After reviewing files related to the death of Jeffrey Epstein in 2019 a Manhattan prison, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said he believes Epstein did kill himself as the medical examiner ruled at the time.
“I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There’s no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise,” Bongino posted on X.
Speculation has raged for years about Epstein's real cause of death. Conspiracy theorists have said almost since it happened that someone killed him to prevent revelations about who participated with him in the sexual abuse and trafficking of young girls at his compound.
It even became an iconic tagline added to the end of a statement whenever anyone wanted to debunk a talking point: "And Epstein didn't kill himself."
But Bongino seemed pretty sure in his declaration, and director Kash Patel agreed. “I’m not asking you to believe me, or not, " Bongino said. "I’m telling you what exists, and what doesn’t. If new evidence surfaces, I’m happy to reevaluate.”
Theories have run rampant about what happened the night of Epstein's death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center after it was discovered that the guards supposed to be monitoring him on suicide watch failed to do their jobs.
Epstein didn't have a cellmate, and the guards were working overtime and lied on their logs about whether they checked on him when they were supposed to. Cameras also malfunctioned that could have caught his actions.
Apparently, Epstein saw their negligence as a chance to end his life, as he had allegedly wanted to do since being put in the prison.
When no one was looking on that night in August 2019, Epstein allegedly took the bed linens and made a noose, from which he hung himself.
It does sound a bit fantastical, but could it have happened that way? Sure.
Some information has come out about some high-profile people who were involved with Epstein, including Prince Andrew and former President Bill Clinton.
Surprisingly, however, no definitive proof that they had sex with minors has caught on so far, and no charges have succeeded against figures like Clinton and the prince.
The whole Epstein mess has mostly stayed in the shadows, shrouded in questions but without too many definitive answers.
Who knows what other political figures may be desperate to keep their involvement with this disgusting human being under wraps, or what lengths they might have gone to in order to do so?
