Trump’s DOJ Said the Epstein List Was on Their Desk. Now They Say It Never Existed.

The Trump regime now claims the Epstein client list never existed—after months of promising to release it.

By Ben Meiselas

So now the Trump regime is telling us the Epstein client list never existed. That’s the new line from the DOJ and FBI, according to a memo obtained by Axios. Apparently, Jeffrey Epstein—convicted sex trafficker, serial predator, and longtime friend of Donald Trump—never kept a list, never blackmailed anyone, and according to Trump’s DOJ, just died by suicide. This, after years of Trump’s inner circle telling us the exact opposite. Nothing to see here, folks.

This is the same DOJ that, just a few months ago, said the list was “sitting on [Pam Bondi’s] desk” being reviewed under direct orders from Trump himself. That’s not a rumor. That was from Bondi’s own mouth. The official White House rapid response account even promoted it. Now, all of a sudden, the list vanished into thin air? We went from "Phase One" Epstein binder MAGA propagandist theatrics in February to "never existed" in July. Their lies are unraveling.

We interviewed Axios reporter Alex Isenstadt, who spoke about his report regarding the memo’s findings: no client list, no blackmail, no murder. And now they're releasing jail footage—footage that the Trump administration previously told us did not exist due to “technical errors”—as supposed proof Epstein wasn’t murdered. But let’s not forget who's running this operation now: MAGA diehards like Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, both of whom once hyped up the very conspiracy theories they’re now trying to kill. Why the sudden change of heart?

Because Trump’s name is all over the files we already know about. He’s in the flight logs at least seven times. He’s referenced in depositions from victims. He’s “Doe 174” in court records. He is on video partying and ogling women with Epstein and said he was a “terrific guy” who “likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” One of Epstein’s survivors was recruited from Mar-a-Lago as a minor. And yet, Trump’s crew now wants us to forget it all. No more questions, please.

Let’s rewind to Elon Musk’s own words just weeks ago: “@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.”

So which is it? Was the list real, on Bondi’s desk, and now it’s buried? Or are we supposed to take Trump's DOJ at their word that it never existed in the first place? Whatever the answer, one thing is clear: the administration has lied.

And don’t forget when I interviewed Congressman Dan Goldman, who slammed this whole farce for what it is: political interference to protect Trump. Goldman asked the right question—why did everyone from Bondi to MAGA influencers suddenly go silent? What are they hiding?

Make no mistake: this is about power protecting itself. About Donald Trump and his regime rewriting reality to try to cover up their own lies—or worse, their own crimes. We cannot allow them to get away with this deceit.
