As President Donald Trump’s Justice Department releases a comprehensive memo debunking long-standing conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, confirming that no hidden “client list” ever existed, internal turmoil erupts with aides threatening mass resignations and MAGA supporters directing fierce anger toward Attorney General Pam Bondi, the FBI, and even Trump himself.
The December 28, 2025, DOJ statement, issued amid ongoing file disclosures under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, asserts that exhaustive reviews of over a million documents found no evidence of a blackmail ledger implicating elites in Epstein’s crimes. “The notion of a ‘client list’ is a myth perpetuated by misinformation,” the memo reads, attributing rumors to unverified hearsay and media sensationalism. It echoes earlier 2025 interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell, who denied any such list’s existence.
This revelation, intended to quash speculation, has instead ignited backlash from Trump’s base. On X and Truth Social, MAGA influencers accuse the administration of a cover-up, with hashtags like #EpsteinCoverup and #FireBondi trending. “If there’s no list, why redact names? Trump’s DOJ is protecting the swamp!” posted one prominent account, garnering millions of views.
White House aides, speaking anonymously, warn of a potential exodus, citing frustration over perceived mishandling. “We’re caught in the crossfire—base demands scalps, but facts don’t support conspiracies,” one said. Bondi faces particular ire for overseeing releases critics call “selective,” while FBI Director Kash Patel is lambasted for affirming Epstein’s suicide.
Trump, addressing the uproar at a Florida rally, defended his team: “We’ve released more than anyone—fake news is twisting it!” Yet polls show eroding support among core voters, with some calling for Bondi’s ouster.
As more files loom, this inward fury tests MAGA unity, transforming Epstein scrutiny from external attacks to internal reckoning.
