Nation First investigates the myriad of unanswered questions relating to the sordid and depraved case of Jeffery Epstein.
On July 6, 2025, in the dead zone of the Fourth of July long weekend, the U.S. Justice Department quietly published a two-page memo that stunned even hardened political observers. In just 735 words, the federal government declared the Jeffrey Epstein case officially closed. No further charges. No client list. No high-profile names to be exposed. No loose ends.
But the facts tell another story. And it’s messier, darker, and far from over.
-
The DOJ quietly ended the Epstein investigation, declaring no further charges, no client list, and confirming his death as suicide.
-
This contradicts evidence of powerful connections, surveillance systems, missing footage, and prior claims of pending disclosures.
-
Epstein’s financial records, blackmail operations, and ties to elites like Leon Black, Jes Staley, and Peter Thiel suggest deeper complicity.
-
Intelligence links and victim lawsuits accuse federal agencies of years-long negligence, suppression, and potential collaboration.
-
Despite claims of closure, hidden evidence, sealed files, and Maxwell’s secret cooperation reveal the case is far from resolved.
WHO WAS JEFFREY EPSTEIN?
Jeffrey Epstein was a billionaire financier, a registered sex offender, and, according to scores of victim testimonies, one of the most prolific sex traffickers in American history. He cultivated connections with presidents, prime ministers, royalty, billionaires, academics, and celebrities. Behind his polished image was a network of properties, staff, and shell companies used to lure, abuse, and traffic underage girls, some as young as 14.
He was arrested in 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking minors. But before his trial could begin, Epstein was found dead in his jail cell in Manhattan. The official cause: suicide. He was 66.
The death sparked an international outcry, with many doubting the official story. Rumors of blackmail, intelligence operations, secret recordings, and elite involvement swirled. For years, the public was promised accountability. We were told the "client list" was coming. That the files would be unsealed. That justice would be done.
Instead, five years later, the case has been abruptly shut down. And what has emerged since suggests not closure, but cover-up.
THE MEMO THAT SAYS: NOTHING TO SEE HERE
It asserts:
-
There is no credible evidence of a “client list.”
-
Epstein acted largely alone.
-
No video evidence of wrongdoing by elites exists.
-
There is “no link” to intelligence agencies.
-
The official cause of death is confirmed as suicide.
This runs directly counter to multiple facts, leaked files, sworn victim statements, financial records, and even earlier public statements from the same officials.
In fact, just months earlier, senior administration sources had confirmed to media outlets that a trove of evidence, referred to as “Phase II,” did exist, including a client list, scanned IDs of Epstein’s guests, surveillance footage, and visitor logs from Little St. James Island. That phase never materialised.
PROMISES MADE, PROMISES BROKEN
Influencers aligned with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement were handed binders labeled “Phase I.” These were heavily redacted. Phase II, promised to include names, intelligence links, and full case files, never came.
Instead, on May 29, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino appeared on Fox & Friends and promised the release of clear video footage showing Epstein’s death.
“There is video, and when you look at the video—and we will release it—you will see no one in there but him,” he said.
But third-party reviewers have already flagged a full one-minute gap in the CCTV footage from 11:59 to 12:00. That missing minute has never been explained. Analysts also reported that other cameras in the jail malfunctioned, and the primary camera aimed at Epstein’s cell door was inexplicably turned off. Back-up drives were reportedly corrupted. Despite government promises, no raw footage has been released for independent review.
If you believe that’s all just coincidence then I have a bridge in Sydney Harbour to sell you.
BLACKMAIL? LEVERAGE? THE PAPER TRAIL SAYS YES
Epstein didn’t operate in a vacuum. He cultivated influence and wielded it with surgical precision.
The idea that Epstein trafficked girls solely for personal gratification has long been debunked by intelligence experts. Instead, they point to the use of kompromat —compromising materials such as photos or videos used to blackmail and manipulate powerful figures. Epstein’s residences were reportedly wired with hidden cameras. Investigators confirmed elaborate surveillance systems in his Manhattan townhouse, with cameras pointed directly at massage tables and bedrooms. Some of the seized tapes were labeled with initials and dates.
