Ever since the Trump administration concluded that Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called client list didn’t exist, the MAGA base has been up in arms.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and
Kash Patel have teased the list — which allegedly holds the names of high-profile people who engaged in child sex abuse — so suddenly shrugging it off has led to more theorizing.
Even Elon Musk accused Trump of being on the list during one of his heated social media spats.
But one person who you won’t find irate about the findings is
Stephen A. Smith, who spoke about the lack of findings on NewsNation with Chris Cuomo.

“You’re in an uproar over the Epstein list? That’s all you’ve got? It’s really surprising that this matters,” he says before agreeing with skeptics that there likely is a list being kept under wraps.”
“Of course, I think there’s a list, but I don’t know. I suspect, but I have no knowledge, nor do I care. It’s Friday night, I’m going to enjoy myself,” he continues. “I couldn’t give a damn about the Epstein client list. It has no effect on me whatsoever. I have a life.”
In his typical high-strung ranting style, Smith goes off about people crying on camera and threatening resignation over the situation when there are more important things going on in the country, so he agrees with Trump for downplaying it.
“I don’t blame Trump for one bit to be like, ‘Really, that’s what matters to you?’” Smith said. “I do know this in the grand scheme of things: it ain’t going to affect the lives of over 200 to 300 million Americans. I think we’ll be just fine with not knowing whether there’s really a client list.”
The outrage stems from a July 12 announcement that Trump made, treating Epstein’s case with zero importance, and of course,
shifting blame to the democrats.
“For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden administration.”
He added, “We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and ‘selfish people’ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein.”
He then tried to quell the hysteria again during a White House meeting on July 8, which is also when AG Bondi downplayed a previous comment claiming the list was “sitting on my desk right now.”
