The fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files is further roiling a Justice Department and FBI that have struggled to appease the demands of far-right conservative personalities.

Moreover, the speculation is that Epstein used the list to extort and blackmail people. Belief in the existence of such a document gained credibility after now-U.S. Attorney General Bondi claimed she had such a list in her possession.

A Department of Justice memo says there is no evidence Epstein kept a "client list" or blackmailed prominent individuals.

Dan Bongino clashed with Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles in a heated meeting about the Epstein memo that found no client list existed.

Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, “is out of control furious,” one source told NBC News. Another said he did not report to work on Friday.

Questions have been raised about the hours of video footage released by the DOJ meant to prove that Epstein died by suicide.
