President Donald Trump gave a sharp response to a journalist who asked a question about Jeffrey Epstein during a cabinet meeting at the White House this week.
During the meeting, which took place last Tuesday (8), a journalist asked Attorney General Pam Bondi a question about Epstein, following a memorandum released on Monday (7).
In the memorandum, obtained by Axios, the Department of Justice and the FBI stated that they found no evidence that Epstein was murdered, despite conspiracy theories suggesting the convicted criminal did not commit suicide.
Requesting clarification on certain areas of the memorandum, the reporter asked Bondi: “Your memorandum and release about Jeffrey Epstein left some lingering mysteries.”
“One of the biggest questions is whether he ever worked for an American or foreign intelligence agency… So, could you clarify whether he worked for one and also explain why a minute is missing from the prison footage?” the journalist added.
But before Bondi could respond, Trump said: “Pam, can I interrupt for a second?” The American president then turned to the reporter and added: “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?”
“This guy has been talked about for years… we’ve got Texas, we’ve got this, we’ve got everything… and people are still talking about this guy? This scumbag? This is incredible,” he remarked.
“I can’t believe you’re asking a question about Epstein at a time like this, when we’re having one of the biggest successes and also a tragedy with what happened in Texas.”
When Bondi answered the question, she addressed the points raised by the reporter: “Regarding him being an agent, I have no knowledge of that, but we can reach out to you about it.”
“The video was inconclusive, but the prior evidence was, showing that he committed suicide. There was one minute that was off, and what we’ve learned from the Department of Prisons is that they re-record this video every night,” she continued.
“So, every night the video is reset, and every night that same minute should be missing. So, we’re looking for that video to release it as well, to show that one minute is missing every night. And that’s it [about Epstein].”
