Trump Admin is Under Fire Over Epstein Reversal

President Donald Trump became defensive when asked about his administration’s handling of the federal government’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, particularly the deceased sex offender’s so-called client list.

“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday at the White House before a Cabinet meeting. “We have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things. Are people still talking about this guy, this creep? That is unbelievable.”

Trump’s Department of Justice and FBI caused confusion this week after they released a memo finding there was no evidence that Epstein blackmailed powerful men with his client list or that he was murdered.

The findings conflicted with Trump administration officials, including FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, stoking conspiracy theories before their respective nominations and confirmations that Epstein was killed to stop his client list from becoming public.

Then, in February, Attorney General Pam Bondi released Epstein files that were already available before telling Fox News his client list was “on her desk” to be reviewed.

On Tuesday, before Trump’s Cabinet meeting, Bondi told reporters she was referring to the Epstein files, along with documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

Bondi could not answer questions about Epstein being an intelligence agent for the United States or a foreign agency, with speculation that he could have worked for Israel‘s Mossad. However, she did answer questions concerning the missing minute from surveillance video outside Epstein’s jail cell on the night he died in 2019.

“The video was not conclusive, but the evidence prior to it was, showing he committed suicide,” she said. “There was a minute that was off the counter, and what we learned from the Bureau of Prisons is every year, every night, they redo that video. … So every night the video is reset, and every night should have the same minute missing.”
