Jeffrey Epstein haven’t “kept”Client list«, The Ministry of Justice admitted on Monday, since no files would be published in connection with the examination of the sex trade of the wealthy financer Despite the promise of Attorney General Pam Bondi This had increased the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists.
The recognition that the well -networked Epstein did not have a list of customers who were traded underage girls fox Message interview at the beginning of this year that such a document was “sitting on my desk on my desk”.
Also when it published a video from a New York prison Should definitely prove that Epstein killed itselfIn a memo, the department also said that it refused to reveal other evidence that investigators had collected. Bondi had proposed for weeks that more material would be revealed: “It is a new administration and everything will come out of the public,” she said at one point – after a first document -dump she had annoyed, she had the basis of President Donald Trump due to failure to provide revelations.
This episode, in which right-wing extremist influencers were invited to the White House in February and were marked with binders with “The Epstein files: phase 1” and “released”, which contained documents that were already largely open to the public, caused conservative internet personalities to criticize Bondi sharply.
After the first publication had fallen flat, Bondi said that the officials were through a “truck load” of previously retained evidence that she said of which they were handed over by the FBI. In a television interview in March, she claimed that the Biden administration “was sitting in these documents, nobody did something with them” and added: “Unfortunately, these people don’t believe in transparency, but I think, unfortunately, I believe that many of them do not believe in honesty.”
After a month -long review of the evidence of the government, however, the Ministry of Justice found that no further disclosure would be appropriate or justified “, according to the memo. The department found that a large part of the material was put under the Seehel by a dish to protect the victims, and “only a fraction” would have been “broadcast publicly if Epstein had been put on trial”.
“One of our highest priorities is to combat the exploitation of children and justice for the victims,” says the memo. “Unfounded theories about Epstein do not serve any of these ends.”
The two -sided memo wore the logos of the Ministry of Justice and the FBI, but was not signed by any individual official.
On Monday, conservatives who have applied for a government of the Epstein’s Activities and Death government showed outrage about the position of the department. The right-wing extremist influencer Jack Posobiec stated: “We all said that more would come. These answers were out there and would be made available. Incredible how much this epstein chaos was completely wrong. And it didn’t have to be.”
The conspiracy theorist Alex Jones wrote: “The next step will say that the Doj” actually existed “and called it” exaggerated “. Elon Musk shared a series of photos of a clown that used the make -up that the Bondi mocked that the customer list did not exist after he was on her desk months ago.
The Hubbub customer list started when Bondi was asked in a Fox News interview whether the department would publish such a document.
She replied: “It is just sitting on my desk to check it.”
The press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, and the spokesman for the Ministry of Justice, Chad Gilmartin, said on Monday, Bondi referred to the overall Epstein files.
The proof that the Ministry of Justice will be published and not published on Monday include pictures of Epstein, “Pictures and Videos of Sacher, who are either minors or seem to be minors” and more than 10,000 “downloaded videos and pictures of illegal sex abuse of children and other pornography”.
The memo does not explain when or where the videos were, who and what they were presenting and whether they were found when the investigators were searched for their evidence collection or were known for some time in order to be owned by the government.
The Associated Press published a story last week About unanswered questions related to possible video evidence after Bondi quoted the existence of “tens of thousands” of videos that she said, Epstein showed “with children or children’s porn”.
Several people who took part in the criminal matters of Epstein and participation Socialite former friend Ghislaine Maxwell AP said that they hadn’t seen and not of an abundance of records according to what Bondi had referred to. Charges and imprisonment also do not claim that video recordings exist, and neither Epstein nor Maxwell were charged with the possession of gender abuse material for children, although this would have been easier for prosecutors than to prove the counts of sex trade.
The AP found reference in a submission in a civil lawsuit on the discovery of the Epstein estate of videos and pictures that could make up the material against sexual abuse of children. However, the lawyers involved in this case said that a protective arrangement prevents them from discovering the peculiarities of this evidence, and the judicial department did not respond to a detailed list of questions from the AP -about the videos Bondi.
Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in August 2019, weeks after his arrest for sex trade, in a suicide that excluded the possibility of a process.
The disclosure of the department that Epstein has committed suicide is hardly a revelation, although conspiracy theorists have continued to question this conclusion.
In November 2019, for example, The then General Orney General William Barr told the AP The fact that he had checked security material showed that nobody entered the area in which Epstein housed the night on which he died, and the trust expressed that Epstein’s death was suicide.
In recent times, FBI director Kash Patel and deputy director Dan Bongino In television and podcast interviews insisted that the evidence was clear that Epstein had killed itself.
