Many of President Donald Trump’s close advisers, both inside and outside the White House, have grown increasingly frustrated with Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case,

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to explain why Attorney General Pam Bondi talked earlier this year of a Jeffrey Epstein client list but now a Justice Department memo says there is none.

Bondi is facing scrutiny after a memo from the DOJ said there was no evidence that Epstein kept a "client list" or was murdered.

Bondi has faced pressure after a first document dump she hyped failed to deliver revelations. Far-right influencers were invited to the White House in February and provided with binders marked “The Epstein Files: Phase 1” and “Declassified” that contained documents that had largely already been in the public domain.

A small but influential cohort of the president’s far-right political coalition spared him their ire but turned with a vengeance on the attorney general and the top officials at the F.B.I.
