In a shocking plot twist that has set the world ablaze, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI, released a memo that has shattered promises of transparency and accountability, fueling accusations of a deep state cover-up.
The memo, released on July 6th, claims the DOJ and FBI conducted an “exhaustive review” of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s files, uncovering no evidence of a blackmail ring, no “client list” of high-profile predators, and stating Epstein’s 2019 death in his Manhattan jail cell was definitely a suicide. Claims that directly contradict earlier statements from President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
Concurrent with the memo, the DOJ also released 11 hours of “full raw” video surveillance overlooking the common area of the Special Housing Unit where Epstein was held, on the night of his “suicide”. One minute of the video was curiously missing, but when analyzed by WIRED magazine and independent forensic experts the metadata showed it was likely modified.
The memo’s timing raises eyebrows, amid numerous allegations of Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence, as it was released the day prior to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's third visit to the White House this year.
In February of this year, Bondi told Fox News that an Epstein “client list” was “sitting on my desk right now to review” under Trump’s direct orders. She orchestrated an embarrassing White House stunt, handing out “Epstein Files: Phase 1” binders to pro-Trump influencers, only for them to discover those documents were already public.
Kash Patel, before becoming FBI Director, told podcast host Joe Rogan in 2023 that the FBI needed to “put on their big boy pants” and release the names of Epstein’s pedophile associates.
Bongino, a former Secret Service agent turned media star, repeatedly stated on his podcast in 2023 that the Epstein story was “a big deal” and urged his audience to “keep your eye on this.”
Even President Trump who pledged to "release the Epstein files" if elected, promised more Epstein file releases as recently as this April, only to dodge questions this week with an annoyed, “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years.”
Elon Musk, once a Trump ally and donor who campaigned for and with him, reignited tensions by alleging last month that Trump’s name appears in sealed Epstein files, a claim he later walked back but doubled down on after the memo, mocking Bondi’s flip-flop.
It does make sense that the President’s name would actually be in the files, as they moved in the same circles, and Trump told New York magazine in 2002 that he had known Epstein for 15 years and that he was a “terrific guy”. After Epstein’s 2006 arrest Trump distanced himself and said they hadn’t spoken in years.
Taken at Mar A Lago in February of 2000, a photo (above) shows Trump and future wife Melania Knauss next to Prince Andrew with Epstein in the background and Ghislaine Maxwell leaning in from the side. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in facilitating Epstein’s sexual abuse of minors. A woman named Virginia Giuffre claimed in a 2015 lawsuit that she was paid by Epstein, with Maxwell’s involvement, to have sex with Prince Andrew when she was underage, at Maxwell’s London home, at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse, and at his private island. Giuffre “committed suicide” under questionable circumstances in April of this year.
This memo isn’t just a PR disaster, it’s a gut punch to Trump’s base, who expected their heroes to dismantle the deep state, not join it. The Epstein saga appears like the same establishment cover-up Trump vowed to destroy, and the American people deserve answers.
