DOJ Memo Says No Epstein List, As Trump Hosts Netanyahu For Gaza Ceasefire Talks
July 09, 2025

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI released a memo on July 8, concluding that there is no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals, maintained a "client list," or was murdered, affirming that he died by suicide in 2019 while in federal custody.

The memo includes both raw and "enhanced"  enhanced security footage from Epstein’s prison cell area, which it claims, supports the medical examiner’s determination of suicide and shows no suspicious activity. The findings contradict long-standing public evidence and prior statements made by Attorney General Pam Bondi, who had previously claimed the client list was under review.

The DOJ memo also states that no further charges are expected in connection with Epstein’s case, as no credible evidence was found implicating third parties. Additionally, the DOJ emphasized its commitment to combating child exploitation and bringing justice to victims.

The findings represent the first time the DOJ has sought to officially contradicted 'conspiracy theories' about Epstein's activities and his death. The memo says no one else involved in the Epstein case will be charged.

The memo’s release comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Bondi’s earlier statements and has drawn furious criticisms online especially from Trump's MAGA supporters who decried what they see as DOJ attempt to cover up the Epstein's connections to Israeli intelligence and its blackmail operations.

As journalist Nick Bryant explained in part on the Shawn Ryan Show"Epstein had cameras in all of his homes. Epstein was definitely a blackmail artist.

"The government wants to make sure that that does not come out. A huge part of our political system is predicated on blackmail.

"If that dark, malignant corner of the intelligence that is using blackmail against our politicians and other people, if they were using children, that would make the American people erupt.

"For that dark corner of intelligence, this is Omaha Beach. They're not going to give an inch.

"If you look at all the victims and all the perpetrators and all the procurers involved in the Epstein network ... no one's been indicted except for Ghislaine Maxwell.

"That really shows that our government, unfortunately, wants to stop it there.

"Why is our government aiding, abetting child trafficking unless they're protecting some very powerful people and a political process?

"That's the only way that it makes sense."

Critics also argue that the video released by the DOJ of Epstein's cell is misleading, as it implies that the only avenue to get to his cell was through the common area.

During a Cabinet meeting at the White House Tuesday, President Donald Trump became defensive when questioned about his administration's handling of the Epstein investigation, particularly regarding the client list and the missing minute in surveillance footage from the night of Epstein’s death.

"Are you still talking about - Jeffrey EPSTEIN? ... We have Texas, this, all of the things...are people still talking about this creep? That is UNBELIEVABLE! I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein," Trump said, responding to reporter's questions during the Cabinet meeting. The remarks drew furious reactions by critics online who accused the president of "gaslighting," and treating voters as if they're "stupid."

On her part, Bondi claimed she never meant to say that there was an Epstein list, during a viral appearance on Fox News when the Attorney General claimed that the files were "on my desk," for review before release.

The controversial memo release comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is back to the White House Monday, to discuss a potential Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal. The pair and Vice President JD Vance reportedly met again Tuesday, in the Oval Office for 90 minutes. This meeting occurred amid broader diplomatic efforts to resolve the ongoing conflict in the region. Qatari delegation also reportedly met with top officials in the White House Tuesday.

"To be clear: I am NOT calling for violence. I'm just saying, historically, any gov that would cover up for a sex trafficking ring of minors to the rich and powerful, would be justifiably overthrown by any means necessary," furious prominent Trump supporter and podcaster Clint Russell wrote on X. "Epstein worked for Mossad. FYI. That's why they are lying."

U.S. Military Contractor Recounts Harrowing Story Of Palestinian Child Killed By IDF Soldiers

Anthony Aguilar, a retired U.S. special forces veteran, recounted a harrowing incident in which a Palestinian child named Amir was shot dead by Israeli forces at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) aid distribution site in May.

Aguilar described how Amir, a 5-year-old boy who had walked 12 kilometers barefoot to receive aid, thanked him for the food he received before being shot by Israel Defense Forces(IDF) soldiers.

“On May 28, at secure distribution site #2, this young boy, Amir, walks over to me, reaches out & kisses my hand," Aguilar recalled. "This boy is not wearing shoes. His clothes are falling off of him because he is so skinny….He doesn’t have a box, he has half a bag of rice, lentils, and he was thanking us.

"He walked 12 kilometers to get there … and when he got there he thanked us for the crumbs he got … and he set them on the ground and his frail, skeletal, emaciated hands, and he kissed me and said 'thank you.'

