Fox News Digital has received a two-page internal memorandum from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI, stating that the deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide. It also clarifies that there is no list of clients linked to Epstein for exploitation by third parties.
The memo includes a statement saying, “This comprehensive review found no incriminating ‘client list.'” Additionally, it asserts that there was no credible evidence supporting the notion that Epstein blackmailed influential individuals. Furthermore, no evidence was discovered to justify an investigation against any uncharged third parties.
Axios first reported on the memo Sunday night.

“As DOJ’s Inspector General explained in 2023, anyone entering or attempting to enter the tier where Epstein’s cell was located from the SHU common area would have been captured by this footage,” according to the memo. “The FBI’s independent review of this footage confirmed that from the time Epstein was locked in his cell at around 10:40 pm on August 9, 2019, until around 6:30 am the next morning, nobody entered any of the tiers in the SHU.”

The powerful and wealthy sexual predator, who was connected to high-level American politicians and British royalty, pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution charges in Florida in 2008.
He was accused of sexual exploitation of over 250 underage girls in his 2019 arrest.
In 2022, Epstein’s partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, was sentenced to 20 years in prison after being convicted of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor.

The DOJ release announcing Maxwell’s sentencing says she procured underage girls for Epstein to sexually exploit. It makes no mention of a broader sex trafficking operation by Epstein himself.
The DOJ did not immediately return follow-up comment requests.
The FBI did not return comment requests.
