President Donald Trump's Justice Department scrambled on Tuesday to answer questions after its leadership concluded there was no evidence to support a number of long-held conspiracy theories about the death of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged clientele.

President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to a reporter's question over a Justice Department memo stating there was no evidence of a "client list" related to Jeffrey Epstein. Bondi clarified previous comments she made on Fox News about having files related to Epstein on her desk.

The Justice Department also said in a memo that it was refusing to disclose other evidence investigators had collected.

The Justice Department and FBI says it found no evidence Jeffrey Epstein kept a "client list," contradicting AG Pam Bondi's past suggestions.

The memo comes a month after former Trump ally Elon Musk accused the president of being ‘in the Epstein files’
