U.S. Justice Department Concludes No Jeffrey Epstein Client List Found, Reaffirms Suicide

Washington D.C. – The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced on July 7, 2025, the conclusion of their exhaustive review into the case files of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The agencies definitively stated that no "incriminating client list" exists, and reaffirmed that Epstein died by suicide in August 2019 while in federal custody. Furthermore, the DOJ and FBI indicated they have no plans to release additional files related to the case.

The comprehensive review, detailed in a two-page memo, found no credible evidence that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals or that his death was anything other than a suicide. Investigators confirmed previous findings, including the medical examiner's conclusion, and stated that video footage from the Metropolitan Correctional Center supported their assessment that no one entered Epstein's cell area during the critical hours before his death. The memo emphasized that no evidence was uncovered to predicate investigations against uncharged third parties.

This announcement directly contradicts earlier statements made by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who had previously suggested an Epstein "client list" was on her desk for review, fueling public anticipation. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified Bondi's remarks, stating that the Attorney General was referring to the "entirety of all of the paperwork" related to the Epstein case, not a specific list. The administration had faced pressure from some supporters to release more information.

The decision to withhold further disclosures was explained by the DOJ and FBI, citing the presence of "incredibly graphic" material, including child pornography and sensitive victim information. The agencies stated that releasing such content would be inappropriate and unwarranted, and reiterated their commitment to combating child exploitation and bringing justice to victims. They stressed that "perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of those ends."

The findings have drawn criticism from some conservative figures and social media personalities who had anticipated significant revelations. Despite the backlash, the Justice Department and FBI maintain that their review was thorough and aimed at providing maximum information while protecting victims and upholding legal standards. The review also confirmed that Epstein harmed over 1,000 victims, each enduring unique trauma.
