Trump comes to Bondi’s defense amid uproar from his base over Jeffrey Epstein files flop

UNITED STATES, JUL 8 – Trump supports Attorney General Pam Bondi amid criticism from his base after Justice Department confirmed no Epstein client list exists and no further files will be released.

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump defended Attorney General Pam Bondi amid criticism over the Justice Department's refusal to release more Jeffrey Epstein investigation documents.
  • The criticism followed a Monday memo stating no further disclosures were appropriate and acknowledging that no Epstein client list exists despite Bondi's earlier claims.
  • Bondi clarified she referred to Epstein case files on her desk, not a client list, and defended her claim that the FBI reviewed tens of thousands of videos containing child pornography downloaded by Epstein.
  • The Justice Department's Monday memo referenced a video meant to prove Epstein committed suicide in jail in 2019 and noted over 10,000 illegal child sex abuse images, while most material remains sealed to protect victims.
  • The episode deepened division within Trump's base, as far-right influencers rejected official claims, called for Bondi's resignation, while the administration urged supporters to accept the case closure.
