Trump Outraged At Questions About 'Creep' Jeffrey Epstein Following DOJ Memo

President Donald Trump speaks during a cabinet meeting at the White House, Tuesday, July 8, 2025, in Washington. US President Donald Trump snapped at a reporter for asking about the Justice Department’s memo this week concluding that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein did not possess a “client list” of powerful figures ― with the president calling the deceased sex offender he used to associate with a “creep.”At the White House’s Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, a reporter asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to explain why there was a missing minute in the 10 hours of jailhouse security footage her department included in its investigation into Epstein, who died in his cell while awaiting trial for federal sex trafficking charges in 2019.“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years,” the president said before Bondi could answer. “I mean I can’t believe you’re asking a question on Epstein at a time like this, where we’re having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration.”The DOJ published a memo on Monday that supported earlier reports that Epstein had killed himself, contradicting right-wing conspiracy theories that he was murdered in order to prevent connected high-profile associates from being exposed. The memo included jailhouse footage that appeared to show no one entering the financier’s cell in the hours before his death, with one minute missing from the video.President Donald Trump listens as Attorney General Pam Bondi speaks during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on July 8, 2025 in Washington, D.C. “The video was not conclusive, but the evidence prior to it was showing he committed suicide. And there was a minute that was off the counter, and what we learned from the Bureau of Prisons was every night they redo that video,” Bondi said. “So every night the video is reset, and every night should have the same minute missing.”The memo also said that investigators found no evidence Epstein possessed a “client list,” which was rumoured to have been used to blackmail powerful figures he helped victimise women. The New York financier publicly had ties to multiple high-profile people, including Trump, who maintains that he stopped having a relationship with Epstein at least a dozen years before his death.Bondi herself said in February that there was such a list sitting on her desk for review as part of a “directive by President Trump.” The attorney general clarified at Tuesday’s meeting that she was referring to entirety of the Epstein case files, not a specific client list.Many conservative voices on the right have since lashed out at Bondi for the DOJ’s conclusion, accusing the Trump administration of hiding information about Epstein from the public. The DOJ’s memo said that the department’s release of information has been in the interest of transparency with the public.Related...Trump Accuses His Benefactor Putin Of Spewing ‘Bullshit’ About Ukraine InvasionKremlin Slams Trump Administration For Resuming Weapon Shipments To UkraineTrump Was Asked About A Key Promise.