THE LEON BLACK EMAILS
THE JES STALEY CONNECTION
Former JPMorgan and Barclays executive Jes Staley was referred to in internal Epstein files as part of “Project Jes,” an attempt to install him as CEO of Barclays. Over 1,200 emails between Epstein and Staley include disturbing content: discussions of young women, trips to Epstein's Caribbean island, and at least one sexual relationship involving an Epstein staffer in a Manhattan townhouse.
JPMorgan Chase has since settled for $290 million with Epstein’s victims. Staley himself faces separate lawsuits.
THE PETER THIEL INVESTMENT
None of that money is expected to go to victims. Instead, it’s slated to be divided between Epstein’s ex-girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak, and his longtime legal advisors.
SPIES, VIDEOS, AND THE INTELLIGENCE ANGLE
It gets darker.
Former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta told Trump transition officials in 2016 that he had been told to back off Epstein’s 2008 case because Epstein “belonged to intelligence.”
Ari Ben-Menashe, a former Israeli intelligence handler, has publicly alleged that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were running a Mossad-connected operation to gather kompromat — blackmail material — on powerful Western figures.
Rudy Giuliani hinted at this again in June, suggesting the full release of Epstein files would risk revealing “top-secret national security operations.”
Yet the DOJ memo claims “no link to intelligence” exists. No explanation is offered for the contradiction.
WHAT THE VICTIMS SAY
Maria Farmer, one of Epstein’s first known accusers, filed a lawsuit in June 2025 against the FBI itself. She says she reported Epstein and Maxwell to federal agents as early as 1996. They did nothing.
Farmer says the FBI had documentation that Epstein was abusing dozens of underage girls at his Florida mansion and other properties. She alleges the Bureau allowed Epstein to operate with impunity for years, a charge backed up by the wrist-slap plea deal he received in 2008.
Her lawsuit goes further: she claims to have supplied the FBI with names, addresses, and phone numbers of underage victims, as well as names of clients, during an in-person interview. According to Farmer, agents showed little interest, and no follow-up occurred. Her allegations, spanning nearly three decades, paint a picture of federal neglect at best, and complicity at worst.
Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, is said to be cooperating with prosecutors in secret. Reports suggest she has offered names and possibly videos in exchange for a sentence reduction. That cooperation is nowhere acknowledged in the DOJ’s memo.
WHERE ARE THE FILES?
Hundreds of gigabytes of electronic data, including videos, photos, emails, and call logs, were seized from Epstein’s properties. None have been publicly catalogued. No hash lists. No filenames. No content summaries.
The so-called “black book,” a 97-page contact list of Epstein associates used during Maxwell’s trial, remains sealed. US Congressional Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is moving to subpoena it through the House Oversight Committee.
EPSTEIN'S ESTATE: WHERE THE MONEY GOES
Most of Epstein’s victims have received settlements ranging from $500,000 to $2 million. But because they signed away the right to sue again, they are now locked out of future payouts.
Meanwhile, the estate still controls over $200 million. Of that, around $170 million comes from Epstein’s investment in Peter Thiel’s venture firm.
That money will go, not to victims, but to Epstein’s ex-lover and his legal team, as outlined in his will, which directs the money to a secretive entity known as “The 1953 Trust.”
FIVE QUESTIONS STILL UNANSWERED
-
Why was there a full one-minute gap in the prison CCTV footage—and why did other cameras malfunction or go dark at the same time?
-
Why did the DOJ refuse to pursue civil forfeiture of Epstein’s remaining assets?
-
Why were Epstein’s ties to foreign intelligence not fully investigated?
-
Why is the FBI sitting on 300 GB of seized digital evidence without releasing metadata or file hashes?
-
If there’s truly “nothing left to investigate,” why is Maxwell still cooperating?
THE FINAL VERDICT?
The Epstein saga is not over.
It has simply been buried.
And every burial leaves behind a grave marker.
Case closed? No. This case is wide open.
Until next time, God bless you, your family and nation.
Take care,
