During his remarks, Trump asked Bondi if she felt like answering the reporter's question. "I don't mind answering," the attorney general replied. When the president finished speaking, Bondi addressed the reporter and cited an interview she did with Fox News in February, which she said had "been getting a lot of attention."

The Justice Department acknowledged Monday that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” and no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public.

Bondi said she had no problem answering the reporters questions on whether Epstein worked for a U.S. or Israeli intelligence agency -- Bondi said she would have to look into it -- or why a minute was missing from the 11-hour jailhouse video released by authorities Monday.
