Former Attorney General William Barr Says He Didn’t See Trump Implicated In Epstein Files

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) related Barr's testimony after he sat for a deposition with lawmakers on Capitol Hill in response to a bipartisan subpoena.
WASHINGTON — Former Attorney General William Barr told lawmakers on Monday that President Donald Trump isn’t implicated in the government’s investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Barr sat for an hourslong deposition after receiving a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee last month amid a furor over the Trump administration’s refusal to release its files from its investigation of Epstein’s crimes.
“What Attorney General Barr testified in there was that he never had conversations with President Trump pertaining to a client list. He didn’t know anything about a client list,” House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) told reporters outside the deposition room.
High-profile Trump supporters, including top officials in his administration, have previously speculated that the government has a list of Epstein’s clients that hasn’t seen the light of day because powerful people whose names appear on the list have conspired to keep the material hidden.
Trump’s current attorney general, Pam Bondi, said earlier this year that she had the client list literally sitting on her desk. In July, however, the Justice Department said there was no client list, no conspiracy to hide incriminating material and no reason to release any further information about the Epstein case.
