(Worthy News) – The Trump administration’s Department of Justice and FBI have officially concluded there is no evidence that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was murdered, blackmailed powerful elites, or kept a hidden “client list,” according to a two-page memo obtained by Axios. The findings, based on a years-long federal investigation, aim to silence long-standing conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s 2019 death in federal custody.
According to the memo, the FBI conducted a detailed review of surveillance footage from the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan between the night of August 9, 2019, and the morning Epstein was found unresponsive. The footage reportedly shows no unauthorized entry into Epstein’s cell block. The administration plans to release both raw and enhanced versions of the video, which officials say corroborates the medical examiner’s conclusion that Epstein died by suicide.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, once a prominent critic of the official narrative, told Fox News in May, “He killed himself. I’ve seen the whole file.” FBI Director Kash Patel echoed the sentiment, stating that, based on his experience in the prison system, “you know a suicide when you see one.” These statements mark a reversal from the men’s earlier public skepticism of Epstein’s death prior to their appointments by President Trump.
The memo also dismisses the existence of any incriminating “client list” or credible evidence of Epstein blackmailing prominent figures. “There is no basis to predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties,” the report states. The DOJ added that further disclosure of Epstein-related materials would be inappropriate, citing the sensitive nature of the content, including details of child sexual abuse and information that could falsely implicate innocent individuals.
Epstein’s death just 36 days after his arrest sparked nearly a decade of suspicion, largely fueled by his known connections to celebrities, business magnates, and political leaders — including former President Trump. While Trump has denied visiting Epstein’s infamous private island and claimed to have cut ties with him years before his arrest, their past social interactions have drawn scrutiny. In 2017, Epstein reportedly told journalist Michael Wolff that Trump was at one time his “closest friend.”
Amid renewed speculation earlier this year, Trump’s campaign reiterated that the former president had no criminal connection to Epstein. A February document release — which critics said lacked new revelations — included a contact list naming high-profile figures such as Alec Baldwin, Mick Jagger, and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Conservative lawmakers, like Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), criticized the release as incomplete, demanding further transparency.
The DOJ memo confirms that no new charges will be filed in connection to the Epstein case beyond those already brought against his former associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in trafficking underage girls for Epstein and his associates.
With the memo’s release and the planned publication of the surveillance footage, the Trump administration seeks to draw a definitive close to one of the most controversial and conspiratorial criminal investigations in modern American history. Whether the findings will convince the public — especially in online spheres where Epstein theories abound — remains to be seen.
