FBI and DOJ Memo Discredits Epstein Blackmail Allegations and Supports Suicide Conclusion

A newly obtained FBI and DOJ memo, shared exclusively by Axios, refutes claims that Jeffrey Epstein maintained a client list for blackmail and confirms his death as a suicide. The memo, released alongside 11 hours of prison cell footage, indicates no evidence of foul play or external interference in Epstein’s death. It also asserts that no further Epstein-related records will be disclosed.
The findings directly contradict conspiracy theories that had gained traction, particularly within conservative circles, following Epstein’s August 2019 death. The memo aligns with previous reports, including a 2023 Justice Department Inspector General report, which concluded Epstein’s death was a suicide based on forensic evidence and toxicology tests.
The FBI and DOJ have also debunked claims of Epstein’s alleged blackmail activities, stating no evidence exists to support such allegations. The memo’s release marks a significant shift, as prior statements from FBI leadership had fueled speculation and controversy.
These conclusions, backed by extensive evidence, aim to settle long-standing questions about Epstein’s activities and death, while emphasizing the lack of substantiated claims regarding his alleged crimes beyond his conviction for sex offenses.
