"We're going to lose 40 seats in 2026," warned former Trump aide Steve Bannon after Trump's Justice Department shut down Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theories.

Previously, United States Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed to have a "client list" of Epstein's on her desk, ready for review. However, earlier this week, the Department of Justice released a memo stating there is no evidence of a client list or Epstein blackmailing powerful figures, Axios reported.

During his remarks, Trump asked Bondi if she felt like answering the reporter's question. "I don't mind answering," the attorney general replied. When the president finished speaking, Bondi addressed the reporter and cited an interview she did with Fox News in February, which she said had "been getting a lot of attention."
