00:00The Jeffrey Epstein client list was supposed to expose everything until today when we found out
00:05it doesn't exist. And now some are asking, was Attorney General Pam Bondi lying then or now?
00:11In a memo released this week, the DOJ and FBI say they've reviewed all relevant case materials and
00:17found no document resembling a so-called client list, which led Fox News' Peter Doocy to ask
00:23Press Secretary Caroline Levitt what everyone is thinking now. Quote,
00:27So what happened to the Epstein client list that the Attorney General said she had on her desk?
00:32In response, Levitt stated the Attorney General was referencing all the materials related to
00:36Epstein's crimes, not just a particular list. Leaving one thread user to note,
00:41So Levitt spoke for Bondi, leaving Bondi having to corroborate that version.
00:45Meanwhile, others see it as backtracking because Levitt's explanation doesn't exactly match what
00:50Pam Bondi herself said on Fox News just a few months ago. But Doocy reminded the Press Secretary
00:56what Bondi first stated on their own network, it's sitting on my desk right now to review.
01:01That statement was in response to anchor John Roberts, who had asked,
01:05DOJ may be releasing a list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients, will that really happen?
01:10So where did the idea of a client list even come from?
01:14The phrase wasn't born from just conspiracy. Over the years, journalists, survivors, and even
01:19prosecutors reportedly referenced a potential list of high-powered names, who were supposed to be
01:24clients or associates that allegedly benefited from Epstein's trafficking ring. And the list
01:29was rumored to live somewhere within Epstein's infamous black book, flight logs, or sealed
01:33depositions. And many believed it would be used to identify co-conspirators and possibly bring new
01:39charges. That belief only grew when figures like Bondi publicly acknowledged having access to those
01:44files. And in February, reports stated that binders marked the Epstein files phase one and
01:50declassified were handed out to political influencers. But the release didn't go over
01:54well, as the binders mostly contained documents that were already publicly available. Now, with no
01:59evidence of a list even existing, and the conclusion that Epstein died by suicide due to video evidence
02:05of being locked in his cell from 10.40 p.m. to 6.30 a.m. the next morning, the memo states,
02:10it is the determination of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation
02:15that no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted. This means releasing any additional
02:21information is either unnecessary, potentially harmful, or legally not allowed. Which leaves us
02:26here, with a press briefing that raised more questions than answers, and a so-called client list
02:31that may have never existed at all. But what's your take? Share your thoughts below and follow us
