FBI denies Jeffrey Epstein had a 'top secret client list' weeks after Trump accused of being on it

WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump’s administration has officially shut down claims that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein had a top-secret client list.

The bombshell memo comes nearly a month after Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed President Trump was tied up in the Epstein mess.

Their feud peaked after a fallout over the GOP's “big, beautiful” bill. That's when Musk accused Trump of being “in the Epstein files.”

DOJ concludes Jeffrey Epstein didn't have a 'client list'

According to Axios, the DOJ and FBI dug into the Epstein case and concluded there’s nothing to prove he was blackmailing the rich and powerful - or that he even had a “client list” to begin with. They also determined that Epstein wasn’t murdered.

“President Trump's Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a 'client list' or was murdered,” Axios reported, citing a detailed memo they got their hands on.

To prove it, the Trump administration dropped surveillance footage from the night Epstein died in that Manhattan jail cell. One version is raw, and the other has been digitally “enhanced” to give viewers a clearer look at what went (or rather didn't) go down.

“The administration is releasing a video — in both raw and 'enhanced' versions — that it says indicates no one entered the area of the Manhattan prison where Epstein was held the night he died in 2019,” Axios reported. “The video supports a medical examiner's finding that Epstein committed suicide, the two-page memo claims.”

This is a big deal because, as Axios notes, “The findings represent the first time Trump's administration has officially contradicted conspiracy theories about Epstein's activities and his death — theories that had been pushed by the FBI's top two officials before Trump appointed them to the bureau.”

Kash Patel and Dan Bongino flip the script on Jeffrey Epstein

If you've been following the Epstein saga, you’ll know that the two guys who are now top dogs at the FBI were completely sold on the "cover up" theories— namely, Kash Patel, who’s now the director, and Dan Bongino, who’s deputy director.

Before getting their badges, they were MAGA activists on social media tossing shade on the “official version” of Epstein’s death.

These days, however, they have done a total 180 to say that Epstein ended his own life. “He killed himself,” Bongino told Fox News in May. “I’ve seen the whole file.”

Still, many on the right remain convinced that Epstein had dirt on the elite, and someone took him out to bury the truth. But the feds are not buying it.

The memo says no one else from the Epstein case will be charged, though Epstein’s infamous right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell is doing 20 years for child sex trafficking and related crimes.

Investigators reportedly reviewed footage from around 10:40 pm on August 9, 2019 (when Epstein was locked in his cell) to 6:30 am the next day (when he was found unresponsive). The administration insists the footage shows nobody entered Epstein’s cell block during that time.

The memo adds, “The FBI enhanced the relevant footage by increasing its contrast, balancing the color, and improving its sharpness for greater clarity and viewability.”

“No incriminating 'client list,’” the memo reads, “No credible evidence ... that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals,” and zero “evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”

Trump and Jeffrey Epstein relationship

Despite the memo, Trump can’t seem to shake the Epstein speculation.

Part of it goes back to their social history. They were seen at some of the same parties in the ‘90s. In a 2017 interview with Michael Wolff, Epstein even bragged that he was “Donald Trump’s closest friend.”

But in 2019, Trump told reporters he was “not a fan of Epstein” and hadn’t “spoken to him for 15 years.” He even barred Epstein from his golf resorts in the early 2000s after an incident where he harassed another member's teenage daughter. Trump has publicly stated that he "kicked him out" of one of his clubs.

After Musk went rogue and publicly accused Trump of being in the Epstein files, Trump hit back by reposting a statement on Truth Social from Epstein’s former lawyer, David Schoen.

Schoen, who also defended Trump in his first impeachment trial, noted that Trump wasn’t implicated in any crime.

Musk eventually deleted his tweets and admitted he “went too far.”
