WASHINGTON – The Justice Department and the FBI say they have not found evidence that Jeffrey Epstein maintains a “client list.”
A memo detailing the findings of the Department of Justice and the FBI found that a review of Epstein’s material in the U.S. government procession also found no evidence that Epstein was murdered as a part of his actions or in custody.
The memo, first reported by Axios and subsequent ABC News on July 6, comes after supporters of President Donald Trump pushed the administration to release details about Epstein’s peers after Trump during the 2024 presidential election.
When asked in a February interview with Fox News about releasing Epstein’s “client list,” Bondi said, “I’m sitting on my desk right now.”
Department of Justice officials did not respond to USA Today regarding requests for comment.
Despite numerous conspiracies regarding Epstein’s death in a federal prison in New York, the FBI concluded that he died of suicide on August 10, 2019, as originally determined by a New York City medical inspector and past investigation, according to the memo.
That conclusion is also supported by video evidence from the prison forces in which Epstein is housed. According to the memo, the video will be released online, but confirmed that no one has ever entered the tier of Epstein’s residential units until 10:40pm EDT on August 9, 2019 at about 6:30am the following morning.
“One of our top priorities is to combat child exploitation and bring justice to the victims,” says the memo. “Perpetting unfounded theories about Epstein is not of either of those purposes. To do so, we have made public to provide the public with the greatest information about Epstein and to ensure an investigation of evidence of government possession, which is a decision by the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and further disclosure is not appropriate or justified.”
According to the memo, the FBI reviewed over 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence during digital searches of databases, hard drives and network drives. We also conducted physical searches for locked cabinets, desks, closets, and other areas where Epstein survey materials were stored.
The Epstein Files contain a large number of images of Epstein and the victims who appear to be minors or minors, as well as more than 10,000 videos and images of illegal child abuse material and other pornographic information, according to the memo.
“Through this review, no basis was found to revisit the disclosure of these materials. We do not allow the release of child pornography,” the memo says.
This review confirmed the results of a prior study that Epstein hurt more than 1,000 victims. Materials reviewed by the FBI included personal information about the victim, including their name, physical description, place of birth, peers, and employment history.
Musk updates criticism of the new Epstein report
As his relationship broke publicly with Trump last month, Elon Musk claimed in a social media post that Trump’s name was listed in the Epstein file, which is why the private classification document was not released. Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and former White House advisor, later deleted the post.
Musk criticized the Trump administration’s claims in a new report in a series of July 7 posts on X, the social media platform he owns. He posted an image that read “The official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Counter,” set at 0000.
“This is the last straw,” Musk later posted about the Trump administration’s preview pledges to release the “Epstein List.”
Bondi faces pressure from Trump’s Magazine Base to provide great discoveries in the Epstein Files. However, on February 27, Bondi promoted the release of a sensitive government file in Epstein, and then disclosed an approximately 200-page document that had no other involvement in the trajectory of Epstein other than Epstein, who died in federal prison in 2019.
The Trump-appointed Attorney General in April cited a review of “tens of thousands of videos” as the reason for the delay in the release of additional Epstein documents.
