MAGA influencers are short-circuiting after President Donald Trump's Department of Justice on Sunday leaked a memo saying there are no bombshell files about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and that the deceased financier indeed committed suicide in a federal prison.
"This systematic review revealed no incriminating 'client list,'" said the joint memo from the DOJ and FBI, which was obtained by Axios. "There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties."
Trump and his aides—including Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino—had previously said the government was sitting on an Epstein client list to protect the powerful people within it. Bongino also bought into the conspiracy that Epstein was murdered in a prison to keep damaging information about powerful people from coming out in a trial.
After Trump reentered the White House, Bondi tried to appease the base that was demanding the release of the purported Epstein files by holding a stunt at the White House where she gave a group of Trump-loving social media personalities binders it claimed were filled with the purported documents.
The binders, however, contained no new evidence and led to yet another MAGA meltdown.
When Trump’s MAGA base demanded more information, Bondi told Fox News that she had Epstein's client list "sitting on my desk right now to review"—a comment we now know to be a lie as the DOJ said in its memo that no client list ever existed.
