DOJ Finds No Epstein 'Client List'; Dismisses Murder Theories Amid Outrage
July 7, 2025
The Justice Department has announced that there is no evidence of a 'client list' related to Jeffrey Epstein, nor any indication that he was murdered, contradicting earlier claims and conspiracy theories.
This memo, released on July 7, 2025, indicated that much of the evidence in the Epstein case remains sealed by a court, with only a small portion expected to be disclosed had he gone to trial.
The department holds over 10,000 videos and images related to child sex abuse material, although the specifics of these materials have not been clarified.
Attorney General Pam Bondi had previously claimed to possess a client list, which she stated was under review as per directives from President Trump, raising expectations among supporters.
In February, Bondi mentioned that reviewing the 'client list' was part of a directive from Trump, alongside examining other historical files related to Epstein.
Following the DOJ's announcement, conservative figures and conspiracy theorists expressed outrage, claiming it reflects mismanagement of the Epstein investigation.
This announcement marks a significant retreat from earlier theories promoted by the Trump administration, particularly Bondi's suggestion of an existing client list.
During a press briefing, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questioned White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt about the contradiction between Bondi's earlier statements and the DOJ's findings.
Leavitt clarified that Bondi was referring to a comprehensive review of documents related to Epstein's crimes, rather than a specific client list.
Despite Bondi's promises of public releases regarding Epstein's case, delays have been attributed to the sensitive nature of the materials, including videos of minors.
Leavitt emphasized the administration's commitment to accountability for crimes and transparency in the investigation of Epstein's activities and death.
Epstein had a documented history of sexual exploitation of minors, having pled guilty to soliciting a minor in 2008 and facing accusations of exploiting over 250 underage girls at the time of his 2019 arrest.
