Top FBI official makes chilling claim about Epstein investigation
FBI Confirms the Suicide of Jeffrey Epstein Amid Ongoing Investigations
Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced billionaire accused of sex trafficking minors, took his own life in his federal prison cell while awaiting trial. Since that time, conspiracy theories have emerged, leading to public demands — including from former President Trump — for the Justice Department to disclose grand jury testimony.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino addressed these rumors on Fox News, asserting that surveillance footage verifies Epstein’s suicide. Bongino also disclosed that the FBI is examining tens of thousands of videos related to Epstein’s offenses, including child exploitation, with hundreds of victims identified.
In contrast to common belief, Bongino stated that the FBI did not uncover a “client list” or any evidence suggesting Epstein blackmailed influential individuals. “There was no evidence to warrant investigations into uncharged third parties,” he stressed.
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Bongino informed Trump that his name was mentioned in documents associated with Epstein, but clarified that these files also included child abuse material and would remain classified. Trump, who had a close relationship with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell during the 1980s and ’90s, is not facing any criminal charges.
Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her involvement in Epstein’s crimes, is appealing her conviction. Her attorney, Alan Dershowitz, asserts that she is prepared to testify before Congress in exchange for immunity, referring to her as the “Rosetta Stone” of the case.
Trump responded ambiguously to inquiries regarding a potential pardon for Maxwell, stating, “It’s something I haven’t thought about.”
Bongino suggested that there are deeper revelations to come, stating, “I’ve seen things that shocked me to my core.” While he refrained from providing further details, he assured transparency and lawful investigations, committing to uncover “the truth.”
As investigations progress, many are anticipating additional disclosures concerning the Epstein case and possible government misconduct.
