New information has emerged about Jeffrey Epstein.Upon the release of more "raw" and "enhanced" video footage from the area around the late convicted s** offender's prison cell, Donald Trump's Justice Department and the FBI confirmed Epstein died by suicide in August 2019 and was not killed. In an even bigger bombshell, the agencies claim the disgraced financer did not blackmail any famous figures, as he didn't have a "client list."

In newly unearthed footage of Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell on the night of August 9, 2019, no one entered the area of the Manhattan prison between 10:40 p.m. and when he was discovered deceased at 6:30 a.m. on the morning of August 10, 2019."The FBI enhanced the relevant footage by increasing its contrast, balancing the color and improving its sharpness for greater clarity and viewability," the two-page memo from the agencies noted.
The investigation also found "no incriminating 'client list'" of Epstein's, "no credible evidence that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals" and zero "evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties."
Officials noted how no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related files "would be appropriate or warranted" as it allegedly relates to child s***** abuse.
"Through this review, we found no basis to revisit the disclosure of those materials and will not permit the release of child p**********," they stated.

There has been much speculation about how Jeffrey Epstein died after people on both sides of the political aisle claimed the businessman was killed by people who were on his now-debunked "blacklist."Current FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino were initially skeptical about the manner in which Epstein died. However, both have since recanted their stances.
"He killed himself," Bongino stated during an interview on Fox News in May. "I've seen the whole file."

Rumors also swirled that Donald Trump's name was on Jeffrey Epstein's now-debunked client list. Author Michael Wolff claimed in a 2017 interview that the former teacher was the Republican leader's "closest friend."However, Trump made it clear in 2019 that he was "not a fan of Epstein" and had not "spoken to him for 15 years."
