White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked on Monday about U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi's February remarks that the Jeffrey Epstein list was "on her desk" amid new reporting that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) concluded there was no evidence of an incriminating client list.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has faced rising backlash, particularly from the right, after walking back her promises about Jeffrey Epstein's "client list."

The Epstein affair had the hallmarks of a conspiracy theory. He was a rich financier with a Jewish surname and powerful acquaintances, including Bill Clinton, a former president, and Prince Andrew, a British royal.
