Many of President Donald Trump’s fiercest supporters are turning on his own Justice Department after a memo concluded Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and left no incrimination “client list.”
The memo, reported Sunday by Axios, concluded there was no evidence of foul play in the death of the convicted child sex trafficker and found no substantiation for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s earlier claims that an Epstein client list existed.
“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review. That’s been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that,” Bondi told Fox News in February in response to a question about an Epstein client list.
Now, with her department apparently contradicting her public claim, MAGA’s most faithful are calling for her ouster.
Former One America News Network (OAN) anchor Liz Wheeler and conservative commentators the Hodge Twins were among those demanding that Bondi be fired.
Wheeler had posed outside the White House in February with binders Bondi called the “Epstein Files: Phase 1,” the same day the attorney general spoke of reviewing the list on Fox News.

On Monday, Wheeler told The Blaze’s Glenn Beck that Bondi privately claimed the Southern District of New York was hiding additional Epstein-related files and alleged a “deep state cover-up,” though she said Bondi admitted she hadn’t personally seen the supposed documents.
“This seems like unforgivable behavior,” Wheeler told Beck. “How can she give the American people those phase one binders that contained nothing? If I’m President Trump, I would not tolerate this behavior anymore. She has become a liability to his administration.” (RELATED: White House Officials Reportedly Unaware Of AG Bondi’s Plan To Distribute Epstein Binders)

Other prominent Trump boosters were just as scathing.
Benn Johnson, a former Daily Caller reporter who has amassed a large following on X with his mostly pro-Trump commentary, also questioned the DOJ’s conclusion.
“To say there are thousands of ‘victims’ in a convicted sex trafficking ring and then to say there were no ‘customers’ when the operation happened right before our very eyes insults our intelligence. Trafficking women to no one? I don’t buy it,” Johnson tweeted. “There are other dark forces at play here….” he added. (RELATED: Unanswered Questions Continue To Fuel Epstein Speculation)
Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were both charged by the Feds for operating a massive sex trafficking ring that involved ‘thousands’ of victims.
They were both found guilty in federal court.

Robby Starbuck, a prominent conservative activist, also took aim Bondi’s February statements.
“Pam Bondi said the Epstein client list was on her desk to review for release to the public just a few months ago. Now the DOJ she leads claims that there’s no Epstein client list,” he tweeted Sunday evening.
“Sorry but this is unacceptable,” Starbuck said.

Was she lying then or is she lying now?

Even Alex Jones, a longtime Trump ally, said he was “physically nauseated” by the memo.
“NO ONE IS BUYING THIS!!” Jones tweeted Monday morning.
The DOJ is running cover for the CIA and Mossad.
NO ONE IS BUYING THIS!!
Next the DOJ will say ‘Actually, Jeffrey Epstein never even existed.” This is over the top sickening. pic.twitter.com/mudViXDfma

Jones pointed to the popular X personality “Catturd” as proof that outrage had spread to Trump’s most loyal base.
“Even people like Catturd, who is just the quintessential will not question anything in the Trump administration, is completely freaked out now. ” Jones said.
“So all the girls who have testified about being raped on Epstein’s island were lying and Giselle Maxwell is in prison for being the madam for nobody? Please tell this is fake news,” Catturd tweeted Monday.

Fox News’s Peter Doocy pressed White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on the apparent gulf between Bondi’s previous remarks and the DOJ’s Sunday memo.
“[Bondi] said the entirety of the paperwork, all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. That’s what the attorney general was referring to, and I’ll let her speak for that,” Leavitt answered.
“But again, when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed that bad people are put behind bars, where they belong. They promised an exhaustive review, that’s what they did,” Leavitt concluded.
