The Trump administration’s promises to release extensive and significant new information related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein appear to be petering out – depriving conspiracy-minded MAGA supporters of the smoking guns they have long sought as they’ve publicly tried to tie influential figures to Epstein’s crimes.

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.

A small but influential cohort of the president’s far-right political coalition spared him their ire but turned with a vengeance on the attorney general and the top officials at the F.B.I.
