SHOT/CHASER: Trump’s Attorney General Claims There’s No Epstein Client List Five Months After Saying It’s Sitting on Her Desk
July 7, 2025

SHOT: Five months ago, Donald Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi said she had Epstein’s client list on her desk.
Pam Bondi: “[Jeffrey Epstein’s client list is] sitting on my desk right now to review. That’s been a directive by President Trump.”
CHASER: … but now, Bondi’s Justice Department is claiming there is no Epstein list and no “further disclosure” of Epstein-related material “would be appropriate or warranted.”
Axios: “DOJ, FBI conclude Epstein had no ‘client list,’
“Still, the questions about whether Trump’s name is in the government’s Epstein files have persisted because they had been acquaintances who attended the same parties in the 1990s.
“In a 2017 interview with author Michael Wolff, Epstein even claimed that at one point he was ‘Donald Trump’s closest friend.’ …
“Democrats, meanwhile, have demanded to know more about the Epstein-Trump relationship. …
“The DOJ and FBI say in the memo that no ‘further disclosure’ of Epstein-related material ‘would be appropriate or warranted.’”
The Hill: “Tech billionaire Elon Musk trolled President Trump early Monday with a post knocking the administration for making no arrests related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
“Musk, Trump’s former ally-turned-foe, posted an image to his social platform X of ‘The Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter,’ set to ‘0000.’
“‘What’s the time? Oh look, it’s no-one-has-been-arrested-o’clock again …,’ Musk captioned the photo.”
Elon Musk: “Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.”
