Donald Trump’s Justice Department and the FBI have released a report saying there’s no proof that Jeffrey Epstein kept a list of clients or blackmailed anyone — and that he wasn’t murdered.
The timing is raising eyebrows. The release comes just after Trump was accused of being on Epstein’s rumored list of powerful men linked to the disgraced sex offender.
At the peak of their public feud, Musk posted online suggesting Trump was one of the names tied to Epstein. Trump’s team has now responded with the Justice Department’s own findings — and they’re calling the conspiracy theories baseless.
“President Trump’s Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a ‘client list’ or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.”
The DOJ memo also includes security footage from the night Epstein died in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019. Axios reports: “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.”
That video, according to the memo, lines up with the medical examiner’s conclusion: Epstein died by suicide. “The video supports a medical examiner’s finding that Epstein committed suicide, the two-page memo claims,” Axios reports.
Strangely, the same DOJ under Trump’s first term had previously claimed the camera outside Epstein’s cell had malfunctioned — and that no footage existed from the night he supposedly ‘committed suicide’ in 2019.
What makes this report so striking is that it directly shuts down long-standing rumors that Epstein had a hidden list of elite clients or that he was silenced. Even more shocking: the memo contradicts top FBI officials who once entertained those same theories — before Trump appointed them.
As Axios notes: “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.”
Trump has long denied any serious connection to Epstein, but being publicly called out by Musk forced the issue back into the spotlight. Now, his administration has released this memo in what looks like a direct response, and people are not buying it.
Trump has always downplayed his ties to Epstein, but after Musk dragged his name into the mess, the issue exploded back into public view. Now, his administration has suddenly dropped this memo — and people aren’t buying it.
🇺🇸 DOJ releases 10 hours of surveillance footage, claiming no one entered Epstein’s cell before his death.
Weren’t the cameras supposedly “malfunctioning”?
Now they magically work — years later.
