New DOJ Memo Exhibits Jeffrey Epstein Had 1000+ Victims

A Justice Division memo printed earlier this week states that Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous pedophile, had “over one thousand” victims—a determine that’s considerably bigger than earlier estimates. In earlier occasions, the federal government claimed that Epstein had “dozens” of victims, and a lawsuit final 12 months claimed there were “hundreds.” The information comes amidst ongoing backlash towards the Trump administration for not releasing extra details about Epstein.

In most of the earlier experiences in regards to the Epstein scandal, authorities have referenced the “dozens” of victims that the billionaire is alleged to have abused. In the meantime, a class-action lawsuit filed final 12 months alleged the predatory financier had “a whole bunch” of victims. Nevertheless, in a just lately released memo concerning the jail footage on the facility the place Epstein was housed previous to his dying, the federal government now claims that Epstein abused “over one thousand victims.” Main shops like NPR famous the quantity of their initial reporting on the memo, although the discrepancy between the brand new determine and the previous estimates was highlighted by impartial journalist Ken Klippenstein, who wrote about it on his Substack. The important thing a part of the memo states:

In line with prior disclosures, this evaluation confirmed that Epstein harmed over one thousand victims. Every suffered distinctive trauma. Delicate data relating to those victims is intertwined all through the supplies.

This data is fascinating because it appears inconsistent with prior disclosures, and enormously expands the scope of Epstein’s crimes with out additional rationalization. The memo doesn’t in any other case present any further details about the a whole bunch of beforehand unknown victims, nor does it clarify how the federal government found this data. As a substitute, the memo merely states that the federal government doesn’t suppose Epstein had any accomplices which might be value pursuing. “We didn’t uncover proof that might predicate an investigation towards uncharged third events,” the doc states. It provides: “Perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of these ends.” Gizmodo reached out to the Justice Division for extra data.

The Epstein recordsdata have develop into one of many Trump administration’s largest complications but. Because the president has didn’t launch extra data, MAGA has develop into more and more aggravated, and influential voices which have lengthy supported Trump have begun to query his inaction. Over the previous few weeks, figures corresponding to Tucker Carlson, Laura Loomer, and Glenn Beck have all criticized the administration over its dealing with of the difficulty. On Thursday, different notable figures like one-time MAGA convert Roseanne Barr and conservative senator Mike Lee questioned the federal government’s disinterest on the topic. On X, previous clips of Joe Rogan’s podcast have circulated that present the podcaster questioning the federal government’s official narrative.

In the meantime, conspiracy mogul Alex Jones (who has expressed help for Trump previously) has been essential of the administration over the matter. “Will the White Home formally fly the flag of Jeffrey Epstein and Mossad?” Jones asked sarcastically on Thursday, sharing a photoshopped image of the White Home painted with the colours of the Israeli flag, a reference to the idea that Israel is behind a cover-up of the case. In a later tweet, Jones wrote: “If God spared President Trump’s life it wasn’t in order that America might become profitable and repair the funds, it was to burn down a system that depends on individuals like Jeffery Epstein. Betrayal of that mission might deliver the wrath of God onto America the likes of which we’ve got by no means seen.” Jones’s present, InfoWars, additionally alleged that the Trump administration was involved in a “coverup” of the Epstein matter.

After all, this all seems very unhealthy for Trump since he was reputed to have been pals with Epstein over a interval of at the very least ten years, and infrequently partied with him, and there are many photos and movies of the 2 hanging out collectively. What’s the president’s subsequent transfer? It’s anyone’s guess, although he’d higher do one thing fast, lest the controversy come to outline his presidency for his crankiest loyalists.
