Bondi says Epstein client list ‘sitting on my desk’ for review

The alleged “client list” of disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is on Attorney General Pam Bondi’s desk, she said in an interview Friday, making the elusive document one step closer to potential public release.

Bondi said she has “not yet” seen any major revelations from the closely guarded document but she’s in the process of reviewing it at President Trump’s direction under an executive order to declassify federal “secrets.”

“It’s sitting on my desk right now to review,” Bondi told Fox News. “That’s been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that.”

Epstein, who hobnobbed with powerful and wealthy individuals, died by suicide in 2019 while in federal custody awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Speculation has festered about potential relationships Epstein cultivated during his decades in elite social circles and any connections to his alleged sex crimes against minors. Epstein owned a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands and several mansions.

A bipartisan congressional panel created through Trump’s executive order has requested time with Bondi to go over documents related to Epstein. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican who has been picked to lead the task force, cheered Bondi’s comments.

“Let’s get this done!” she wrote on the social platform X, alongside popcorn and bulging eyes emoji.

The FBI has released several documents on its investigations into Epstein, but his so-called client list has remained elusive. Trump, who knew Epstein, signed an executive order directing a review of classified records that are of public interest, including Epstein files and documents related to political assassinations.

Bondi said she’s also in the process of reviewing documents related to investigations into the assassinations of former President Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
