Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro has stated that the Epstein-Maxwell case ranks very low on the list of American public priorities, citing polls that place it near zero. Shapiro emphasized that most Americans are not focused on the case or the release of the Epstein client list. This perspective was echoed by sports commentator Stephen A. Smith, who expressed indifference toward the Epstein client list and suggested that the public obsession is puzzling. Shapiro and media personality Megyn Kelly engaged in a heated debate over the Epstein case, during which Shapiro accused Kelly's sources of being complicit in what he described as one of history's greatest cover-ups. Both Shapiro and Kelly agreed that former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi should hold a press conference to disclose all facts related to the Epstein case. Meanwhile, GOP Senator Kevin Cramer from North Dakota remarked that he has not closely followed the case since it was announced that no client list exists, a revelation that did not surprise him. Shapiro also criticized conspiracy theories surrounding the Epstein case, describing them as attempts by theorists to remain relevant.
