The Justice Department has been plagued by the Epstein case since final February when Bondi mentioned that the long-rumored “client list” was sitting on her desk for assessment. The DOJ later mentioned that Bondi misspoke and was referring typically to paperwork from his case.
A couple of months later, nevertheless, the Justice Department and FBI released a memo that affirmed Epstein died by suicide, mentioned there was no proof of a consumer listing, and reneged on Bondi’s guarantees to launch investigative files. The memo sparked bipartisan outrage and finally resulted a brand new transparency regulation handed by Congress.
