Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide and there's no ‘client list,' Justice Department says
After months of touting the impending release of new, blockbuster information on accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, the Justice Department announced in a memo Monday that there is no evidence he kept a 'client list' or was murdered. The Justice Department also does not plan to release any new documents in the matter, it said Monday. The admission reneges on promises from President Donald Trump, who previously spoke about releasing more governmental files on the disgraced financier, as well as go against years of conspiracy theories pushed by the right wing. 'This systematic review revealed no incriminating 'client list,'' the unsigned memo states. 'There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.' Axios was first to report details of the DOJ and FBI's decision. The department has also released 10 hours of jailhouse security footage that shows no one entered Epstein's jail cell on the day he died by suicide. Right-wing media figures have, for years, suggested that the government is hiding secrets relating to Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. Some of those individuals breathlessly pushed the theory that Epstein kept a 'client list' as blackmail against powerful figures who he helped commit similar crimes. After being confirmed as attorney general earlier this year, Pam Bondi quickly embraced those theories, saying in a February interview on Fox News that a client list was 'sitting on my desk right now to review.' She continued, 'that's been a directive by President Trump. I'm reviewing that.' Soon after, in conjunction with the White House, the Justice Department released a series of documents related to the Epstein investigation – almost all of which were already available in the public domain. The administration even invited influencers to get a 'scoop' on the documents at the White House, and photos from the day show those influencers walking out of the White House with white binders labeled 'The Epstein Files: Phase 1.' Bondi promised more information would be coming, and FBI agents – many of whom were assigned to work on national security matters – were ordered to work around the clock in a frantic effort to review documents and other evidence for public release. But soon the department stopped mentioning the release, much to the chagrin of supporters who inundated the DOJ and FBI's social media with demands for new information. FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, both of whom publicly questioned the investigation before being tapped for their roles, even started mentioning in interviews that there was no evidence Epstein was murdered. Bongino in May said the jailhouse video, now posted online, is 'clear as day.' 'Consistent with prior disclosures, this review confirmed that Epstein harmed over one thousand victims,' Monday's memo states. 'Each suffered unique trauma. Sensitive information relating to these victims is intertwined throughout the materials. This includes specific details such as victim names and likenesses, physical descriptions, places of birth, associates, and employment history.' 'One of our highest priorities is combatting child exploitation and bringing justice to victims. Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of those ends,' it adds. 'To that end, while we have labored to provide the public with maximum information regarding Epstein and ensured examination of any evidence in the government's possession, it is the determination of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted.' Reports of the announcement were immediately met with outrage online, most notably from Trump's erstwhile ally Elon Musk, who posted an image of a zeroed-out scoreboard titled 'The Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter.' 'What's the time? Oh look, it's no-one-has-been-arrested-o'clock again,' Musk wrote in the post on X. Six weeks ago, Musk claimed on X that '@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files,' later posting a video of Trump at a party with Epstein with a raised eyebrow emoji. The since-deleted posts were a part of one of Trump and Musk's feuds regarding Trump's recent tax and domestic policy bill. Other right-wing figures blasted the announcement too. One such activist, Jack Posobiec, wrote on X, referring to Epstein's associate convicted of charges related to Epstein's sex-trafficking, 'If there were no clients, why is Ghislaine Maxwell still in jail?' Another, Robby Starbuck, said of Bondi's previous comments on a client list: 'Was she lying then or is she lying now? We deserve answers.' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday stood by the Justice Department's 'exhaustive investigation' of 'all the files related to Epstein's crimes and death.' Pressed on the client list referred to in February's Fox News interview, Leavitt said during a White House press briefing that Bondi was referring to the 'entirety of all of the paperwork' related to Epstein. 'All of the paper in relation to Jeffrey Epstein crimes. That's what the attorney general was referring to. And I'll let her speak for that. But again, when it comes to the FBI and the Department of Justice, they are more than committed to ensuring that bad people are put behind bars,' Leavitt said. DOJ spokesperson Chad Gilmartin also told CNN on Monday that in the Fox News interview, Bondi was referring to all of the paperwork related to the Epstein investigation, such as flight logs, and not to a specific client list. Leavitt said some material was not released because it was 'incredibly graphic and it contained child pornography.' 'This administration wants anyone who has ever committed a crime to be held accountable … and the Trump administration is committed to truth and to transparency,' Leavitt said. 'They committed to an exhaustive investigation,' Leavitt continued, referring to the Justice Department. 'That's what they did, and they provided the results of that. That's transparency.' CNN's Kit Maher and Emma Canan contributed to this report. This story has been updated with additional developments.

