Overview

  • The Department of Justice and FBI issued a two-page memo concluding Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in 2019 and that no client list existed.
  • President Trump publicly brushed off questions about Epstein at a Cabinet meeting and internal advisers privately labeled the agency’s document release a political nightmare.
  • Right-wing influencers including Laura Loomer and Megyn Kelly have called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to resign over perceived mismanagement of the Epstein files.
  • House Judiciary Committee Democrats led by Rep. Jamie Raskin have demanded disclosure of any Epstein records that mention President Trump.
  • Mark Epstein continues to reject the official findings, arguing his brother was most likely murdered rather than committing suicide.
