Overview

• DOJ and FBI concluded there is no evidence Jeffrey Epstein kept a client list and ruled his 2019 death a suicide, formally closing their review.
• MAGA activists reacted with outrage to the findings and continue to demand full release of all related documents.
• President Trump defended Attorney General Pam Bondi, calling her handling “very good” and urging her to publish any files she deems credible.
• Senior Senate and House Republicans publicly backed Bondi; House GOP members blocked Democratic amendments for complete declassification.
• House Speaker Mike Johnson broke from Trump’s calls to drop the issue by pressing Bondi to explain her earlier reference to an Epstein “client list.”
