Epstein Died of Suicide, FBI Chiefs Say

FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino confirmed Epstein’s “Murder” in a Manhattan prison in 2019.

According to FBI Director Kash Patel and deputy director Dan Bongino, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died of suicide.

The FBI chief confirmed Epstein’s cause of death in a joint interview with Fox News on Sunday.

Patel said he was convinced that Epstein committed suicide and admitted that others may believe that something suspicious actually happened to him in a New York detention facility in 2019.

“They have a right to their opinions, but as someone who worked as a public defense counsel, as prosecutors in that prison system, people at the Metropolitan Detention Center, in quarantined housing, and you would commit suicide when you see it.

Bongino agreed to Patel’s statement that Epstein had died of suicide.

“He committed suicide… I saw the entire file,” Bongino added during the interview. “He committed suicide.”

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to a state charge of soliciting prostitutes in Florida and procuring minors in prostitution that is part of a plea deal. He was initially sentenced to 18 months, but served in prison for just 13 months and left prison almost every day as part of a job release agreement.

It was found that Epstein died in his cell on August 10, 2019. He was awaiting trial on federal charges allegedly coordinating his longtime partner and British socialite Githraine Maxwell to his sex trafficking ring.

Having owned a large private island and private jet in the Caribbean, Epstein was known to be well connected and socialized with many powerful, wealthy celebrities.

In 2023, the Department of Justice Inspector’s Office (OIG) published a report on custody of the Federal Office of Prisons and the supervision of Epstein. The report’s OIG said his injuries indicate suicide by hanging rather than strangling murder, citing the autopsy of a medical inspector.

OIG ultimately concluded that the staff failed to assign a cellmate the day before his death, providing him with the opportunity to have more linen than normal and kill himself by not monitoring for a long period of time.

The Trump administration has pledged complete transparency in a prominent incident that is interesting to the American people. When President Donald Trump took office for his second term in January, he signed an executive order directing a review of classification records of public interest, including the assassination of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.

Under Trump’s tenure, Attorney General Pam Bondy has long pledged to release the so-called “Epstein Files,” which include flight logs and possible client lists.

“This Justice Department tracks the transparency and Veil’s commitment to transparency regarding the disgusting behavior of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators,” Bondy said in a statement at the time. “The first phase of the files released today will shed light on Epstein’s extensive network and begin to provide long, overdue accountability to the public.”

In February, Bondi declassified and published the first flock of files related to Epstein, as well as sexual exploitation of more than 250 minor girls at their homes in New York, Florida and elsewhere. It included contact details and masseuse lists, both of which were heavily edited. The first phase of these files contained documents that had previously been leaked but never officially released by the federal government.

Separately, Epstein’s longtime partner was found to have been found guilty of sex trafficking and other crimes. In 2022, Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiring to a sexually abused minor over a decade.
