US President Donald Trump has defended Attorney General Pam Bondi and delivered a caustic rebuke to his MAGA base, who have voiced outrage after the Justice Department said there was no evidence that the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein kept a "client list".
The backlash from far-right influencers against Trump and his allies was swift after the Justice Department confirmed that Epstein's death in August 2019 in federal custody was by suicide, while also saying that it would be publishing no further details from the documents it holds on the Epstein sex trafficking case.
