Former Attorney General William Barr Says He Didn't See Trump Implicated In Epstein Files

Source: Huff Post

Aug 18, 2025, 02:09 PM EDT


WASHINGTON — Former Attorney General William Barr told lawmakers on Monday that President Donald Trump isn’t implicated in the government’s investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Barr sat for an hourslong deposition after receiving a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee last month amid a furor over the Trump administration’s refusal to release its files from its investigation of Epstein’s crimes.

“What Attorney General Barr testified in there was that he never had conversations with President Trump pertaining to a client list. He didn’t know anything about a client list,” House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) told reporters outside the deposition room.

High-profile Trump supporters, including top officials in his administration, have previously speculated that the government has a list of Epstein’s clients that hasn’t seen the light of day because powerful people whose names appear on the list have conspired to keep the material hidden.

Barr needs to be indicted for obstruction of justice. He is tr💩mp's Scooter Libby.

Barr co-opted the Mueller report absolving Trump of any connection to Putin and Russian interference in the 2016 election...he was instrumental in sending Michael Cohen to prison, firing the SDNY attorney general, shutting down investigations involving Trump's pals, and punishing Trump's perceived enemies...

Sorry Billy Boy but your Sergeant Schultz defence (I know nothing) is about as credible as Trump claiming he's the most honest guy on the planet...

He's been at it FAR LONGER than that.

Back to the '80s.

But Democrats only had 2 short years of trifectas to back something like that up under Clinton, Obama and Biden.

He probably also didn't see his father implicated in the same manner.

The FBI stated that they did find him in there many times. It's safe to assume the files will never see the light of day, at least not in their unscrubbed version.

Says Barr who claimed the Mueller report exonerated Trump when not only did it no such thing, but Mueller himself criticized Barr's statement. Did Barr explain what he talked to Epstein about when he visited the guy two weeks before he died?

That's an easy one, it's because they stopped being interested in the truth a long time ago.

I just hope (was gonna say hope and pray) but no God to pray to. I give up on that. TSF has everything he needs to take our country away from us. Unless WE all decide to shut down this country.

This appears to be a lawyer tactic. That's how they lie and obstruct. ("They" = R party lawyers and gamers who bend and break the laws.)
It is Barr's specialty.

"List" is the key word in this deceit scheme.

I fully expect a four page letter from Barr saying that Trump and Epstein were never in the same room together, despite your lying eyes.
