DOJ Finds No Epstein 'Client List'; Dismisses Murder Theories Amid Outrage
  • 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.
