Rightwing influencers indignant over FBI claim that Jeffrey Epstein’s client list doesn’t exist (www.theguardian.com)

Rightwing influencers in the US who are often aligned with Donald Trump are angry that a joint justice department and FBI memo has dismissed the existence of a “client list” in the case against late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The disgraced financier killed himself in a jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City in 2019 while awaiting prosecution on child sex-trafficking and conspiracy charges.

Almost ever since, Epstein’s death has been the subject of conspiracy theories on the right, including a supposed “client list” that he purportedly used to blackmail wealthy co-conspirators.

Except it wasn’t his first time being exposed for that, right?

Convicted of state level crimes in Florida, but no federal crimes far as I remember.

Right. It wasn't like him getting locked up was a surprise. And if you're gonna off yourself, there are a lot of less painfull ways to do it (if you still have the opportunity) than hanging.
