Overview

• A July 6 DOJ and FBI memo concluded Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide, that no client list exists and that no further documents will be released
• President Trump dismissed ongoing calls for additional files as a Democratic “hoax” and criticized supporters who pressed the issue as “weaklings” and “stupid Republicans”
• Speaker Mike Johnson and former Vice President Mike Pence have publicly urged the administration to publish all Epstein investigation materials
• A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds only 17% of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the Epstein files and about two-thirds believe the government is withholding key information
• Attorney General Pam Bondi’s earlier claim that the client list was “on her desk” was contradicted by the memo, fueling accusations of broken promises and bipartisan scrutiny
