Overview

  • The joint memo states investigators found no incriminating “client list,” no credible evidence of blackmail and no grounds to pursue charges against uncharged third parties.
  • It reaffirms that Epstein died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019, dismissing longstanding murder theories.
  • More than 10 hours of raw and enhanced CCTV footage were released to show that no one entered the area of Epstein’s cell during the hours before his death.
  • The exhaustive review, ordered by Trump-appointed leadership, determined that additional disclosures of sealed victim evidence or investigative materials would be inappropriate.
  • Conservative influencers from Elon Musk to Laura Loomer have rejected the conclusions as a cover-up and pressed Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel for more transparency.
