FBI Confirms Jeffrey Epstein’s Suicide Amid Ongoing Investigations
Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced billionaire accused of sex trafficking minors, died by suicide in his federal prison cell while awaiting trial. Since then, conspiracy theories have circulated, prompting calls from the public — and former President Trump — for the Justice Department to release grand jury testimony.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino addressed the rumors on Fox News, stating that surveillance footage confirms Epstein took his own life. Bongino also revealed the FBI is reviewing tens of thousands of videos related to Epstein’s crimes, including child exploitation, with hundreds of victims identified.
Contrary to popular belief, Bongino said the FBI found no “client list” or evidence Epstein blackmailed powerful individuals. “There was no evidence to justify investigations into uncharged third parties,” he emphasized.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Bongino told Trump his name appeared in Epstein-related documents but clarified these files also contained child abuse material and would remain classified. Trump, once close with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in the 1980s and ’90s, faces no criminal charges.
Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Epstein’s crimes, is appealing her conviction. Her attorney, Alan Dershowitz, claims she’s willing to testify before Congress in exchange for immunity, calling her the “Rosetta Stone” of the case.
Trump responded vaguely to questions about a possible pardon for Maxwell, stating, “It’s something I haven’t thought about.”
Bongino hinted at deeper revelations, saying, “I’ve seen things that shocked me to my core.” While he didn’t elaborate, he promised transparency and lawful investigations, pledging to uncover “the truth.”
As investigations continue, many await further disclosures regarding the Epstein case and potential government misconduct.