"And then he collected his items, walked back to the group, and then he was shot at with pepper spray, and tear gas, and stunt grenades, and bullets, and he was shot at, at his feet and in the air, and he runs away...and the IDF were shooting at the crowd … they are shooting … and they are shooting into this crowd and Palestinians, civilians, human beings, are dropping to the ground, and Amir was one of them... Amir walked 12 kilometers to get food, got nothing but scraps, thanked us for it, and died."

GHF is backed by Israel as an alternative to United Nations groups in providing aid to Gaza. The organization has faced criticisms because of IDF's indiscriminate shooting into crowds, which they claim is a crowd-control measure.

Gunman Who Killed 5 At Midtown Manhattan Office Building, Targeted NFL Over CTE Concerns: Suicide Note

A Security video shows Shane Tamura, 27, exiting a BMW and carrying a rifle as he enters the Park Avenue skyscraper that is home to Blackstone and the NFL headquarters.

The gunman entered the lobby of the office building in midtown Manhattan with an M4 assault rifle, and immediately opened fire, striking several people, including a police officer who was taking cover behind a desk, New York Police department(NYPD) said Monday.

The gunman, then waited for an elevator and allowed a woman to exit unharmed before going to the 33rd floor, where he then shot and killed another person before shooting himself, police said. Tamura, who was licensed to carry a concealed weapon in the state of Nevada, killed four people and wounded another.

Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch confirmed in a press conference late Monday that there is no longer an active threat to the public. NYPD believe that the now deceased gunman acted alone. 

Speaking to Fox 5 New York, New York City Mayor Eric Adams revealed Tuesday that gunman Tamura appeared to take the wrong elevator bank inside 345 Park Avenue Monday when he carried out his attack. "It appears as though he was going after the employees at the NFL."

The mayor said there were two elevator banks inside the building and Tamura “appeared to have gone to the wrong bank and he ended up on the floor of Rudin Management.

“And you see on the video that he discharged the weapon several times and we must commend Rudin Management for the safety precautions that they have put in place, even a safe bathroom where you can lock it down with a bulletproof door. Some of the staffers used that,” Adams continued. 

“It’s unfortunate that during these days and times, active shooter drills are taking place all across the country and Rudin Management did their job of clearly having those active shooter drills and the staffers who were in the building were able to utilize some of the safe rooms and I believe it played a great role in saving lives of some of the staffers,” the mayor added.

“It was after 6 p.m. and so many people were no longer in the office, but he appeared to have gone to the wrong floor and due to the wrong elevator bank where you can see on the front desk, which elevator bank was the NFL. But he did not go to that bank,” Adams also said.

The motive for the shooting remains unclear, but Tamura reportedly had a grievance with the NFL, blaming the sport of football for apparent issues with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a side effect from repeated hits to the head.

Tamura apparently cited the NFL in a suicide note left near his body on 33rd floor of the building after he died.

Tamura was high school football player at Granada Hills Charter in Granada Hills, California, which is about 25 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

The NFL’s headquarters were located in the same building where Tamura had killed five people and left several others injured. The league’s officers are on the fifth floor.

The New York City Medical Examiner’s Office told Fox News that it’s investigating the death of gunman Shane Tamura and will study his brain as part of the standard autopsy procedure.

The people killed in the shooting include NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner, security guard Aland Etienne and Julia Hyman, an associate at Rudin Management.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell praised NYPD Officer Didarul Islam in a memo to employees who were at the building where a crazed gunman killed four and injured others in a shooting.

Goodell said in the memo that one NFL employee was "seriously injured" but in stable condition. He mentioned Islam and thanked him for sacrificing his life to save others.

"We are deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers who responded to this threat quickly and decisively and to Officer Islam, who gave his life to protect others," the memo read.

Financial firm Blackstone identified LePatner as the executive who was killed in the Monday night’s shooting.

LePatner, a senior managing director, was Blackstone’s Global Head of Core+ Real Estate and the Chief Executive Officer of the Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust.

“We are heartbroken to share that our colleague, Wesley LePatner, was among those who lost their lives in the tragic incident at 345 Park Avenue. Words cannot express the devastation we feel,” the company said in part in a statement.

Aland Etienne was identified as one of the four victims.

The Service Employees International Union, Local 32BJ, described Etienne as “a dedicated security officer who took his job duties extremely seriously.”

“We are devastated to hear the reports of the shooting at 345 Park Avenue. We extend our deep condolences to the families and friends who lost loved ones tonight, including that of our own 32BJ SEIU security member Aland Etienne," the union’s president Manny Pastreich said in part in a statement.

Julia Hyman, a 2020 Cornell University graduate who worked for Rudin Management, was identified as another one of the victims of the New York City shooting. She was an associate with the real estate company, according to a LinkedIn profile purportedly belonging to her.

