Did Musk Force Trump’s Hand on Epstein “Files”? Trump’s DOJ and FBI Do 180 Reverse Conclude “Epstein had no client list, died by suicide”

Axios broke a story last night about Trump’s DOJ and FBI who are now concluding that “Epstein had no client list and died by suicide.”

Exclusive: DOJ, FBI conclude Epstein had no “client list,” died by suicide

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, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios.

• 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.
• The video supports a medical examiner’s finding that Epstein died by suicide, the two-page memo claims.

Why it matters: 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.

• As social media influencers and activists, Kash Patel (now the FBI’s director) and Dan Bongino (now deputy director) were among those in MAGA world who questioned the official version of how Epstein died.
• Patel and Bongino have since said Epstein killed himself. But it has become an article of faith online, especially on the right, that Epstein’s crimes also implicated government officials, celebrities and business leaders — and that someone killed him to conceal them.
• The memo says no one else involved in the Epstein case will be charged. (Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and related offenses.) Full article.

Of course as we have been saying all along, the “client list” and “black book” have already been on the Internet for years, even the unredacted version.

Archive.org actually has a copy that is unredacted.

What has NOT been put into the public yet are the alleged “blackmail tapes”.

In Elon Musk’s recent social media war of words with Trump, he stated on X that the reason they have not been released is that it is taking too long to redact them with all the exposure to Trump.

Trump has always been an integral part of starting and funding the Epstein financial network, and others who were his sexual victims have also revealed much already which we have published on Health Impact News, so Musk was not lying. See:

But due to Musk’s popularity and now stating that he is going to start his own political party, I am not surprised at all that they are doing a 180 on releasing anything that allegedly comes from Epstein.

Musk has leverage over them now, but Musk is also heavily leveraged himself, due to his companies and government contracts.

Also, while his name does not appear in Epstein’s “black book”, he and his brother, Kimbal Musk, also have strong ties to Epstein who helped them start Tesla and SpaceX. See: Elon Musk is Latest Billionaire to be Subpoenaed in Jeffrey Epstein Virgin Island Case

What is more surprising is that this administration promised to reveal them in the first place. Now they got caught with their pants down, because they cannot even control those on Trump’s team, which Musk was originally a part of.
