Former Attorney General William Barr just dropped a bombshell that’s sure to rile up the progressive crowd.
In a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, August 18, 2025, Barr firmly stated that he saw no evidence of President Donald Trump meddling in or committing any crime related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case or his death.
This testimony is part of a sprawling investigation into Epstein’s controversial case, with Barr being the first of several high-profile figures subpoenaed to shed light on the murky circumstances surrounding the disgraced financier.
Barr didn’t mince words, asserting that Trump never offered any input or direction on Epstein’s criminal proceedings or the events following his death.
He cooperated fully during the session, fielding questions from both Republican and Democratic members with equal candor, showing that truth doesn’t play party favorites.
Let’s be real—Barr’s belief that if damning evidence against Trump existed, the current administration’s Department of Justice would’ve leaked it faster than a sieve holds water is a jab at the politicization of justice that many conservatives have long decried.
Rewind to August 2019, when Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, sparking endless conspiracy theories.
Barr, who personally oversaw the investigation, dispatched top aides to the jail immediately after the incident and reviewed roughly 11 hours of surveillance footage himself.
Initially suspicious about how such a high-profile inmate could die in one of America’s most secure facilities, Barr ultimately concluded it was suicide, chalking it up to what he called “a perfect storm of screw-ups.”
That surveillance footage, according to Barr, showed no one entering Epstein’s area, and he aligned with the medical examiner’s ruling of suicide.
For those on the right who’ve grown weary of endless witch hunts, this feels like a rare moment of clarity in a sea of speculation—though skeptics on the other side will likely keep spinning their tales.
Chairman James Comer shared via social media on August 18, 2025, that “Officials with the Department of Justice have informed us” they’ll start handing over Epstein-related records by Friday, August 22, 2025, which might finally put some of these theories to rest—or ignite new ones.
Barr isn’t the only one in the hot seat; the House Oversight Committee, led by Comer, has subpoenaed a laundry list of former Attorneys General, including Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales.
Even former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert S. Mueller III, along with Hillary and Bill Clinton, are on the list, though Mueller’s subpoena is being withdrawn due to health concerns preventing his testimony.
While the left might cry foul over what they see as a political stunt, many conservatives view this as a long-overdue reckoning for a case that’s haunted the halls of power for far too long, and they’re right to demand answers without fear of being labeled conspiracy theorists.
