During an interview with Steve Bannon on War Room, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton unloaded on the Trump Administration for what he described as an outrageous attempt to sweep Jeffrey Epstein’s client list scandal under the rug, suggesting it may be worse than what we’ve seen from the Biden regime.
Fitton, known for his relentless pursuit of government transparency, expressed shock over a recently leaked memo from the DOJ and FBI — one that originated under Trump’s own watch.
The memo, conveniently leaked to Axios, claims there is no incriminating client list, no credible blackmail evidence, and no grounds to investigate uncharged individuals connected to Epstein’s massive sex trafficking operation.
“I read the memo three or four times again this morning. I don’t think even the Biden administration would have written anything like this. I just don’t think they could have thought they could get away with it. And I’ve got to wonder: what is going on at the leadership of the Justice Department and the FBI to allow them to think that statements like the following are acceptable?” Fitton said.
Fitton continued:
“This is a classic. Of course, we’re suing for this stuff, right? And so they say: “The systematic review revealed no incriminating client list.” So there’s a client list, but it’s not incriminating—so therefore, you can’t see it?
There is also no credible evidence that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.” Well, give us the incredible evidence.
We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.” They uncovered evidence, but it wasn’t enough to predicate an investigation?
You can go line by line and go through this analysis that I’m going through. It may be unfair or overly critical, but in my view, unless you have the records to back up the conclusions you’ve drawn in a case such as this, this isn’t worth much.
According to Fitton, this isn’t just another bureaucratic failure—it’s part of a coordinated campaign to protect the powerful, the perverted, and the politically connected.
Fitton also slammed the fact that the memo was leaked to Axios—the same outlet that was previously handed Biden’s videotaped interview about classified documents, even while Judicial Watch was actively suing in federal court for its release.
“It’s disturbing it was leaked to Axios. Second time there’s been a leak to Axios, by the way, by this Justice Department and FBI. Remember, we sued for the Biden videotapes of his interview with her. We were in court—literally in federal court. They’re stonewalling us. And what do they do? They give it to Axios.
Here, they give it to Axios. And this memo, by the way, dripped with contempt for people like you, Bannon, for Judicial Watch, for anyone asking questions. Give us the document.”
WATCH:
FITTON: They say the system “revealed no incriminating client list.” So, there’s a client list but it’s not incriminating, so therefore you can’t see it.

It can be recalled that Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit against President Trump’s Department of Justice for allegedly violating the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by withholding critical records related to Epstein’s clients, associates, and potential government involvement.
The lawsuit, lodged in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on April 8, 2025, alleges the DOJ is unlawfully withholding records that could shed light on Epstein’s shadowy network of elite clients and associates—information the American people deserve to know.
