WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) has voiced strong skepticism regarding the Justice Department’s (DOJ) findings in its investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein case, including the conclusion that no client list existed and the determination that Epstein’s death was a suicide.

“I’m over it. It disgusts me,” Burchett told CNN. “I’m big on clarity and transparency, and that’s a good reason people don’t trust government, either party.” When directly asked if he found the DOJ trustworthy, Burchett replied, “No, I don’t. I think I don’t. I don’t trust them.”

Burchett’s comments follow the release of a joint memo from the DOJ and FBI last week, which stated that Epstein’s death was a suicide and that a client list did not exist. This directly contradicts earlier statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi, who stated a client list was “on my desk” for review earlier this year. Bondi has faced criticism for her handling of the case, with some calling for her resignation due to the apparent discrepancies.

While some conservatives, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), are demanding a full release of the Epstein files and a special counsel investigation, others, like President Trump, have suggested it’s time to move on. This divide highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding the Epstein case and the DOJ’s handling of the investigation, with critics questioning the transparency and thoroughness of the findings.
