- Justice Dept finds no proof of Epstein’s client list or extortion
- Conservative Slam Attorney General Bondi and FBI Director Patel.
- Trump defends Patel, Bongino in the middle of backlash from Maga -Bagmen.
President Donald Trump’s Justice Department shrank Tuesday to answer questions after its leadership concluded that there was no evidence to support several long -standing conspiracy theories about the accused sex trade Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged clientele who drew Ire from supporters.
Conservatives influence Laura Loomer to Elon Musk has criticized the lawyer Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel for their findings, which came months after Bondi promised to reveal great revelations about Epstein, including “many names” and “A lot of flight tribes.”
“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” Bondi told Fox News In February, when she was asked if the Ministry of Justice would release Epstein’s client list.
On Tuesday in the White House, Bondi went back that comment and told journalists that she was referring to the entire Epstein file “along with other files about the murder of John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.” That’s what I meant by it, “she said.
She added that many of the videos in the Epstein exploration file “proved to be child porn.” This material she added, “will never be released. Will never see the light of day.”
The Ministry of Justice’s memo about Epstein, released on Monday, concluded that after reviewing more than 300 gigabytes of data, there was “no offensive client list”, nor was there any evidence that Epstein may have blackmailed prominent people.
The memo also confirmed prior conclusions from the FBI, which concluded that Epstein died of suicide in his prison cell while waiting for trial, and not as a result of a criminal act as a murder.
A subsequent report from the Ministry of Justice’s Inspector General found later that the Bureau of Prisons employees who were tasked with protecting Epstein did not seek his cell or check him in the hours before his suicide.
Patel and FBI vice President Dan Bongino, a former conservative podcaster, gave both previous statements before working on the FBI on a so-called client list and often suggested that the government hid information about Epstein from the US public.
Trump defended them in a true social speech Monday in the middle of a setback of his maga base and called them “greatest law enforcement professionals.”
He expressed annoyance when journalists asked him questions about Epstein Tuesday at the White House during a cabinet meeting and said, “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?”
It marks the first time that Trump’s officials had in public shot the stories pushed by several right -wing figures, especially including the FBI’s top to officials before Trump hired them.
Backlash was quick and brutal from his “Make America Great Again” movement, which has long had as a troarticle that “Deep State” eliter protected Epstein’s most powerful associates in the Democratic Party and Hollywood.
“Then you will say ‘actually, Jeffrey Epstein never existed once,'” Furious pro-trump conspiracy theorist Alex Jones tweeted.
“This is over the top sick.”
Trump has managed to avoid much of the direct guilt over the failure, as Ire is instead aimed at FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino.