“The Rudin family and everyone at our company are devastated by yesterday's senseless tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with those injured and lost last night, including our cherished Rudin colleague, a brave New York City police officer, a beloved lobby security guard and an employee at a tenant firm," the Rudin family said in a statement.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he has been “briefed on the tragic shooting that took place in Manhattan, a place that I know and love."

“I trust our Law Enforcement Agencies to get to the bottom of why this crazed lunatic committed such a senseless act of violence,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “My heart is with the families of the four people who were killed, including the NYPD Officer, who made the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless the New York Police Department, and God Bless New York!”

=================

Six people are dead, including a police officer, when a gunman unleashed a barrage of gunfire carrying an M4 rifle, at a midtown Manhattan office building that is home to the Blackstone investment firm and the headquarters for the NFL, according to New York Police Department(NYPD).

The shooter Shane Tamura of Las Vegas, was neutralized as more information is being learned about him.

Tamura reportedly drove across the country to New York City from Las Vegas, authorities said Monday. He traveled through Colorado on July 26, and through Nebraska and Iowa the next day, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said during a Monday night news conference.

Tamura's vehicle was then seen in Columbia, New Jersey as recently as 4:24 p.m. Monday, not long before he would unleash a barrage of gunfire in New York, police said.

Employees working on the 33rd floor of the Blackstone building barricaded themselves inside their office as the gunman opened fire inside.

Pictures from inside the office show couches stacked up at the entryway in an effort to prevent anyone from entering. In another picture, employees were seen adding even more pieces of furniture to the stack.

The NYPD Officer killed has been identified as Didarul Islam, 36, a Bangladeshi immigrant. His wife is eight-months pregnant, and the couple has two sons.

Trump Warns Of Starvation In Gaza; Threatens Russia Sanctions; Says Epstein Media Obsession Is A Hoax; As The U.S. President Meets With UK PM Starmer

President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer addressed several key issues during their meeting at his golf club in Turnberry in Scotland, including the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, a shortened deadline for Russia to end the war in Ukraine, and the ongoing fallout surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump emphasized the urgency of addressing starvation in Gaza, set a new 10 to 12-day deadline for Russia to reach a ceasefire, and denied any involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Starmer was accompanied by his wife, Victoria Starmer, as he arrived for the talks. Trump and Starmer shook hands and chatted outside before taking questions from reporters. Their conversation couldn’t be heard over the sound of bagpipes that serenaded the prime minister on his arrival.

 

 
Trump On Gaza-Israel War

Speaking to reporters, the U.S. President acknowledged the "terrible" situation in Gaza and stated that the U.S. would set up food centers to address the crisis, emphasizing the need to "get the kids fed." He criticized Israel's claims that there was "no starvation in Gaza," suggesting that the situation was real and required immediate action.

Trump told reporters after greeting Starmer in Turnberry, that the two leaders would discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and said he believed a ceasefire was still possible.

"The whole place is a mess," Trump said when asked if Israel has done enough to limit civilian deaths. "They have to get food and safety right now," he added.

Trump said that there was “real starvation” in Gaza, breaking with Israel as the U.S. ally faces intense pressure to lift restrictions on aid with hunger spreading in the besieged enclave.

His comments came amid mounting global outrage over rising deaths from malnutrition under Israel’s military offensive on the territory.

The Israel Defense Forces began limited pauses in fighting in three populated areas of Gaza on Sunday for 10 hours a day. But aid groups have warned the trickle of aid entering the enclave is not enough to stave off famine.

Trump emphasized the importance of getting food to children in Gaza. "We have to help on a humanitarian basis before we do anything, we have to get the kids fed," Trump said. He said the U.S. would help set up food centers and supply funds.

The President said that he had seen images of Palestinians on TV and that “those children look very hungry.” He later added that the scenes were “real starvation” and that “you can’t fake that.”

Trump also said Hamas won't release the remaining living hostages and suggested a different approach toward the group might be needed, without elaborating.

"I always said, when you get down to the final 20 they won't release them, because that's like their shield," Trump said. "And so something's going to have to be done."

Some of Trump's views were echoed by Vice President JD Vance, who said in response to a question at an event in Canton, Ohio Monday, that the Trump administration was “very worried about the humanitarian problem in Gaza” and wanted to make sure starving children got food.

"We are very worried about the humanitarian problem in Gaza," Vance said. "We see a lot of starving children. We want to make sure they get food."

He also said that they needed to ensure that Hamas "gets the hell out of Gaza." Vance recalled seeing images of "really, really heartbreaking cases" and kids "starving to death."

