Over the weekend, a memo leaked from Donald Trump’s Justice Department and FBI effectively said “move on” to anyone who believes that Jeffrey Epstein kept a “list” of compromised individuals the government should investigate and/or that the disgraced financier was murdered. And in response, one very vocal person effectively said, “no!”
In the memo, the administration said it found “no credible evidence” that the convicted sex offender “blackmailed prominent individuals” and no “evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.” The DOJ will also reportedly release hours of footage it said confirms that Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell in 2019, contradicting claims that he was murdered by powerful people who feared he would name names at trial. (The idea that Epstein did not actually kill himself was once suggested by none other than the current president; commenting in a 2020 interview, Trump said, of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, “Her friend or boyfriend was either killed or committed suicide in jail.” Other people who once embraced conspiracy theories concerning Epstein: current FBI director Kash Patel and deputy director Dan Bongino, though they later changed their minds.) As a result of the lack of evidence, the Justice Department and FBI wrote in the joint memo that no one else will be charged. And that is apparently not sitting right with former Trump backer Elon Musk, who took to X to post a series of memes relaying his thoughts on the matter:
