- DOJ and FBI release review confirming Epstein suicide and no further charges — The Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation completed an exhaustive review of investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein, concluding that his August 2019 death was suicide and that no further charges are expected. The review found no credible "client list" or evidence of blackmail involving prominent individuals, and determined investigators "did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties." The DOJ released video footage from the Manhattan Correctional Center showing no unauthorized entry or exit during the time of Epstein's death, and declined to release child sexual abuse material despite prior promises of broader document disclosure.
