The department even released purported footage as part of its review, which according to officials confirm that Epstein died by suicide. The notorious financier was found dead while in custody in his jail cell in Manhattan in 2019. The confirmation of suicide contradicted conspiracy theories that Epstein may have been murdered.

Attorney General Pam Bondi had previously promised the public release of scores of records associated with federal probes into Epstein.

An Axios report detailed a memo that found no evidence Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a "client list," or was murdered.
