Both the DOJ and the FBI have just released 10 hours of the outside of Jeffrey Epstein’s cell, proving that no one entered the cell around the time he committed suicide.
They also reveal they have no evidence that Epstein had a client list or that he had blackmailed powerful people.
President Trump’s Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a “client list” or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.
The administration is releasing a video — in both raw and “enhanced” versions — that it says indicates no one entered the area of the Manhattan prison where Epstein was held the night he died in 2019.
The video supports a medical examiner’s finding that Epstein died by suicide, the two-page memo claims.
The findings represent the first time Trump’s administration has officially contradicted conspiracy theories about Epstein’s activities and his death — theories that had been pushed by the FBI’s top two officials before Trump appointed them to the bureau.
As social media influencers and activists, Kash Patel (now the FBI’s director) and Dan Bongino (now deputy director) were among those in MAGA world who questioned the official version of how Epstein died.
Patel and Bongino have since said Epstein killed himself. But it has become an article of faith online, especially on the right, that Epstein’s crimes also implicated government officials, celebrities and business leaders — and that someone killed him to conceal them.
The memo says no one else involved in the Epstein case will be charged. (Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and related offenses.)
According to the memo, investigators closely examined footage of Epstein’s Manhattan prison cell between around 10:40pm on Aug. 9, 2019, when Epstein was locked in his cell, and around 6:30am the next day, when he was found unresponsive.
The footage, which was reviewed by Axios but couldn’t be verified independently, showed no one entering the area, the administration said.
“The FBI enhanced the relevant footage by increasing its contrast, balancing the color, and improving its sharpness for greater clarity and viewability,” the memo says.
Investigators found “no incriminating ‘client list’ ” of Epstein’s, “no credible evidence … that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals,” and no “evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,” the memo adds.
The DOJ and FBI say in the memo that no “further disclosure” of Epstein-related material “would be appropriate or warranted.”
The memo says much of the material relates to child sexual abuse, details of Epstein’s victims, and information that would expose innocent individuals to “allegations of wrongdoing.”
“Through this review, we found no basis to revisit the disclosure of those materials and will not permit the release of child pornography,” the memo says.
I remember when AG Pam Bondi claimed to have Epstein’s client list on her desk in February, and now they say there never was one? That’s odd.
But beyond that, I will say that we have the people we trust in power now over the FBI and the DOJ, and if we can’t trust this report, then we can’t trust anything they tell us. That’s the way I see it.
