DOJ Closes Epstein Case Amid Ongoing Skepticism

The FBI and Department of Justice have closed their review of Jeffrey Epstein's case, concluding there is no 'client list' or evidence of a blackmail operation, and reaffirming Epstein's 2019 suicide. A newly released memo and partial surveillance footage, which includes a minute-long gap, have fueled skepticism from conservative commentators, MAGA influencers, and media figures who allege a cover-up possibly involving U.S. and Israeli intelligence. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has retracted her earlier claim of possessing a 'client list,' clarifying it referred only to case paperwork. President Trump has dismissed related questions, criticizing media attention on the matter. Despite the DOJ's findings, public interest and suspicion persist, with debates over the completeness of the investigation and whether Epstein's associates are implicated. The DOJ also reiterated that most of the unreleased case material remains sealed, and no further files will be made public.
