Summary
Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing pressure from all sides to release the Epstein files, receiving major backlash after a memo from the Justice Department and FBI contradicted promises she previously made about releasing Epstein’s list.
She now claims the incriminating "client list does not exist," that Epstein did not blackmail prominent figures, and that he died by suicide.
Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein's brother, says he has no reason to believe his brother took his own life. Instead, he alleges that Jeffrey was murdered and points to the federal government’s lack of transparency as potential evidence of a cover-up.
Metadata analysis suggests the “raw” Jeffrey Epstein prison video from the night of his death may have been modified. While there is no definitive evidence proving the footage was tampered with, growing suspicion surrounds the key minutes missing from the video—fueling even more conspiracy theories, including claims that Epstein may still be alive.
Epstein was first investigated by federal authorities in Florida in 2000, which resulted in a non-prosecution agreement and a guilty plea to state prostitution charges. He was later charged with child sex trafficking in Manhattan in 2019. The government also secured a conviction against Epstein’s co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
