‘They committed to an exhaustive investigation. That’s what they did and they provided the results of that. That’s transparency’.
In the wake of a new FBI memo claiming there was no client list of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, despite U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi saying she had it on her “desk right now to review,” the White House is now saying law enforcement did its job, and “the Trump administration is committed to truth and to transparency.”
During a press briefing Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked point blank: “The DOJ and the FBI have now concluded there was no Jeffrey Epstein client list. What do you tell MAGA supporters who say they want anyone involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged crimes to be held accountable?”
Leavitt replied: “The Trump administration is committed to truth and to transparency. That’s why the attorney general and the FBI director pledged at the president’s direction to do an exhaustive review of all of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and his death. And they put out a memo in conclusion of that review.
“There was material they did not release because, frankly, it was incredibly graphic and it contained child pornography which is not something that’s appropriate for public consumption.
“But they committed to an exhaustive investigation. That’s what they did and they provided the results of that. That’s transparency.”

Peter Doocy of Fox News immediately followed up on her answer, saying: “According to the report, this systematic review revealed no incriminating client list. So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on her desk?”
Leavitt responded: “I think if you go back and look at what the attorney general said in that interview which was on your network, Fox News … .”
“I’ve got the quote,” Doocy indicated, then proceeding to read it.
“[Fox News anchor] John Roberts said, ‘DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients. Will that really happen?’ And she (Bondi) said, ‘It’s sitting on my desk right now to review.”
Leavitt answered: “Yes, she was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork, all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. That’s what the attorney general was referring to and I’ll let her speak for that. But when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars.”

In a March interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News, Bondi indicated “a truckload of evidence arrived. It’s now in the possession of the FBI. Kash [Patel] is going to get me and himself really a detailed report as to why all these documents and evidence had been withheld. W’re gonna go through it, go through it as fast as we can, but go through it very cautiously to protect all the victims of Epstein, ’cause there are a lot victims.”
🚨MARCH: Pam Bondi says a “TRUCKLOAD” of Epstein files just arrived. Thousands of pages. FBI reviewing them.
🚨JULY: DOJ says there’s NO client list. Suicide. Case closed.
What happened to the truckload?
What happened to the truth?

In May, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino were facing fierce criticism for asserting Epstein indeed killed himself in jail.
