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."

White House officials are dismissing the chances of a revolt in his base over the announcement that there are no developments in the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier accused of sex trafficking minors.
