelligence agencies and that thousands of videos that had been looked into by the case had been released because they contained information about child sex exploitation.
