Epstein Clients Should Panic: Trump's New AG Pick Argued DOJ Should Release Epstein Client List

President-elect Donald Trump has a knack for making bold decisions, and his latest pick for Attorney General is no exception.

When former GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida withdrew his name from consideration for the position, it was unclear whether Trump had another standout candidate ready to step in. It turns out he did.

Enter Pam Bondi, whose record and past statements suggest she could be a game-changer at the Department of Justice—especially regarding high-profile cases like Jeffrey Epstein’s.

In a January interview with Fox News, Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General, shared her thoughts on the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein client list. Epstein, a wealthy New York financier with connections to prominent celebrities and politicians worldwide, faced accusations of trafficking and sexually abusing underage girls. His 2019 death in a prison cell, while awaiting trial, remains a focal point of public intrigue and skepticism.

Epstein’s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, was later convicted of assisting in his crimes. Calls for the release of a list of Epstein’s clients—believed to include individuals who visited his private island, Little Saint James in the U.S. Virgin Islands—have grown louder. Many suspect that key details of illicit activities remain hidden, and legal authorities have yet to release the names tied to these allegations.

Pam Bondi has been vocal about the need for transparency in this case. Responding to the release of unsealed documents related to Epstein earlier this year, Bondi criticized the lack of action by the DOJ.

“I want to know why AG Garland and the Justice Department are so quiet on this tonight,” Bondi remarked during her Fox News appearance. “They’re out there labeling parents domestic terrorists, yet they’re saying nothing about this and these documents were so slow to come out.

“… If people in that report are still fighting to keep their names private … they have no legal basis to do so, unless they’re a child, a victim, or a cooperating defendant,” she added.

Bondi’s perspective is clear: aside from victims and informants, the public deserves full disclosure of who was involved in Epstein’s operations. Her critique reflects a broader frustration with what many see as the Justice Department’s unwillingness to confront powerful individuals potentially implicated in the case.

Critics argue that under President Joe Biden’s leadership, the DOJ has avoided pursuing justice that could expose influential elites connected to Epstein’s crimes. This perceived lack of accountability underscores the need for leadership that isn’t afraid to confront corruption head-on.

Pam Bondi, an outsider with a proven track record, seems poised to bring that fight to Washington, alongside President-elect Trump. For those calling for justice and transparency, her arrival could mark a significant turning point.
