A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against the U.S. federal government has revealed that the Department of Justice (DOJ) is still secretly investigating the Jeffrey Epstein case, despite claims to the contrary.
Despite previous denials and public statements suggesting the Epstein case had been closed, federal court filings now confirm that the DOJ and the FBI are actively continuing their investigation.
The federal investigation includes reviewing documents related to Epstein’s network of associates and clients.
The revelation came in a July 7 joint status report filed in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit from government watchdog Judicial Watch.
Judicial Watch has been seeking records from multiple DOJ offices related to Epstein’s criminal activity and personal connections.
According to Judicial Watch, the lawsuit specifically requests records identifying “clients or associates” of Epstein.
The public has long demanded the release of the elusive “client list,” but the government has insisted it does not exist.
“The Justice Department and FBI are sending out contradictory messages,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a statement.
“They’re telling the American people that no more Epstein material will be released, while telling the federal court in our case that the Epstein FOIA review is proceeding.
“But no matter, our FOIA lawsuit for the Epstein material continues.
“We will be relentless in demanding transparency under law.”
The FOIA suit follows three separate requests filed in February 2025 with the DOJ’s Office of Information Policy, its Criminal Division, and two separate branches of the FBI.
After the agencies failed to respond adequately, Judicial Watch filed its legal complaint in April.
The July 7 filing confirms that the FBI “has run its initial searches and is in the process of reviewing those search results,” adding that “the FBI’s efforts are ongoing.”
Officials admitted they could not yet estimate the number of responsive documents or when they might be released.
The Executive Office of United States Attorneys provided a similar update, confirming the review is active.
These admissions directly contradict a previously leaked, unsigned DOJ/FBI memo suggesting that no further records related to Epstein would be disclosed to the public.
That memo, which surfaced just one day before the court filing, had appeared to confirm the government’s intention to permanently seal the remainder of Epstein-related documents.
The internal contradiction within the Justice Department has reignited public skepticism and drawn renewed attention to the broader Epstein scandal, especially given the convicted sex offender’s known ties to high-profile figures like Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and British royalty.
Epstein was found dead in his jail cell in 2019 in what the New York City medical examiner ruled a “suicide.”
However, the assessment was widely criticized due to multiple irregularities, including camera malfunctions and guards allegedly asleep on duty at the time of his death.
...
Despite the DOJ’s earlier release of a 200-page report, the latest court admission confirms the government is not done with the case, even as public officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, have previously promised to bring more transparency to light.
“There are still names, there are still flight logs, and there’s still accountability to be had,” said Fitton.
“The American people deserve to know who was involved.”
Judicial Watch’s lawsuit remains active under the case title Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:25-cv-01056).
MASSIVE NEWS: Stop what you are doing and take 5 minutes to watch this clip. This is huge!
John Solomon says he has confirmed that the DOJ & the FBI has been secretly building a massive conspiracy case against the deep state! 💥
“MAGA base, Americans, will be happy when they see where this is all heading in the next few weeks… I’ve got it confirmed. There’s a conspiracy case that was opened that looks at this window as a very large window.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a special prosecutor named by Pam Bondi in the next week or two. And why does this become significant? Because you don’t have to necessarily then bring the grand jury or the indictment in Washington, DC… it allows them to go to some place like Florida…
This has been going on behind the scenes… This is a REALLY big deal…
I think the most likely scenario is a large conspiracy case and it starts in the middle of July 2016, when John Brennan walks into President Obama two days before Crossfire Hurricane is launched… President Obama and Brennan knew… that this was a dirty trick by Hillary Clinton. That would be the first overt act and it would carry through…
It allows for a very large series of events to be wrapped into a single conspiracy, and all of them to be brought into the indictment.”
Patriots, it’s time. We knew it was heading this way, we kept the faith, but now it’s materializing right in front of our eyes!
Perhaps because we’ve been burned before?
Kash Patel is NOT resigning from his post at the FBI — unless the President himself removes him, according to new reports.
