Roseanne Barr has vocally supported President Donald Trump, but she did not appreciate the recent comments he made about disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Though Trump administration officials previously promised to release more information about the Department of Justice’s Epstein investigation, they recently said there’s no Epstein client list. Then, when questioned about it, Trump suggested that people should just move on and stop talking about Epstein.
On July 8, 2025, a reporter asked Attorney General Pam Bondi about the recent Justice Department memo. Trump tried to shut down the conversation with, “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?”
“This guy’s been talked about for years,” Trump continued. “You’re asking — we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things. And are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable.”
Epstein was a convicted sex offender who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking crimes. Many believe he had an extensive list of wealthy clients and celebrities, often called the “client list.”
Barr took to social media to address Trump’s comments. Clearly not happy about his dismissive attitude, she urged the president to “read the d— room.”
“Mr. President- Yes, we still care about Epstein,” she wrote on X. “Is there a time to not care about child sex trafficking? Read the d— room.”
Mr. President- Yes, we still care about Epstein. Is there a time to not care about child sex trafficking? Read the damn room.

Trump’s comments about how people shouldn’t care about Epstein come after his administration said it would release evidence, including a client list. In February 2025, Fox News host John Roberts asked Bondi about the release of “the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients,” per The Washington Post.
At the time, she said, “It is sitting on my desk right now, to review.”
In June, podcast host Joe Rogan asked FBI Director Kash Patel about the Epstein investigation. “The narrative has always been that there’s video,” the podcast host asked at the time. “Now, where’s the chain of custody? Is there evidence that there’s video? Is there evidence that it was moved around? Stored? Protected from people looking at it?”
Patel assured him that people would “get all that information.” “That’s literally what we’re putting together,” he said at the time. “And we’re going to give you every single thing we have and can.”
