Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epsteinblackmailed powerful figures, kept a “client list” or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.
- The administration is releasing a video — in both raw and “enhanced” versions — that it says indicates no one entered the area of the Manhattan prison where Epstein was held the night he died in 2019.
- The video supports a medical examiner’s finding that Epstein died by suicide, the two-page memo claims.
Why it matters: The findings represent the first time Trump’s administration has officially contradicted conspiracy theories about Epstein’s activities and his death — theories that had been pushed by the FBI’s top two officials before Trump appointed them to the bureau.
