Bondi defends past remarks about Epstein 'client list' amid renewed scrutiny

Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in August 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is pushing back against criticism over her handling of the Justice Department's review into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In February, Bondi was asked on Fox News whether the Department of Justice would release a list of Epstein's clients.

She responded, “It’s sitting on my desk to review. That’s been a directive by President Trump.”

On Monday, the Department of Justice and the FBI released a joint memo stating the review uncovered no “incriminating client list,” no evidence of blackmail involving prominent individuals, and no grounds to charge any third parties.

Bondi was later pressed about her Fox News comment, given the DOJ’s finding that no such list exists. During a cabinet meeting Tuesday, she clarified that she was referring to general case files on her desk — not an actual client list.

“I did an interview on Fox, and it’s been getting a lot of attention because I was asked a question about the client list, and my response was, ‘It’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed’ — meaning the files, along with the JFK, MLK files as well,” Bondi said. “That’s what I meant by that.”

Earlier this year, Bondi distributed binders labeled “The Epstein Files: Phase 1” to online influencers — a move that also drew criticism, as much of the material was either already public or heavily redacted.

Epstein died by suicide in August 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York. Federal officials released enhanced surveillance video on Monday from the special housing unit where Epstein was held, showing...

Deep state coverup in full swing. It took her almost half a year to review documents that “don’t exist”.

Looks like we can’t expect anything from DOJ and FBI except the Bush - Obama - Biden team status quo.

I just feel hopeless about the whole thing. I see the Deep State winning on every front. Epstein, Diddy, Hunter’s laptop, the autopen, JFK, you name it. These people are untouchable. They run the show. Even now.

Is this the point where Trump moves her and adds Matt Gaetz in a senior but non Senate approval position to do the actual lifting?

I believe without knowing anything, that Trump has the blackmail info now, and he and others are using it to get concessions. I don’t know from who or for what. But I am guessing that our government with full knowledge of everyone we know and love, is using the Epstein and Diddy blackmail. I don’t like it. I hope we are getting something worth it. I don’t think so. But I am guessing that our favorite people are lying and they think the lie is worth it.

Every night the exact same minute of surveillance video is missing due to a system reset.

Oh….ok

“If voting could change things, they’d make it illegal.”

Follow that up with...

“WHAT YOU ALLOW, WILL CONTINUE.”

There is no peaceful solution to this. There never was, but people refuse to learn from history. Power will always try to protect itself and the corrupting influence is strong.

That missing one full minute just b4 midnight on the security video is sure sketchy.
First, they said, “Uh, both guards were on break, yeah that’s it. And the cameras malfunctioned. That’s the ticket.”
Now there was a camera, with edited footage.