Earlier Friday, rumors exploded across social media, suggesting that FBI Director Kash Patel might join FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino in stepping down after growing friction with Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Dan Bongino reportedly took a day off following a heated confrontation with Bondi over her suppression of critical evidence tied to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
According to CNN and The Daily Wire, Bongino has told confidants he is strongly considering resigning if Bondi remains at the DOJ.
Later Friday, The Daily Wire reported that Patel himself was “frustrated” with Bondi’s DOJ stonewalling and might follow Bongino out the door if the stalemate continued.
However, investigative journalist John Solomon of Just the News set the record straight with an update on Friday night.
According to Solomon, Patel is overseeing one of the largest criminal conspiracy investigations in FBI history—a decade-long look into the coordinated effort to sabotage Donald Trump’s presidency, re-election, and comeback bid.
Solomon teased that within the next 10 days, bombshell revelations would be made public — possibly exposing how weaponized federal agencies colluded to rig the political landscape against Trump and deceive the American people.
John Solomon: There are reports out there tonight that Kash Patel is considering resigning alongside Dan Bongino. It is not true. My reporting makes very clear: Kash Patel is going nowhere unless the President tries to move him. He’s there for the long haul.
Why is that? Because the FBI has a major investigation that looks at the last 10 years of what happened to Donald Trump as one large conspiracy case. No one’s going to give that opportunity up.
Now, it is true — Dan Bongino is taking a few days to reconsider whether he wants to stay in the job. That’s his decision. He’s gone through these things before. There have been times when he’s been on radio, he got mad, took a couple of days off. I bet you he’ll come back when it’s all done.
But Kash Patel is going nowhere.
And I think next week — over the next 10 days — the base who’s been wondering, “Where’s all that accountability?” is going to get some big surprises. Over the next week, we’ll learn where the conspiracy began — a few weeks before Crossfire Hurricane was opened — and when it ended, all the way in 2024, when they were still trying to pursue Donald Trump to keep him from winning the presidency.
There’s a big case that’s been built by the Justice Department and the FBI.
It’s been masked by a lot of this infighting and drama and soap opera. The matter is — MAGA-base Americans are going to be happy when they see where this is all heading in the next few weeks.
Kash Patel is going nowhere. I hope Dan Bongino isn’t going anywhere either — but I do think he’s going to take some time over the weekend to think that through.
There are so many malevolents who have committed so may crimes that roping as many of them into one big case as possible for a start and moving it to Florida makes tactical sense but Trump would need some kind of Untouchables squad to implement it. The clip says week or two so let’s see…?
What settlements?
No rational lawyer would agree to conceal sexual felonies against minor children.
Bottom Line - the alleged sexual crimes by the Epstein Client List never happened.
Any list will be a footnote if the videos showing men in lewd acts get released.
Lawyers working on other Epstein litigation have confirmed they are real and do exist—despite administration denials.
We can move on all we want.
The litigation will continue.
The leaks will continue.
The bleeding will continue.
The “distraction” and “fiasco” of a “third rate break-in” destroyed Nixon.
Moving on did not save him.
The same groups who set up Nixon set up Trump.
That may well be the case.
That means the administration needs to take this very seriously and act very wisely.
All the Epstein files are being quietly tossed into the memory hole… Nothing to see here!
The willful mishandling of this case is an abomination in its purest form. The scandal of the century.
“Dan Bongino is taking a few days to reconsider whether he wants to stay in the job. That’s his decision.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Rule number one: Never quit!
Rule number two: The one who quits is nothing but a quitter... drama-queen style.
We shall see what kind of person he is. Let’s await his decision.
It will be “under investigation” until sometime after proton decay wipes out this universe.
more lies from “slay news”:”
the headline of the cited article from judicial watch is:
“Justice Department Reports to Court It Is Reviewing FBI/DOJ Epstein Records for Possible Release”
https://www.judicialwatch.org/epstein-records-possible-release/
thus, NOTHING is “secret” and NOt an “investigation of Epstein” ...
