Right-wing conspiracy theorists have raised questions about a new government memo and video about Epstein.
On Tuesday, United States President Donald Trump and US Attorney General Pam Bondi evaded questions from reporters on a recent government review about the accused sex trafficker and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the US Department of Justice (DOJ) concluded that Epstein died by suicide in 2019 in a Manhattan jail cell. However, questions are coming from right-wing conspiracy theorists, many of whom are part of Trump’s MAGA [Make America Great Again] base, who have long posited widely circulated conspiracy claims that Epstein was murdered because he possessed sexually compromising material on powerful figures and a “client list”.
Here is what we know about how the Epstein case is causing a MAGA split.
A memo, released on Monday by the Justice Department and the FBI stated that a government review had found no evidence that Epstein had a specific “secret client list”.