A ‘Cain and Abel' crime: Kansas City man charged in connection with brother's murder
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Jackson County Prosecutor's Office has charged a Kansas City man with murder after investigators said he shot and killed his brother over the weekend in Sugar Creek, Missouri. According to prosecutors, Jacob L. Ackerman is facing one count of second-degree murder and one count of armed criminal action after the Saturday shooting. Ackerman has previously been convicted of multiple other crimes, including possession of a controlled substance, burglary, and multiple domestic assault charges. Hunt family mourning loss of 9-year-old cousin in Texas floods At about 9:15 p.m. on Saturday, court documents say officers with the Sugar Creek Police Department were called to the area of 291 Highway and 210 Highway for a welfare check. The person who called law enforcement was a family member of the victim. They told police that they tracked the victim through the 'Life 360' app and saw that he had not moved in about seven hours. The relative then gave law enforcement the location of the victim's phone through the app, leading them to a nearby pond. According to court records, when Sugar Creek officers arrived, they reported seeing a man lying on his back with a gunshot wound to the back of his head. At the scene, police described there being several miscellaneous items around the victim, including shoes, an alcoholic beverage, an electronic vaping cigarette, clothing items and a pocket knife – all of which was collected as evidence. Hours later, at about 3:15 a.m. on Sunday, relatives of the victim contacted officers and said they believed the shooting was a 'Cain and Abel' situation, claiming that Ackerman, the victim's brother, was responsible for his death. Later, relatives contacted police again, reporting that the victim's car, a Mercedes CL2, was in the driveway of Ackerman's home and that he had left and driven to a McDonald's in Kansas City. Kansas City police were called to the fast food chain on reports of a 'disturbance' and asked Ackerman to get out of his car. Ackerman cooperated with law enforcement and exited his van, placing his hands on the back of his head without being asked. While being detained, court documents say the victim's family asked Ackerman why he killed the victim. Police said he simply looked at the family member with a 'blank stare on his face.' Inmate's death at Wyandotte County jail under investigation: KBI After Ackerman was taken into custody, relatives told law enforcement that the suspect's mental health had been declining for a while and that he had been jealous of the victim for most of his life. They also showed police a 'selfie' that the victim had taken in the same spot where he was killed. Court records say Ackerman and a dog were seen in the photo. The relative also told police that they had allowed Ackerman to use their debit card, and after going through bank records, investigators say he had used the card at a Quickway gas station near the area where the victim's body was found. Additionally, surveillance footage from the gas station showed Ackerman and the victim riding in the same car. Court documents say that while being questioned, Ackerman denied an attorney and told police he did not know where his brother was. When told that the situation looked bad, police said Ackerman responded with, 'If it looks bad, then it's bad.' Law enforcement eventually obtained warrants to search his vehicles and his property. Court records say police found the same clothing Ackerman had been wearing in the 'selfie' during the search. While his home was being searched, detectives with the Jackson County Sheriff's Office began interviewing Ackerman. During this interview, court records say he admitted to shooting the victim in the head. Explosion in crowd at Oak Grove fireworks show; City looking for victims Court documents say Ackerman told police he shot the victim because they had gotten into an argument over a girl. When asked about the weapon, Ackerman claimed not to know where he had put the gun he used. However, he later gave officers a handwritten note, admitting that he had hidden the gun in the attic crawl space under the insulation, court records say. At this time, Ackerman is being held in a Jackson County Jail on a $300,000 cash-only bond. His first court appearance was scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Monday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
