Government watchdog confirms Epstein investigation CONTINUES!

Commentator Wayne Allen Root has explained that the controversy over Jeffrey Epstein, his death and his files, are tarnishing the administration of President Donald Trump.

It was announced earlier that Epstein’s death, in a New York jail, was suicide, and that there was no “client list” among his effects, regarding his known activities involving pedophilia and friendships with high-profile personalities such as Bill Gates and Bill Clinton.

That determination provoked a flood of outrage from even Trump supporters, who suspected a cover-up.

Root explained he’s known as “the most fiery and loyal champion, celebrator and defender of President Donald J. Trump- the greatest patriot and President of my lifetime,” and sticking to the “raw truth.”

He warns that Trump needs, now, to “deal with” the statement that there is no Epstein list.

“It looks like a cover-up,” he warned.

But a new report this week confirms that that dispute may not yet be closed.

It is Washington watchdog Judicial Watch that confirms it has filed a joint status report in federal court confirming that “the Justice Department and the FBI continue to search for and review records in response to Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for records regarding Jeffrey Epstein.”

“The lawsuit requests any records on the identities of clients or associates of Epstein.”

The organization explained that disclosure “is at odds with the leaked, unsigned and undated Justice Department/FBI memo that suggests no more Epstein records would be disclosed to the American public.”

It was Judicial Watch that sued the DOJ and FBI in April “after they failed to adequately respond to three separate FOIA requests for records filed in February 2025 concerning Epstein, including a specific request for records ‘depicting the identities of clients or associates of Epstein.’ Epstein document requests were sent to the Justice Department’s Office of Information Policy, the Criminal Division, and two separate requests were sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).”

The status report confirmed that the FBI “has run its initial searches and is in the process of reviewing those search results,” and the FBI’s efforts “are ongoing.”

Further, at this point, the FBI “does not yet have an anticipated number of documents or anticipated dates for release.

The same response from the Executive Office of United States Attorneys was given to the court.

A 200-page report on Epstein was unleashed earlier, but the latest unsigned statement suggests no more is coming.

“The Justice Department and FBI are sending out contradictory messages: telling the American people that no more Epstein material will be released, while telling the federal court in our case that the Epstein FOIA review is proceeding,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “But no matter, our FOIA lawsuit for the Epstein material continues. We will be relentless in demanding transparency under law.”

Root delivered his verdict, after praising Trump for huge accomplishments in a short time for America, “I’m guessing half of Congress was on the Epstein list. Or certainly a lot of prominent Congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle. I think Trump may have made the decision to stop the release of the Epstein list in return for passing the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ – thereby preventing a massive tax increase on the American people – that could have led to an economic collapse. And/or … B) Trump made a moral decision that so many political leaders, business leaders and influential people who run this country were on this list, that releasing it would bring down much more than the Deep State. It would bring down our entire nation and our U.S. economy – leading to a collapse and Great Depression.”

Root said now there is no choice: The list must be released.
