DOJ Closes Epstein Probe, Debunks Client List Claims

A joint FBI and Department of Justice investigation under the Trump administration concluded that Jeffrey Epstein did not keep a 'client list' or blackmail powerful individuals, and found no credible evidence of murder or foul play in his 2019 jail death. The probe, detailed in a memo and supported by hours of prison footage, confirmed Epstein died by suicide, with video showing no one entered his cell area the night he died. The agencies stated no further charges will be filed, with Ghislaine Maxwell remaining the only major figure convicted. The findings directly counter longstanding conspiracy theories and public speculation fueled by figures like Elon Musk and campaign promises by Donald Trump to release a 'client list' that officials state never existed. The DOJ also reiterated that child sexual abuse material related to the victims will not be made public. These conclusions mark the official end to years of public and political debate over Epstein's death and alleged activities.
