DOJ, FBI Close Epstein Case: No Murder, No Client List

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI have officially concluded their investigation into the death of Jeffrey Epstein, dismissing persistent conspiracy theories of murder.

Key Findings:

According to an Axios report citing a memo, investigators found no evidence that Epstein was murdered, nor any indication he possessed a blackmail-worthy "client list." The DOJ confirmed that no further charges will be filed against individuals linked to Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell, his associate, is currently serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking.

Refuting Conspiracy Theories

The investigation refutes claims, including those once echoed by current FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, that Epstein's death was anything other than suicide. While both Patel and Bongino have since acknowledged Epstein's suicide, online conspiracy theories persist, particularly among right-leaning circles. Elon Musk also retracted claims involving former President Trump's alleged involvement with Epstein.

Evidence Supports Suicide Ruling

The DOJ is releasing video footage, enhanced for clarity, showing no one entering Epstein's Manhattan jail cell the night he died in 2019. This supports the medical examiner’s ruling of suicide. The memo also states investigators uncovered no incriminating client list and no credible evidence to suggest Epstein blackmailed prominent figures.
