President Donald Trump withdrew a journalist who asked the attorney general Pam Bondi about Jeffrey Epstein after a memorandum published this week did not find evidence that the deceased famous financial financial one maintained a “list of clients” of associates.
Before Bondi could answer, Trump interrupted.
“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” Trump asked. “This type has been discussed for years. You are asking: we have Texas, we have this, we have all things. And people keep talking about this type, this disgusting? That is incredible.”

Trump then asked Bondi: “Do you want to waste your time, do you feel like answering?”
“I mean, I can’t believe you are asking a question about Epstein at a time like this we are having the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. It seems, as a desecration. But you move on,” Trump continued.
