Attorney General Pam Bondi strongly hinted this week a list of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s clients will be released.
During an interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Bondi told conservative host Benny Johnson that President Donald Trump “has given a very strong directive, and that’s going to be followed.”
“Where are we at with the Jeffrey Epstein list, the documents?” Johnson asked Bondi.
“I was briefed on that yesterday. I can’t talk about that that publicly,” Bondi said, before adding that Trump’s directive would be followed.
“A lot of documents,” she added.
Asked by Johnson whether Americans can expect “actual movement on this,” Bondi said: “Donald Trump doesn’t make empty promises. I think promises made, promises kept. And that’s why we’re all there to carry out his directive about making America safe and prosperous.”

Bondi recently shared her opinions about the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein client list in an interview with Fox News.
Epstein had clients in such high positions that their names could potentially topple the political hierarchy overnight. In 2019, while awaiting prosecution for sex trafficking, Epstein passed away in his prison cell.
The list of customers who visited Epstein’s island, Little Saint James, in the U.S. Virgin Islands will eventually be made public by the incoming Trump administration, after being postponed for the previous four years under Joe Biden.
Below is a transcript of a recent interview on Fox News with 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 correctly. Pam?”
GERAGOS: “Well, Sean — “
Hannity: “Hang on, Pam first. Pam?”
BONDI: “Well, we know he was on the plane not only a couple times, multiple times. He traveled internationally, internationally with Jeffrey Epstein, and he was on the plane called the Lolita Express because it supposedly had a bed in there where Jeffrey Epstein had young girls. He has been a friend of his, a continuing friend of his, 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, we don’t 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 said that he would have “no problem” releasing more official files related to Epstein, including the late sex offender’s “client list.”
During an appearance on “The Lex Fridman Podcast,” Trump maintained that “a lot of big people” visited the infamous private island where numerous young women and underage girls were allegedly abused, but that he never went there.
“I don’t think – I mean, I’m not involved,” the Republican nominee for president said when host Lex Fridman suggested that he had shown “some hesitation” about releasing documents related to Epstein.
“I never went to his island, fortunately, but a lot of people did,” Trump continued.
When asked why so many powerful politicians, businesspeople, and members of the royal family have been connected to the multimillionaire pedophile, the former president claimed 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 responded when Fridman described it as “very strange” that a complete list of Epstein’s “clients” that visited his Little St. James island in the Caribbean has not been made public.
“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 said. “I’d have no problem with it.”
