Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed to possess Jeffrey Epstein's "client list," sparking controversy and conspiracy theories. The DOJ and FBI refuted the existence of such a list after an exhaustive investigation. The White House deflected questions about Bondi's claims, referring inquiries back to her.
