Epstein Client List Controversy: Leavitt Grilled on Bondi's Claims
White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt faced tough questions at a recent press conference regarding the alleged Epstein client list, following claims by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Despite expectations fueled by the previous administration, the FBI and DOJ report no evidence of blackmail or a definitive client list. The administration maintains Epstein's death was a suicide, dismissing conspiracy theories.
Leavitt defended the FBI and DOJ's findings, emphasizing a commitment to justice. While promising a review of Epstein-related files, officials caution against releasing materials containing explicit child pornography.
Journalist Peter Doocy pressed Leavitt on Bondi's statement about having the list on her desk, but Leavitt clarified that Bondi was referring to all case documents, not specifically a client list.
The public had anticipated a list of prominent figures involved in Epstein's activities, particularly those visiting his island. While names like Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton have surfaced in connection to Epstein through flight logs, contact books, and witness testimonies, they haven't been directly linked to his convictions.
Epstein's flight logs and contact book included names such as Alan Dershowitz, Naomi Campbell, Kevin Spacey, Stephen Hawking, Chris Tucker, Donald Trump, Tony Blair, and Rupert Murdoch.
