Trump’s New AG Pick Hinted at Releasing Epstein Client List

If past comments are any indication, President-Elect Donald Trump’s selection for attorney general may spearhead the long-anticipated release of Jeffrey Epstein’s client list.
Pam Bondi, who previously served as Florida’s attorney general, voiced her thoughts about the DOJ’s handling of Epstein’s client list during a recent interview with Fox News.
Epstein’s clientele reportedly included individuals in such influential positions that revealing their names could potentially disrupt the political landscape overnight. In 2019, while facing charges for sex trafficking, Epstein was found dead in his prison cell.
The incoming Trump administration is expected to make public the list of visitors to Epstein’s Little Saint James island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. This disclosure has been delayed over the past four years under President Joe Biden’s tenure.
Below is an excerpt from a recent Fox News interview featuring host Sean Hannity:
GERAGOS: “And I’ve had countless clients that have been innocent, and we have proven it.”
Hannity: “What about Bill Clinton? How does he factor into this when we know he’s a liar, we know the issue of Monica Lewinsky? I’ve got to believe that a lot of Americans suspect there might be some truth to this, especially the number of times he was on the plane, which I believe contradicted his public statement, if I recall correctly. Pam?”
GERAGOS: “Well, Sean—”
Hannity: “Hang on, Pam first. Pam?”
BONDI: “Well, we know he was on the plane not only a couple of times but multiple times. He traveled internationally with Jeffrey Epstein, and he was on the plane called the Lolita Express because it supposedly had a bed where Jeffrey Epstein had young girls. He has been a friend of his, a continuing friend, for years and years. Contrast that with Donald Trump, who hasn’t spoken to him in many years—over a decade—after he kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago for bad behavior. So that’s the difference there, and I think Americans see the two-tiered justice system. But, you know, they are saying Clinton has not been to his private island, but he’s traveled all over the world with Jeffrey Epstein.”
Hannity: “Over time, let’s see. If the judge has other information that would add context and texture to the list, I do believe the judge has an obligation to release it, especially because people’s names and reputations are at play here.”
In September 2024, Trump declared he would have “no problem” releasing additional official documents tied to Epstein, including the infamous “client list.”
During a conversation on “The Lex Fridman Podcast,” Trump acknowledged that “a lot of big people” visited Epstein’s private island, where young women and underage girls were reportedly abused. However, Trump maintained that he had never been there.
“I don’t think—I mean, I’m not involved,” the Republican presidential nominee stated when Lex Fridman suggested that he had shown “some hesitation” regarding the release of Epstein-related documents.
“I never went to his island, fortunately, but a lot of people did,” Trump emphasized.
When asked why numerous powerful politicians, business leaders, and members of royal families had connections to Epstein, Trump explained that Epstein was a “good salesman” who “had some nice assets that he’d throw around, like islands.”
“But a lot of big people went to that island. Fortunately, I was not one of them,” Trump reiterated.
“Yeah, it’s very interesting, isn’t it?” Trump said when Fridman called it “very strange” that a comprehensive list of Epstein’s “clients” from Little St. James had not yet been disclosed.
“It probably will be, by the way,” Trump added. “I’d certainly take a look at it.”
“I’d be inclined to do the Epstein,” Trump concluded. “I’d have no problem with it.”
