Rightwing influencers in the US who are often aligned with Donald Trump are angry that a joint justice department and FBI memo has dismissed the existence of a “client list” in the case against late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The disgraced financier killed himself in a jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City in 2019 while awaiting prosecution on child sex-trafficking and conspiracy charges.

Almost ever since, Epstein’s death has been the subject of conspiracy theories on the right, including a supposed “client list” that he purportedly used to blackmail wealthy co-conspirators.

    I absolutely love that this is breaking the minds of some trump supporters. Maybe it will open their eyes to the reality of how bad and corrupt Trump is. But also I give it till the weekend before most if not all fall back in line with whatever theory Fox News, Joe Rogan, or newsmax say to switch the narrative.
