The U.S. Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation have concluded an exhaustive review of Jeffrey Epstein’s case, finding no evidence of a "client list" or blackmail scheme involving prominent individuals, according to a two-page memo published Monday.

The memo, which details a thorough investigation of Epstein’s files, also reaffirms that Epstein died by suicide on August 10, 2019, at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.

The findings, first obtained by Axios, align with prior conclusions from the city’s chief medical examiner, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan, and the DOJ’s inspector general, supported by video footage from the prison’s common area.

The footage, which has not been independently verified, shows no one entering the tier where Epstein’s cell was located between 10:40 p.m. on August 9 and 6:30 a.m. the next morning.

The FBI enhanced the footage for clarity, the memo states, bolstering the suicide determination.

But here’s where it gets murky. These findings directly contradict earlier statements from Attorney General Pam Bondi, who in February claimed she had Epstein’s "client list" on her desk for review.

The memo’s release has sparked sharp criticism, with some calling it a whitewash.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton, speaking on Steve Bannon’s War Room, didn’t hold back, accusing the Trump administration of shielding the powerful.

"I read the memo three or four times again this morning. I don’t think even the Biden administration would have written anything like this," Fitton said. "I just don’t think they could have thought they could get away with it. And I’ve got to wonder: what is going on at the leadership of the Justice Department and the FBI to allow them to think that statements like the following are acceptable? This is a classic.

"Of course, we’re suing for this stuff, right? And so they say: 'The systematic review revealed no incriminating client list.' So there’s a client list, but it’s not incriminating—so therefore, you can’t see it? 'There is also no credible evidence that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.' Well, give us the incredible evidence. 'We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.' They uncovered evidence, but it wasn’t enough to predicate an investigation? You can go line by line and go through this analysis that I’m going through. It may be unfair or overly critical, but in my view, unless you have the records to back up the conclusions you’ve drawn in a case such as this, this isn’t worth much."

WATCH:

The memo’s release has intensified scrutiny of Bondi’s earlier remarks.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to downplay the discrepancy, stating Bondi was referring to the entirety of Epstein-related paperwork, not a specific list.

"She was saying the entirety of all the paperwork, all of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes," Leavitt told reporters Monday. "That’s what the attorney general was referring to, and I’ll let her speak for that."

Leavitt insisted that the review, conducted at President Trump’s direction, reflects a commitment to transparency.

The memo also notes over 1,000 victims of Epstein’s abuse, emphasizing that protecting sensitive victim information and combating child exploitation remain priorities.

It concludes that further disclosures would be inappropriate, stating, "Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of those ends."

The administration has released raw and enhanced versions of the prison video to support its findings, though public skepticism, particularly among conspiracy theorists, persists.

The consensus: the swamp is protecting its own.

The DOJ and FBI, even under Trump, released a memo that smells like a cover-up from a mile away.

No client list. No blackmail, while Epstein ran with the most powerful people on the planet.

This is why the American people don’t trust the system. They’re fed up with elites dodging accountability while the little guy gets crushed.

Whether this memo closes the book or fuels more questions, one thing is clear: the shadow of Jeffrey Epstein looms large, and the public’s demand for answers isn’t going away.
