President Trump Releases First Statement On FBI Director Kash Patel Since FBI Declares Epstein Had No Client List

As the WLT Report previously reported, the FBI and DOJ have now claimed that there is “no evidence” that Jeffrey Epstein had a “client list.”

The FBI and DOJ also determined that Epstein was not killed but rather committed suicide.

After the FBI’s declaration, thousands of Americans flocked to X to vent their frustration at FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Take a look:

For the record…

I'm never going to believe a word Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, or Dan Bongino says ever again.

Who else?

Hours after the DOJ and FBI’s Epstein report, President Trump, who has yet to comment on the report, praised Patel and Bongino for their work at the FBI.

Trump stated that Patel and Bongino are cleaning up America’s streets.

Here’s Trump’s full comment:

The FBI, under the direction of Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, is back to the basics: Locking up criminals, and cleaning up America’s streets. We have the Greatest Law Enforcement professionals in the World, but “Politics” and Corrupt Leadership often prevented them from doing their job.

That is no longer the case, and now, they have been unleashed to do their jobs, and they are doing just that. Keep it up — MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!

Notice a name missing?

AG Pam Bondi!

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the FBI and DOJ’s report:

DOOCY: So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on her desk? 

LEAVITT: I think if you go back and look at what the attorney general said 

DOOCY: I've got the quote. She said, it's sitting on my desk right now to review. pic.twitter.com/RtsRuUrNwh

Deadline had more details to share on Leavitt’s comments:

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday 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.

At a press briefing, Fox News‘ Peter Doocy noted to Leavitt that the Justice Department and FBI memo “revealed no incriminating client list.”

“So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said that she had on her desk?” Doocy asked Leavitt.

“Well, I think if you go back and look at what the attorney general said in that interview with your network, on Fox News,” Leavitt said.

“I got the quote,” Doocy said. “[Anchor] John Roberts said, the DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein clients. Will that really happen?’ And [Bondi] said, ‘It’s sitting right now on my desk to review.”

Leavitt responded, “Yes, she was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork, all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein crimes. That’s what the attorney general was referring to.”

Epstein, a prominent New York financier, was a convicted sex offender who died while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

In the memo, first published by Axios, the DOJ and FBI concluded that there was “no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.” The memo said that the review confirmed that Epstein harmed more than 1,000 victims. The review also supported the conclusion that Epstein died by suicide while in incarceration in 2019. The federal authorities also said that “no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted.”

How would you approach this?
