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).

Where’s the pic of them going into the room and coming out
with the spinning eyes? I saw it on my phone but didn’t save it
I’m just tellin’ ya, what’s in there could bring down the Democrats and maybe the Royal Family of England. /shiny side out
There would then be significant economic upheaval and chaos.
That’s a guess, admittedly...... YMMV

BALONEY. I have lost respect for Bongino, Patel and Bondi. I really thought at least they would not LIE to me. NOBODY has gone to jail or has been arrested. Stop INVESTIGATING and start ARRESTING. The J6ewrs were in jail with moldy food and the jailers would turn the water off FOR DAYS. Grandmothers were jailed-ENOUGH. Throw the criminals in JAIL or get fired. I am sick of this.
And the INSURRECTIONIST RIOTERS re the illegals No Need for violence/retaliation from the right. Trump should announce that if the Police, ICE or Border Security catch any of these INSURRECTIONIST RIOTERS throwing something or attacking them they will be INELIGIBLE for ANY AND ALL GOVERNMENT WELFARE MONEY forever. Retinal eye scan, fingerprints and DNA will be taken just in case they change their name.
Wanna stop the violence FAST? Threaten to take away their money. Soros many pay them for their time but he will NOT pay to keep them forever monetarily. These INSURRECTIONISTS WEARING MASKS most likely live off of government welfare programs. I bet most have no job. (Unless you count getting paid to RIOT). If we take away their section 8 or other benefits I bet they would all go home.
Benefits can be removed for certain behaviors, like selling drugs or offering false in and the list goes on. I would think BREAKING FEDERAL LAW against your country could count. Or charge them w TREASON. Hire more police and have one group go after these MASKED INSURREECTIONISTS and the other police go after the illegals.
...and Lucy is holding the football yet AGAIN.
Too bad Fitton isn’t a lawyer; he’d be a great AG, IMO.
And the OTHER Lucy is still waiting there at the table with Ethel.
Perhaps if the list is actually released the GOP loses the House and Senate... Under those circumstances I’d be fine.
4-D chess again.
Interesting times
You realize, don’t you, that Trump is the Decider in Chief in the Justice Department
It was ultimately his call how to handle it
No way he wouldn’t have to have signed off first on something of this magnitude
Suck it up buttercups. If you want tax cuts and deportations you have to accept some elite pedos will skate. It’s that simple. Time to move on.
Is there any hard evidence that the dozens of names of celebrities, politicians, and high wealth individuals in the Epstein journals had any kind of meaningful or long term friendship with Epstein?
Obviously, Bill Gates visited Epstein on two occasions, Prince Andrew visited Epstein twice, Bill Clinton and a few more names flew on the Epstein jet. Donald Trump chatted briefly with Epstein at a Palm Beach party.
Besides that handful of prominent men, there is basically no public evidence that the dozens of other names had any relationship at all with Epstein.
I am also still waiting to hear the name of even one female victim of the Epstein Client List.
40+ women successfully sued Epstein and Maxwell, and put them in prison.
Zero women have filed a criminal complaint against the Epstein Client List, and only one has sued.
“Zero women have filed a criminal complaint against the Epstein Client List,”
maybe part of their settlements were to not pursue further? not say anything more?
HOORAY Tom Fitton!
Kinda like double secret probation?
Fitton is saying Big Brother is still in charge and the bad actors are still in big trouble.
Just wait and see.
And wait some more.
And wait some more after that.
I think we know what it took to get the BBB past now.
It’s a cover, a ruse. You can’t discuss what is being actively investigated.
Why do folks refuse to trust the man we elected?
Yep. Our side are the blackmailers now. It’s just Democrats and Israel anymore.
