President Donald Trump is facing major backlash from his base over his response to a reporter's question about Jeffrey Epstein. During a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, a reporter questioned Attorney General Pam Bondi about Epstein.

The Justice Department acknowledged Monday that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” and no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public.

At the center of the drama is the so-called "client list" — a purported document containing names of people, likely many of them powerful, to whom the late Palm Beach financier is said to have provided underage girls for sex. Moreover, the speculation is that Epstein used the list to extort and blackmail people.
