“Pam Bondi invited influencers to the White House and handed them big binders that literally said ‘Epstein Files’ in huge bold letters on the front. If the files never existed then why did the White House do that?” Walsh demanded. In another post, he added: “The Attorney General said she had the client list on her desk. The White House made a big show of giving binders marked ‘Epstein Files: Phase 1’ to a bunch of influencers. Now they tell us that there is no list and we should stop talking about it.”

They were either lying then, or lying now. Or both.

Trump: "They told me there was a list. Everybody said there was a list, and people told me we had it and we were going to release it. But you know what? But you know what? There wasn't any list folks, they lied to me and to you, isn't that awful? Just terrible, unbelievable."
