On Sunday evening, the Department of Justice and the FBI unveiled a document asserting that the infamous child abuser Jeffrey Epstein never maintained a “client list” and that his death was a suicide, not a homicide as some might have speculated.
To bolster their claims, the FBI released footage depicting a vacant hallway, which they assert serves as proof of Epstein’s suicide.
The FBI’s memo further states that there is no substantiation for claims that Epstein blackmailed influential political figures.
Moreover, the memo implies that no additional Epstein-related records will be made public.
Accompanying this announcement was a letter issued by the DOJ and FBI, which was released on Sunday night.

This latest turn of events in the Epstein saga astonished many Americans who have been closely monitoring the narrative surrounding this notorious figure who mingled with the elite.
However, this seems to diverge sharply from the narrative presented in court in 2022.
In July 2022, reported on our legal endeavors to unseal the list of Epstein’s sexual clients—individuals with whom Epstein allegedly traded sexual acts involving minors for favors or financial gain.
Remarkably, at that time, no media organization had taken the initiative to petition the court for the unsealing of Epstein’s client identities.
It was as if mainstream media were shielding these alleged sexual predators, possibly due to the implication that Epstein’s clientele included powerful business moguls, politicians, former presidents, prime ministers, and other influential figures.
Back in July 2022, attorneys Marc Randazza and Jay Wolman from the Randazza Legal Group, along with our General Counsel John Burns, filed a motion to intervene in the Guiffre v. Maxwell case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
We sought the court’s permission to unseal all documents identifying Epstein’s sexual clientele.
Our legal team aimed to intervene in Ghislaine Maxwell’s case in New York.
Yet, in August 2022, an astonishing development occurred.
An anonymous John Doe—self-styled as “John Doe”—submitted an objection to our motion to unseal the client list … and, remarkably, the court sided with this John Doe, prioritizing his anonymity over public interest and press freedom in one of the most significant legal cases in American history.
What could possibly motivate John Doe to keep the Epstein client list shrouded in secrecy?
We find ourselves pondering the identity of Mr. John Doe. Who is this individual, and what is his connection to Epstein? What compelled the court to favor this anonymous figure over the public’s right to know? Our efforts to uncover the identity of John Doe and the rationale for the court’s decision were unsuccessful.
This brings us to the present… How can the court have denied our request for the Epstein client list in 2022 based on the objections of an anonymous John Doe while the DOJ now asserts that no such list exists?
Something is decidedly amiss!
