Bill Barr claims he never saw ‘anything that would implicate’ Trump in Epstein case
Former Attorney General Bill Barr told Congress that he never saw any information in the Epstein files that would link President Donald Trump to any crimes. The revelation was made by House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) after Barr testified in a closed-door interview during the House Oversight Committee’s investigation of the federal government’s handling of Epstein’s case.
“What Attorney General Barr testified in there was that he never had conversations with President Trump pertaining to a client list,” said Comer. “He didn’t know anything about a client list.”
Moreover, according to Comer, Barr testified that he never had conversations with the president about an Epstein list and was never aware of such a list’s existence. Barr admitted that he “didn’t know anything about a client list.” He also emphasized that if there had been anything alarming about Trump in such files, it would most likely have been leaked by the Biden administration.
“He said that he had never seen anything that would implicate President Trump in any of this, and that he believed, if there had been anything pertaining to President Trump, with respect to the Epstein list, that he felt like the Biden administration would have probably leaked it out,” Comer added. “And I think that’s pretty much conventional wisdom among anyone that’s practical in this.”
Comer also explained some of the objectives of the hearing. He stressed several of the questions surrounding the public’s interest in the Epstein case, including knowing the “truth about Epstein island.”
“People want to know the truth about Epstein island,” Comer said. “They want to know who was involved. Was the government involved? Did the government know about it? And I think Attorney General Barr’s shed a lot of light with respect to his knowledge of it. And hopefully we’ll bring in Merrick Garland and others and find out more.”
BILL BARR ARRIVES FOR OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE INVESTIGATION INTO EPSTEIN

He was the head of the Department of Justice when Epstein was found dead in a New York City jail. He was personally involved in the investigation of Epstein’s death, and stated that he reviewed footage from the night he died, according to Fox News.
There were many rumors and conspiracies surrounding Epstein’s death. However, Barr concluded during his term as attorney general that Epstein died by suicide.
