Overview
- O’Reilly repeatedly insisted that Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden administration had prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein despite Epstein’s 2019 suicide under President Trump’s watch.
- Leland Vittert interrupted O’Reilly on NewsNation to clarify that Epstein was arrested and died in custody in August 2019, before Biden took office.
- After multiple corrections, O’Reilly acknowledged his error on-air, conceding “I stand corrected” regarding the conviction timeline.
- Last week’s DOJ and FBI memo concluded Epstein took his own life in 2019 and found no evidence to support allegations of an uncharged client list.
- House Democrats’ effort to compel former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all Epstein files within 30 days has been blocked by House Republicans.
