- Epstein definitively died by suicide;
- No “consumer record” exists;
- And there may be “no proof” he ever blackmailed the highly effective.
The memo reads:
As a part of our dedication to transparency, the Division of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have performed an exhaustive assessment of investigative holdings referring to Jeffrey Epstein. To make sure that the assessment was thorough, the FBI performed digital searches of its databases, onerous drives, and community drives in addition to bodily searches of squad areas, locked cupboards, desks, elosets, and different areas the place responsive materials could have been saved. These searches uncovered a major quantity of fabric, together with greater than 300 gigabytes of information and bodily proof.
The recordsdata referring to Epstein embrace a big quantity of pictures of Epstein, pictures and movies of victims who’re both minors or look like minors, and over ten thousand downloaded movies and pictures of unlawful little one intercourse abuse materials and different pornography. Groups of brokers, analysts, attorneys, and privateness and civil liberties specialists combed by the digital and documentary proof with the purpose of offering as a lot info as attainable to the general public whereas concurrently defending victims. A lot of the fabric is topic to court-ordered sealing. Solely a fraction of this materials would have been aired publicly had Epstein gone to trial, because the seal served solely to guard victims and didn’t expose any further third-parties to allegations of unlawful wrongdoing. Via this assessment, we discovered no foundation to revisit the disclosure of these supplies and won’t allow the discharge of kid pornography.
This systematic assessment revealed no incriminating “consumer record.” There was additionally no credible proof discovered that Epstein blackmailed outstanding people as a part of his actions. We didn’t uncover proof that might predicate an investigation in opposition to uncharged third events.
According to prior disclosures, this assessment confirmed that Epstein harmed over one thousand victims. Every suffered distinctive trauma. Delicate info relating to those victims is intertwined all through the supplies. This contains particular particulars akin to sufferer names and likenesses, bodily descriptions, locations of delivery, associates, and employment historical past.
Considered one of our highest priorities is combatting little one exploitation and bringing justice to victims. Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of these ends.
To that finish, whereas we now have labored to supply the general public with most info concerning Epstein and ensured examination of any proof within the authorities’s possession, it’s the willpower of the Division of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that no additional disclosure could be applicable or warranted.
After a radical investigation, FBI investigators concluded that Jeffrey Epstein dedicated suicide in his cell on the Metropolitan Correctional Heart in New York Metropolis on August 10, 2019.

The conclusion that Epstein died by suicide is additional supported by video footage from the widespread space of the Particular Housing Unit (SHU) the place Epstein was housed on the time of his dying. As DOJ’s Inspector Basic defined in 2023, anybody getting into or trying to enter the tier the place Epstein’s cell was situated from the SHU widespread space would have been captured by this footage. The FBI’s unbiased assessment of this footage confirmed that from the time Epstein was locked in his cell at round 10:40 pm on August 9, 2019, till round 6:30 am the subsequent morning, no person entered any of the tiers within the SHU.

The doc Axios obtained virtually drips with CYA language, assuring readers there’s no “proof” of blackmail.
Keep in mind, that’s the identical FBI whose brokers “misplaced” laptops, shredded notes on the Russia hoax, and nonetheless can’t clarify how the cameras in Epstein’s hall “malfunctioned” on the exact hour he allegedly tied a makeshift noose off the bed sheets the night time after his cellmate was abruptly transferred.
