Overview

• Author Michael Wolff revealed that Jeffrey Epstein sent him a last text reading “Still hanging around” hours before he was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell.
• A joint DOJ and FBI memo issued in early July confirmed Epstein’s 2019 death as suicide and reported no evidence of foul play or a hidden client list.
• Released CCTV footage covers 11 hours of prison corridors but omits a one-minute gap between 11:58:59 pm and midnight, fueling questions about record-keeping.
• Wolff, who first met Epstein in 2014, declined to offer a conclusive theory on his death and said he “doesn’t know” how it occurred despite his personal doubts.
• Trump administration aides, led by communications director Steven Cheung, have denounced Wolff’s account as unreliable while endorsing the official investigation’s conclusions.
