Setback for Trump, Who Hoped to Calm the Troubled
Epstein Ended His Life in 2019 in A Prison in New York After Being Indicted for Sexual Exploitation. The FBI and the US Department of Justice Reported in a Memo Last Month That Epstein Committed Suicide and was not murdered. There would also be no evidence that the sex offender wanted to extort some and that he kept a list of other suspects.
Trump’s supporters are furious that his government has closed the file on Epstein. The President had promised in Election Time to Disucose the Information from the Department of Justice about Epstein.
