The Justice Department acknowledged Monday that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” and no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public.

FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and Attorney General Pam Bondi are in a mega three-way battle over the release of information (or lack thereof) pertaining to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is under scrutiny over assertions she’s made about a Jeffrey Epstein “client list" and the DOJ’s refusal to release more files in the Epstein case.

The acknowledgment represents a public walk-back of a theory that the Trump administration had helped promote, with Bondi suggesting that such a document was “sitting on my desk” for review.

A video clip of Bondi’s February Fox News interview resurfaced after Axios reported on Sunday that the Department of Justice and FBI found no evidence of Epstein’s “client list.” In the interview, Bondi had suggested she currently had the “client list” on her desk.

The U.S. Justice Department and White House have scrambled this week to explain a significant walkback from promises of potentially explosive information involving accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged clientele.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s comments about evidence the Justice Department is reviewing from its Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation have fueled anticipation about the expected release of more files related to the New York financier.

Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly said he discussed the Jeffrey Epstein case in March with President Trump, who told him that there are “a lot of names associated” with the disgraced financier for innocuous reasons.

Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a "client list," the U.S. Justice Department said Monday, announcing that no more files related to the wealthy financier's sex trafficking investigation would be made public,

The Associated Press has spoken with lawyers and law enforcement officials in cases concerning Jeffrey Epstein who say they have not seen and do not know of a trove of recordings like what Attorney General Pam Bondi has described.

Trump comes to Bondi’s defense amid uproar from his base over Jeffrey Epstein files flop The comments amounted to a striking rebuke of members of Trump’s base.
