House Speaker Mike Johnson is calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to provide full transparency regarding all information held by the Department of Justice on the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — and he's not mincing words.

Speaking to Benny Johnson in an interview released shortly after House Republicans successfully blocked a Democrat-led effort to force the disclosure of Epstein-related documents, Speaker Johnson made it clear that the American people deserve answers.

“It’s a very delicate subject, but you should put everything out there, let the people decide it,” Johnson said. “I’m for transparency.”

Johnson’s remarks follow mounting frustration from conservatives over the DOJ’s long-standing conclusion — reiterated in a leaked memo last week — that Epstein died by suicide and left behind no so-called "client list." That stance, echoed by Bondi’s Justice Department, has stirred unrest among Trump supporters and conservatives who have demanded accountability for years.

In a February interview on Fox News, Bondi made headlines by stating she had Epstein-related documents “sitting on my desk right now,” referencing materials believed to include names of high-profile individuals potentially linked to Epstein’s criminal activities. But earlier this month, during a cabinet meeting, Bondi appeared to walk back her previous comment.

“My response was, it’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed. Meaning the file, along with the JFK and MLK files,” she said. “I never said I had a client list.”

Speaker Johnson now says Bondi owes the public a clear explanation.

“I think she was talking about documents, as I understood, that were on her desk. I don’t know that she was specific about a list or whatever, but she needs to come forward and explain that to everybody,” he said.

President Donald J. Trump, however, has expressed unwavering confidence in his attorney general.

“The attorney general has handled that very well. She’s really done a very good job, and I think that when you look at that, you’ll understand it,” Trump said Tuesday during a press briefing at the White House.

Despite the president’s support, not all of his allies are on board. Sources close to Capitol Hill report that prominent lawmakers and former Trump adviser Elon Musk have expressed outrage behind the scenes over the DOJ’s failure to release the files.

Speaker Johnson acknowledged those frustrations, adding that he is eager to see the Epstein matter resolved so the DOJ can refocus on urgent national priorities.

“We need the DOJ focusing on the major priorities. Let’s get this thing resolved so that they can deal with violent crime and public safety and election integrity and going after ActBlue and the things that the president is most concerned about,” Johnson said.

Adding to the swirl of speculation, David Schoen — the attorney who represented Epstein in the final nine days before his mysterious 2019 death — strongly refuted any suggestion that President Trump was connected to Epstein’s inner circle.

“I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein’s defense as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died. He sought my advice for months before that. I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!” Schoen declared in a June post on X.

Still, MAGA voters are growing increasingly vocal in their demands for truth and accountability. At a recent conservative convention in Florida, longtime Trump supporters expressed frustration with the administration’s stance, insisting the Epstein saga “will not go away.”

As pressure mounts from within the Republican base, the question remains: will the DOJ open the books — or double down on its denials?
