Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene raised a question about Ghislaine Maxwell's "little black book" as she expressed doubt about the Trump administration's conclusions on Jeffrey Epstein.

Greene, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, was adding to the MAGA backlash about the Epstein news. Many in the movement view it as a cover-up and are voicing a sense of betrayal, having been promised total transparency about Epstein, a convicted sex offender, by top officials.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI found no credible evidence that the late financier had a client list of high-profile individuals who sexually abused children, or that he blackmailed them.

"No one believes there is not a client list," Greene posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday morning.

The DOJ said Epstein died by suicide while in prison awaiting trial, and was not murdered to keep him quiet, as some people believe.

Greene Raises Question About Maxwell's Contacts Book

Maxwell, a former associate and girlfriend of Epstein's, is in prison for child sex trafficking and other offenses. She sought underage girls for Epstein to abuse.

She kept a book of the well-connected pair's vast network of powerful and famous contacts, but a 2021 court deal kept it secret to avoid needlessly involving the names of unrelated people in the trial.

"What about her little black book?" Greene said in her X post. "The 97-page book, contains the names and contact details of almost 2,000 people including world leaders, celebrities and businessmen."

The MAGA disquiet over the alleged Epstein client list was fueled by a February interview on Fox News with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Bondi, responding to a question about the list, had said it was "sitting on my desk right now to review."

"Sorry but this is unacceptable," conservative activist Robby Starbuck wrote on X. "Was she lying then or is she lying now? We deserve answers."

The White House clarified on Monday that Bondi was referring broadly to the Epstein case files, not a client list specifically.

DOJ Epstein Memo Shares Conclusions

The DOJ released a two-page memo on July 7 stating that no more files related to the Epstein investigation would be made public.

Officials noted that much of the material was placed under seal by a court to protect victims and that "only a fraction" of it "would have been aired publicly had Epstein gone to trial."

After the first document release in February, Bondi said officials were reviewing a "truckload" of previously withheld evidence she said had been handed over by the FBI.

In its memo, the DOJ said its "systematic review revealed no incriminating 'client list.' There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions."

"We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties," the memo continued.

"Consistent with prior disclosures, this review confirmed that Epstein harmed over one thousand victims. Each suffered unique trauma.

"Sensitive information relating to these victims is intertwined throughout the materials. This includes specific details such as victim names and likenesses, physical descriptions, places of birth, associates, and employment history.

"One of our highest priorities is combatting child exploitation and bringing justice to
victims. Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of those ends."
