The FBI has reviewed video footage which confirms Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide, ruling out long-running conspiracy theories that he was murdered.
The billionaire financier died in his prison cell on August 10, 2019 while awaiting his trial on sex trafficking charges.
His famed little black book was said to contain the names of a host of celebrities and high powered people who could have been implicated in his crimes.
When Donald Trump returned to the White House, he signed an executive order which vowed to release documents relating to the child sex trafficker.
Attorney General Pam Bondi made good on that promise the following month, releasing what she called ‘phase one’ of the long-anticipated files.
But even MAGA loyalists have been disappointed by the government’s inaction on the Epstein files, sparking unrest about whether the truth will ever be made public.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino made an effort to clear the air on Thursday on Fox News, assuring the public ‘there’s no DNA, there’s no audio, there’s no fingerprints, there’s no suspects, there’s no accomplices.
‘I just want to be crystal clear on this. I am not asking anyone to believe me. I’m telling you what’s there and what isn’t,’ he said.

‘There’s just nobody there. So I say to people, if you have a tip, let us know. But… there is nothing.
‘There’s video clear as day. He’s the only person in there and the only person coming out. You can see it.’
Bongino vowed to release the video to give voters peace of mind over the incident.
‘When you look at the video – and we will release, that’s what’s taken a while on this. We are working on cleaning it up to make sure you have an enhanced [view],’ he said.
‘We’re going to give the original, so you don’t think there were any shenanigans. You’re going to see there’s no one there but him.’
The assertion marked a U-turn for Bongino, who has previously spread his own conspiracy theories about Epstein’s untimely passing.
He alleged on his podcast last year that former President Bill Clinton is ‘knee-deep in this Jeffrey Epstein scandal.’
More recently, in February, Bongino said he was ‘starting to hear some things about the Jeffrey Epstein files.’

The contact list, which has previously circulated in various forms, shows redacted information for dozens of the Hollywood, political and fashion elite and was purportedly compiled by Epstein and his longtime confidante Maxwell. Personal contact information was redacted throughout the list
He claimed at the time, ‘You do not know all the details of this thing, I promise.’
Trump has also shared his own skepticism about Epstein’s cause of death.
He had shared a tweet on his page questioning how the convicted pedophile could have died while on full-time suicide watch.
‘How does that happen…’ the tweet read, before alleging that Epstein ‘had information on Bill Clinton and now he’s dead.’
But FBI Director Kash Patel shot down theories earlier this month, assuring the public that Epstein died by suicide.
Patel then said that everyone has a ‘right to their opinion.’
‘But as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who’s been in that prison system, who has been at the Metropolitan Detention Center, who’s been in segregated housing – You know a suicide when you see one,’ he replied.
Patel’s comments sparked fury from the pedophile’s younger brother, Mark Epstein, who told the Daily Mail that Patel, ‘wasn’t there, he didn’t see the body, he didn’t see the autopsy. [He has] no idea what the f*** he’s talking about.’

Bongino and his superior, FBI Director Kash Patel, sat down with Fox News earlier this month to initially dispel murder rumors

‘It would be a lot easier for me if I thought it was suicide, but there’s a long list of things that point away from it,’ he added.
The public are still waiting on Bondi’s promised ‘phase two’ of the files after the disappointing first tranche was made public.
The contact list, which has previously circulated in various forms, shows redacted information for dozens of the Hollywood, political and fashion elite and was purportedly compiled by Epstein and his longtime confidante Maxwell. Personal contact information was redacted throughout the list.
Names who are in the address book include Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, actor Alec Baldwin, Ethel Kennedy, Andrew Cuomo, Naomi Campbell and Courtney Love.
Both Harvey and Bob Weinstein, the late Senator Ted Kennedy; actor Ralph Fiennes, Alan Dershowitz; John Kerry, Dustin Hoffman, Donald Trump‘s late first wife Ivana and daughter Ivanka Trump are included among the contacts.
The president himself is not listed. There is no suggestion that any person named in his contact book is linked to the atrocious crimes Epstein committed.Meanwhile, any evidence of a ‘client list’ have not yet emerged.
