Washington, DC - Attorney General Pam Bondi reiterated her position this week that there is no such thing as an “Epstein client list,” responding to renewed public speculation following a series of emails linking prominent political figures to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaking to reporters Friday, Bondi said two points remain, in her view, “beyond dispute.” First, she stated unequivocally that no official document or government-verified list exists naming supposed clients of Epstein. Second, she acknowledged that rumors continue to connect former President Bill Clinton to Epstein’s network.
“This is not a matter of interpretation,” Bondi said. “There is no Epstein client list, but Bill Clinton's name is all over it. Both things are true in the public conversation, but neither amounts to evidence of such a list.”
Bondi’s remarks came after renewed calls for the release of materials from Epstein-related investigations. Some commentators have speculated that former President Donald Trump might be withholding information to shield Clinton, though no evidence has been provided to substantiate that claim.
Legal analysts note that the documents associated with Epstein’s criminal cases and civil suits involve sealed court records, witness protections, and private settlement agreements—making it difficult for outside parties to obtain comprehensive lists of any kind.
Bondi emphasized that political narratives on both sides risk distorting the facts. “This is not about partisanship,” she said. “It’s about maintaining credibility in law enforcement and due process.”
