5 min readIn March 2025, the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi released a memo stating that a systematic review of the Jeffrey Epstein case had uncovered "no incriminating client list" and no evidence to predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties. This was not a quiet bureaucratic finding.
