What is the latest development in the Epstein case? Complete details explored as FBI concludes a suicide and 'no client' list

US President Trump's Justice Department and FBI have found no evidence that notorious deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein kept a "client list" of associates whom he blackmailed or conspired with to target dozens of women into s*xual crimes or was murdered, as per a two-page memo obtained by Axios.

A thorough review, including jail surveillance footage, which the administration is set to release, shows that no one had entered the area of his jail cell between 10:40 p.m. on August 9, 2019, and 6:30 a.m. the next day when he was found unresponsive.

This confirms the official ruling and medical examiner's finding that Epstein died by suicide while in custody in his jail cell in Manhattan in 2019. No foul play had been detected, as per FBI and DOJ review, obtained by Axios.

The ruling contradicts conspiracy theories by Trump's administration about Epstein's activities, and his affiliation with implicated government officials, celebrities, and business leaders.

Social media influencers and activists, Kash Patel, who is now the FBI's director, and Dan Bongino, who's now deputy director, had earlier questioned Epstein's death and had alleged that someone from his affiliates, involved in his alleged sex trafficking ring, had killed the financier to conceal evidence.

According to the FBI and DOJ review, no further charges will be issued against those involved. Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, is currently serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and related offenses.

The DOJ and FBI in the memo also establish that no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."
