President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi briefly mentioning Epstein during a cabinet meeting on July 8, 2025.
President Serene Gregg of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 3148 said MCC was functioning with 70 percent of the needed correctional officers, forcing many to work 60-to-70-hour workweeks.[243][247] In previous congressional testimony, Attorney General Barr admitted the BOP was "short" about 4,000 employees. He had lifted the freeze and was recruiting officers to replace those who had departed.[243]
Epstein's attorneys asked Berman to probe the death, alleging they could provide evidence the incident resulting in his death was "far more consistent with assault" than suicide.[230] One week after having signed his final will, it had been reported that at least one camera in the hallway outside Epstein's cell had footage that was unusable, although other usable footage was recorded in the area.[210] Two cameras that malfunctioned in front of Epstein's cell were sent to an FBI lab for examination.[220] Federal prosecutors subpoenaed 20 correctional officers concerning the cause of Epstein's death.[248]
On November 19, federal prosecutors charged MCC guards Michael Thomas and Tova Noel with creating false records, and conspiracy, after video footage obtained by prosecutors revealed that Epstein had, against regulation, been in his cell unchecked for eight hours prior to being found dead.[249][250][251] On May 22, 2021, the guards admitted they falsified records but were spared time behind bars under a deal.[252] As part of a deferred prosecution agreement, on May 25, they plead guilty to falsifying records and conspiracy to defraud the U.S. They were sentenced to six months supervisory release and 100 hours of community service.[253] On December 19, 2023, judge Loretta Preska ordered a list with names of 170 Epstein associates to be unsealed on January 1, 2024.[254] Anyone on the list had until January 1 to appeal to have their name removed.[255][256][257][258][259]

In February 2025, the second Trump administration's attorney general Pam Bondi stated that Epstein's client list was "sitting on my desk" for review, and in June, Elon Musk alleged Trump was in the files. In July, Bondi and FBI head Kash Patel announced there was no list, no evidence Epstein had blackmailed anyone, that Epstein had killed himself, and released footage showing a partial view of a common area and obscured view of the stairs leading to Epstein's cell block—though that footage was not independently verified.[260][261][262][263] A minute was found missing, where the clock jumps from 11:58:58 to 12:00:00.[264][265] An investigation found the video had been modified despite the FBI claim it was raw,[266] and three minutes were cut out of the video.[267] CBS News cited an unnamed official, who said the video had been edited to remove a minute, and an unedited version is in the FBI's possession.[268] On July 15, 2025, Representative Thomas Massie submitted House Resolution 119–581, co-sponsored by Ro Khanna, to force the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.[269][270][271] They announced on August 12 they would bring victims to the Capitol on September 3.[272][273] Massie told ABC's Jonathan Karl:[270][this motion] would force a full release of the files. It has the force of law. It's not a subpoena. It's not a pretty please would you release the files. It's the force of law.. It's emblematic of the promise that President Trump brought with him to the White House, how he energized so many people who had checked out of the political system. He was going to be the guy who holds all the rich and powerful and politically connected people accountable, and that's why there's so much disappointment right now.
On August 25, 2025, the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to Acosta requesting his testimony in the Epstein file. He was not in subpoenas the committee sent in August, which included Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and former attorneys general Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, William Barr, Merrick Garland, Jeff Sessions, and Alberto Gonzales. Acosta testified in October about his plea deal with Epstein, where he defended his decision to pursue a state-level case due to perceived weaknesses in federal evidence, denied knowledge of Epstein's extensive financial crimes, claims that Democrats disputed, highlighting contradictions with later evidence of his office investigating financial aspects and calling his testimony non-credible.[274]
On September 4, James O'Keefe published an exposé on Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt of DOJ Special Operations, in which the latter said that there were "thousands and thousands of pages of files" relating to Epstein and the DOJ would "redact every Republican or conservative person in those files", while also "[leaving] all the liberal, Democratic people in those files".[275][276][277][278] Epstein's brother Mark Epstein alleged the same, stating he had heard from a "good source" that a team in Virginia was "sanitizing" and "scrubbing the files to take Republican names out."[279] On November 12, Adelita Grijalva gave the final 218th signature to Massie's discharge position, forcing the creation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It requires the attorney general to "make publicly available" all files pertaining to the prosecution of Epstein within 30 days, and give the Judiciary Committees an unredacted "list of all government officials and politically exposed persons" named in the files.[280]

Legacy

Graffiti featuring the phrase on an overpass on Interstate 71 in Cincinnati
Epstein's death became the subject of widespread controversy and debate, with the belief that his death was a homicide, including Epstein himself, becoming a popular internet meme and conspiracy theory.[281][282]

Artworks
On July 1, 2020, a statue of Epstein was left outside the City Hall in Albuquerque, New Mexico as a satirical commentary on opposition to the removal of Confederate monuments and memorials.[283][284] A sculpture of Epstein frolicking with Trump titled Best Friends Forever was produced by an anonymous art group aliased "The Secret Handshake" in protest of their relationship. Its September 2025 debut at the National Mall made national news when the United States Park Police assigned with protecting the sculpture dismantled it.[285]

Documentaries
As of October 2019, HBO was creating a limited series on Epstein's life and death to be directed and executive produced by Adam McKay.[286][287] Sony Pictures Television is additionally developing a miniseries based on Epstein's life.[288] The Netflix documentary series Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich premiered in May 2020.[289] The Lifetime documentary Surviving Jeffrey Epstein premiered in August 2020.[290]
