President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter Tuesday for asking about Monday’s Jeffrey Epstein memo from the Department of Justice … and the video is quite awkward.
Just check it out — 47 is astonished someone would ask about the news from a day earlier … and scolds the reporter for not focusing on the “greatest success” in America, or the tragedy in Texas.

ICYMI … the DOJ announced yesterday there’s no evidence Epstein kept a “client list” of powerful people, or that he was murdered in his jail cell — a theory people have been touting since his 2019 death by suicide.

But remember — this finding contradicts past statements from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi herself, who in February hinted there was some sort of document involving Epstein’s “clients” on her desk for review.
On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tried to downplay Bondi’s insinuation that an incriminating list existed, explaining … “She was saying the entirety of all of the paperwork – all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.”

Bondi did the same to answer the reporter’s question during Tuesday’s press briefing, saying she was never referring to the alleged “client list” as a whole … but to theJFK and MLK assassination files and other documents related to Epstein as well.
She says nothing further involving “disgusting” Epstein was released, because other evidence showed child pornography … and answered the reporter’s other questions with a smile, as you can see.
The public was outraged in February when the White House announced the upcoming release of documents related to the Epstein case … but when the Department of Justice dropped the papers, they mostly contained publicly available information and no bombshell revelations.
But, David Schoen, one of Epstein’s lawyers, tells TMZ he never expected such a list to exist… saying the “idea that he regularly set up the rich and powerful with young girls” is bonkers.
