'More explaining to do': MTG says voters 'not going to accept' DOJ's Epstein explanation

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a key supporter of President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, sharply criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI on Wednesday over their memo which stated that disgraced financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein left no “client list” when he died in prison in 2019.

She told the Real America’s Voice network — where her partner is the chief White House correspondent — “I think the Department of Justice and the FBI has more explaining to do — this is Jeffrey Epstein,” adding that “this is the most famous pedophile in modern-day history.”

Greene further emphasized the contrast between the DOJ/FBI’s conclusion and the revelations from Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial.

"Ghislaine Maxwell is actually serving time in prison, and during her court hearings the court ordered, by request of her attorneys, that her little black book be kept private and secret that had over 2,000 names in it of famous celebrities, world leaders, foreign leaders, and very rich businessmen,” she said.

“So we’re not accepting the fact that there is no so‑called client list, or a group of people that may have been blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein, given it was evidence that he had gathered on them with these horrific activities," Greene added.

She continued: “This is the most famous pedophile in modern-day history, and people are absolutely not going to accept just a memo that was written that says there is no client list.”

On Tuesday, Trump rebuked a reporterafter being asked about Epstein, as some within MAGA circles criticize the administration’s outright rejection of conspiracy narratives tied to the disgraced financier.

During a Cabinet meeting Tuesday, a reporter questioned Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding the memo that found “no credible evidence” to support claims that Epstein blackmailed influential individuals. That memo also upheld the conclusion that Epstein died by suicide in custody in 2019.

Trump stepped in before Bondi could respond to the question. “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?" he asked the reporter.

"This guy’s been talked about for years. We have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things… and are people still talking about this guy, this creep? That is unbelievable.”
