US justice department finds no Epstein 'client list'

July 7, 2025

The US Department of Justice and FBI have concluded that Jeffrey Epstein did not possess a client list implicating high-profile associates and confirmed he died by suicide, contradicting popular conspiracy theories. Despite President Trump's campaign promises to release Epstein-related files, some supporters have expressed frustration with the administration's handling of the case, particularly after Attorney General Pam Bondi released previously available documents. A two-page memo from investigators stated they found no evidence of blackmail or grounds to investigate "uncharged third parties," though this conclusion has been met with skepticism from some Trump supporters.

Who is affected

  • Trump supporters and members of the MAGA movement
  • The Trump administration, including Attorney General Pam Bondi
  • FBI Director Kash Patel and deputy Dan Bongino
  • Conservative lawmakers like Anna Paulina Luna
  • The public interested in the Epstein case
  • Potential victims of Epstein's crimes (implied)

What action is being taken

  • The Department of Justice and FBI are concluding their investigation into Epstein's case and releasing their findings
  • Attorney General Bondi is reviewing files related to Epstein's crimes
  • The FBI is reviewing "tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn" according to Bondi
  • The White House is withholding some Epstein-related files due to their "incredibly graphic" nature
  • Attorney General Bondi is accusing federal investigators of withholding thousands of documents related to the case

Why it matters

  • The official conclusions contradict widespread conspiracy theories about Epstein having a client list and being murdered
  • The case involves potential crimes by high-profile individuals and government officials
  • Trump made campaign promises about releasing Epstein files that some supporters expected him to fulfill
  • The handling of the case has created tension between the Trump administration and some of its supporters
  • The conclusions in the memo appear to contradict earlier statements by Attorney General Bondi about an Epstein client list

What's next

  • No explicit next steps stated in the article
