FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino stated on Thursday that there is no evidence in the Jeffrey Epstein records to suggest that his death was anything other than a suicide.

Bongino provided updates to Fox News host Sean Hannity regarding the investigation into Epstein’s case, as rumors persist that Epstein was murdered while in prison.

“The evidence we have in our files clearly indicates that it was, in fact, a suicide. We do have video. It’s not the greatest video in the world. I don’t want to set expectations on fire,” Bongino said. “However, the video does show in that specific block, that he goes in, made a phone call; you’ll see 12 hours of guards going in basically check on him, come back. You’ll see nobody really comes out of that bay in that area than him. There’s no one in there.

“There’s nothing there in the file at all that indicates anything other than in fact a suicide,” Bongino added.

The American financier died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
