U.S. Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Knoxville, held a town hall meeting with constituents who dialed in by phone to hear what he had to say about President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill and other topics.
A caller identified as Caleb from Corryton, Tennessee, asked if it was true that Trump’s name was on a list related to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case.
Burchett said he does not think Trump’s name is on any list related to the Epstein case.
Earlier this month, the Justice Department and FBI said no “client list” or additional evidence related to the Epstein case would be released. That statement contrasted with statements by Attorney General Pam Bondi that the list was sitting on her desk earlier in the year, The Associated Press reported.
“I’m disappointed in Miss Bondi saying that there is a list on her desk, and then the next week, she says there’s no list,” Burchett said.
