The U.S. Justice Department and White House have scrambled this week to explain a significant walkback from promises of potentially explosive information involving accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his alleged clientele.

During his remarks, Trump asked Bondi if she felt like answering the reporter's question. "I don't mind answering," the attorney general replied. When the president finished speaking, Bondi addressed the reporter and cited an interview she did with Fox News in February, which she said had "been getting a lot of attention."

President Trump pushed back during his Cabinet meeting about a question regarding Jeffrey Epstein. The DOJ claims Epstein had no list of clients, which is drawing criticism from some of the president's supporters.
