The Swamp needs you to imagine—as soon as and for all—that Jeffrey Epstein was nothing greater than a lone-wolf pervert who conveniently “killed himself” in a grimy Manhattan jail cell.

- Epstein definitively died by suicide;
- No “shopper record” exists;
- And there’s “no proof” he ever blackmailed the highly effective.
The memo reads:
As a part of our dedication to transparency, the Division of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have performed an exhaustive evaluate of investigative holdings regarding Jeffrey Epstein. To make sure that the evaluate was thorough, the FBI performed digital searches of its databases, onerous drives, and community drives in addition to bodily searches of squad areas, locked cupboards, desks, elosets, and different areas the place responsive materials could have been saved. These searches uncovered a big quantity of fabric, together with greater than 300 gigabytes of knowledge and bodily proof.
The recordsdata regarding Epstein embrace a big quantity of photographs of Epstein, photographs and movies of victims who’re both minors or seem like minors, and over ten thousand downloaded movies and pictures of unlawful little one intercourse abuse materials and different pornography. Groups of brokers, analysts, attorneys, and privateness and civil liberties consultants combed via the digital and documentary proof with the purpose of offering as a lot data as attainable to the general public whereas concurrently defending victims. A lot of the fabric is topic to court-ordered sealing. Solely a fraction of this materials would have been aired publicly had Epstein gone to trial, because the seal served solely to guard victims and didn’t expose any further third-parties to allegations of unlawful wrongdoing. By means of this evaluate, we discovered no foundation to revisit the disclosure of these supplies and won’t allow the discharge of kid pornography.
This systematic evaluate revealed no incriminating “shopper record.” There was additionally no credible proof discovered that Epstein blackmailed outstanding people as a part of his actions. We didn’t uncover proof that would predicate an investigation towards uncharged third events.
In step with prior disclosures, this evaluate confirmed that Epstein harmed over one thousand victims. Every suffered distinctive trauma. Delicate data relating to those victims is intertwined all through the supplies. This consists of particular particulars akin to sufferer names and likenesses, bodily descriptions, locations of delivery, associates, and employment historical past.
One in every of our highest priorities is combatting little one exploitation and bringing justice to victims. Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of these ends.
To that finish, whereas now we have labored to supply the general public with most data relating to Epstein and ensured examination of any proof within the authorities’s possession, it’s the dedication of the Division of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that no additional disclosure can be applicable or warranted.
After an intensive investigation, FBI investigators concluded that Jeffrey Epstein dedicated suicide in his cell on the Metropolitan Correctional Heart in New York Metropolis on August 10, 2019.
This conclusion is in step with earlier findings, together with the August 19, 2019 post-mortem findings of the New York Metropolis Workplace of the Chief Medical Examiner, the November 2019 place of the U.S. Lawyer’s Workplace for the Southern District of New York in reference to the investigation of federal correctional officers answerable for guarding Epstein, and the June 2023 conclusions of DOJ’s Workplace of the Inspector Normal.
The conclusion that Epstein died by suicide is additional supported by video footage from the widespread space of the Particular Housing Unit (SHU) the place Epstein was housed on the time of his dying. As DOJ’s Inspector Normal defined in 2023, anybody coming into or trying to enter the tier the place Epstein’s cell was situated from the SHU widespread space would have been captured by this footage. The FBI’s impartial evaluate of this footage confirmed that from the time Epstein was locked in his cell at round 10:40 pm on August 9, 2019, till round 6:30 am the following morning, no one entered any of the tiers within the SHU.
Throughout this evaluate, the FBI enhanced the related footage by growing its distinction, balancing the colour, and enhancing its sharpness for larger readability and viewability.

The doc Axios obtained virtually drips with CYA language, assuring readers there’s no “proof” of blackmail.
Keep in mind, that’s the identical FBI whose brokers “misplaced” laptops, shredded notes on the Russia hoax, and nonetheless can’t clarify how the cameras in Epstein’s hall “malfunctioned” on the exact hour he allegedly tied a makeshift noose away from bed sheets the night time after his cellmate was abruptly transferred.
However again in February, Lawyer Normal Pam Bondi instructed FOX and Buddies host Steve Doocy that the record was sitting on her desk and within the strategy of being reviewed.

Lawyer Normal Pam Bondi: It’s sitting on my desk proper now to evaluate. That’s been a directive by President Trump. I’m reviewing that. I’m reviewing the JFK recordsdata, the MLK recordsdata. That’s all within the strategy of being reviewed.
Right here’s Pam Bondi saying the record was on her desk again in March.
