FBI: "Epstein Was Not Murdered, He Didn't Blackmail Powerful People, and There Is No Client List"

The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI have said there is no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful people, kept a "client list," or was murdered.

The U.S. administration is set to release both raw and “enhanced” video that it says shows no one entered the area of ​​the Manhattan prison where Epstein was being held the night he died in 2019.

The video, therefore, corroborates the medical examiner's conclusion that Epstein committed suicide. This is what is written in a two-page memo, seen and reported by the agency Axios. It is the first time that the Trump administration has officially contradicted the conspiracy theories about Epstein's activities and his death. And the conclusions contradict those conspiracy theories that have circulated for years and of which the number one of the FBI Kash Patel was one of the supporters.

Just a few days ago On the Epstein case, Patel confirmed the (official) theory of the suicide of the financier-pedophile, while promising to shed light on this controversial case. Patel denied the existence of compromising videos from Epstein's island, but admitted that any evidence could have been destroyed years ago. "I've been here for 100 days, I can't answer for 20 years of failures," he added.

The MAGA base has expressed strong dissent on the matter. Attorney General Pam Bondi , after having made public some files on the Epstein case that contained nothing regarding the relationship between the sexual predator and the Democrats, had promised to publish other documents relating to Epstein and the alleged list of clients of the deceased sexual predator. Yet other files have not been published. Many members of the more right-wing wing of MAGA have thus criticized both Attorney Bondi and Patel, almost as if they wanted to hide specific information. Just like the one related to the alleged murder of Epstein in prison which, according to conspiracy theories, would have been commissioned by the Clinton family to avoid bombshell revelations by Epstein himself.

Then that interview with Patel on Fox News that confirmed, even before the closure of the investigations by the State Department and the FBI, that Epstein's death was truly a suicide.