The partial easing of restrictions in Gaza under the new round of “tactical pauses” has done little to quell fears about the spiraling hunger crisis.

“This is progress, but vast amounts of aid are needed to stave off famine and a catastrophic health crisis,” United Nations Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher warned in a statement.

 

 
Trump On New Deadline For Russia To Agree To Ceasefire With Ukraine

During the press conference in Scotland, Trump announced he's considering a new deadline of "about 10 or 12 days" for Russia to end its war in Ukraine, expressing disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin. He warned of potential secondary sanctions on countries that continue to trade with Russia if a ceasefire is not reached.

Trump told reporters that he might move ahead with severe tariffs and secondary sanctions on Russia earlier than a 50-day deadline he imposed in mid-July for reaching a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine.

“I’m going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number because I think I already know the answer, what’s going to happen,” Trump said.

"I'm going to make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today," Trump said. "There's no reason we’re waiting," he added.

 

 
Trump On Epstein

Responding to questions about late child sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, Trump said he threw him out of his Mar-a-Lago club and cut ties with him years ago because “he stole people who worked for me.”

Trump said Epstein poached at least one more employee from him after he was warned not to do it again.

“That’s such old history, very easy to explain, but I don’t want to waste your time by explaining it,” Trump said after a reporter asked him about what led to the rift between the two men and Epstein’s exile from Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, club.

“But for years, I wouldn’t talk to Jeffrey Epstein. I wouldn’t talk because he did something that was inappropriate,” the president said.

“He hired help, and I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He stole people that work for me. I said, ‘Don’t ever do that again.’ He did it again,” Trump said.

Epstein then became “persona non grata,” Trump said.

“I threw him out, and that was it. I’m glad I did, if you want to know the truth,” he said.

Trump emphasized he never visited Epstein's infamous island and saying he had "never gone to the island" and "turned it down in one of my very good moments."

The President also said that no one had approached him about pardoning convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, an accomplice to Epstein.

"I'm allowed to give her a pardon, but ... nobody's approached me with it. Nobody's asked me about it," Trump told reporters when asked about the issue. The president added that it would "inappropriate" to talk about the matter.

Trump also said that the Epstein files are a "hoax" that he said has been "built up way beyond proportion."

"Those files were run by the worst scum on Earth," Trump said in answer to a reporter's question.

"They were run by Comey, they were run by Garland, they were run by Biden, and all of the people that actually ran the government, including the auto-pen," Trump said, referring to former FBI director James Comey, whom he fired during his first term, former Attorney General Merrick Garland, and former President Joe Biden.

"Those files were run for four years by those people," Trump continued. "If they had anything, I assume they would have released it. The whole thing is a hoax. They ran the files. I was running against somebody that ran the files, if they had something, they would have released it. Now they can easily put something in the files that’s a phony," he said.

Responding to a question about recent Wall Street Journal report that said Trump drew a photo of a naked woman in a birthday book for Epstein, Trump said, "I don't do drawings. I'm not a drawing person. I don't do drawings. Sometimes people say, 'Would you draw a building?' And I'll draw four lines and a little roof, you know, for charity stuff, but I'm not a drawing person. I don't do drawings of women — that I can tell you."

Speaking to reporters back in Ohio, about Epstein, Vance said that Trump wants "full transparency" in into Jeffrey Epstein and he criticized past administrations for their handling of the case.

"You ought to go after the administrations that went easy on Jeffrey Epstein, the administrations that concealed this case for 20 years and the administrations that failed to show full transparency," he said. "Donald J Trump, I’m telling you, he’s got nothing to hide, his administration has got nothing to hide, and that’s why he’s been an advocate for full transparency in this case."

 

 
Trump Slams London Mayor Sadiq Khan

During his remarks to reporters in Scotland, Monday, Trump also slammed London Mayor Sadiq Khan, calling him a "nasty person" and stating that he has "done a terrible job."

PM Starmer, who was seated beside Trump, intervened to defend Khan, saying, "He's a friend of mine, actually." Trump, however, continued to express his disapproval of Khan, reiterating his view that the mayor has performed poorly, but he also confirmed that he would visit London during his upcoming state visit to the UK in September.

Trump and Khan have had a long-standing feud, with Trump previously calling Khan a "stone cold loser" and "very dumb" Khan has also criticized Trump's policies, including his travel ban on people from certain Muslim countries.

After their meeting in Turnberry, Starmer flew with Trump aboard Marine One to outside Aberdeen, where the Trump Organization has a second golf course. The President is on a 4-day trip to Scotland, where he announced a trade deal with European Union President Ursula Von Der Leyen.
