Elon Musk blasts FBI after axing Epstein probe — raging ‘It's no-one-has-been-arrested-o'clock again'
DONALD Trump's ex-pal Elon Musk lashed out yesterday after a leaked memo said the FBI was ready to end its Jeffrey Epstein probe — with the Tesla tycoon declaring: 'It's no-one-has-been-arrested-o'clock again.' The document showed federal investigators and the US Justice Department found no evidence the paedophile financier had a client list or blackmailed powerful figures. 6 Elon Musk made his claims about Donald Trump being in the Epstein files when they fell out after the Tesla boss left government Credit: Getty 6 Talking about the FBI preparing to axe its Epstein probe, Musk blasted 'It's no-one-has-been-arrested-o'clock again' Credit: AP 6 Mr Trump had said he was 'not a fan of Epstein' and had not spoken to him in years Credit: AP And CCTV footage taken outside his cell — finally released six years after his death — proved he was not murdered, officials claimed. Many within the US President's Make America Great Again movement — including FBI chief Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino — repeatedly called for all Epstein files to be publicly released and other abusers to be brought to justice. Critics accused the US government of a new cover-up, weeks after Musk claimed the President was 'in the Epstein files'. Billionaire Musk led the attacks yesterday, posting on X: 'What's the time? Oh look, it's no-one-has-been-arrested-o'clock again...', above a meme of 'The Official Jeffrey Epstein paedophile arrest counter' — which was at zero. He added: 'Man, this is heavy', and referring to Epstein's British socialite madam, serving 20 years for sex trafficking, said: 'What is Ghislaine Maxwell in prison for? Stuff like this does not improve people's faith in government.' Maxwell was pictured with Prince Andrew and his sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre. One of the main claims by conspiracy theorists was that Epstein was murdered in 2019 to hush him up and protect senior figures. In the run-up to yesterday's revelations, US government officials suggested shocking revelations. When asked if Epstein's client list would be released, Attorney General Pam Bondi said in February: 'It's sitting on my desk right now to review.' She had also said the FBI was reviewing 'tens of thousands of videos' of Epstein 'with children or child porn'. I came face-to-face with Epstein - paedo would flip to dark side like a switch... I'm convinced he DIDN'T kill himself Trump supporter Alina Habba, the acting US Attorney for the District of New Jersey, had said: 'It is incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs, we have information, names that will come out. 'I don't see how it's not shocking there were so many individuals that were hidden and kept secret and not been held accountable.' Epstein watchers keenly anticipated a string of powerful people being outed as clients, with up to 1,000 FBI agents on the case. But there was anger when a two-page DoJ/FBI memo revealed investigators had found no evidence of a cover-up. 6 Prince Andrew with his sex abuse accuser Virginia Giuffre, centre, and Ghislaine Maxwell - who is currently in prison for her part in the Epstein scandal Credit: AFP 6 It's claimed new CCTV of Epstein in jail, circled, proves the convicted paedophile was not murdered in his cell It was published by US news website Axios and picked up by ABC News. The US government made no official comment. The memo said there was 'no incriminating 'client list'', 'no credible evidence Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals,' and 'no evidence could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties'. The memo said Epstein harmed 'over one thousand victims' and 'each suffered unique trauma'. It said 'sensitive information relating to these victims is intertwined throughout materials' it reviewed, but warned: 'Much of the material is subject to court-ordered sealing. 'Only a fraction would have been aired publicly had Epstein gone to trial, as the seal served only to protect victims and did not expose any additional third-parties to allegations of wrongdoing.' Investigators checked the original film from cameras near Epstein's cell, as well as an enhanced version from 10.40pm the night before he died to around 6.30am, when he was found. No one else enters that area of the prison, officials said. The memo states: 'After a thorough investigation, FBI investigators concluded Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell.' Protest group Republicans Against Trump said: 'Hey Donald, if you've got nothing to hide, release all the Epstein files just like you promised. What are you afraid of?' Mr Musk made his claims about Trump being in the Epstein files when they fell out after the Tesla boss left government. The world's richest man later said he 'went too far' — but posted repeatedly about the case yesterday. The President earlier hit back at the claims saying: 'That's called 'old news.' Even Epstein's lawyer said I had nothing to do with it.' Trump and Epstein attended the same parties in the 1990s and in 2017 Epstein claimed he was 'Donald Trump's closest friend'. Trump had said he was 'not a fan of Epstein' and had not spoken to him in years.

Police slam Brit 'drug mule' teen's claims as 'baseless' with fresh CCTV
Bella Culley claimed during a pre-trial hearing that she was forced to smuggle drugs out of Thailand and that 'nobody paid attention' when she asked for help at Bangkok airport Police in Thailand have criticised the claims made by a British teenager accused of smuggling drugs out of the country as "baseless", as new CCTV images of her at the airport emerged. Bella Culley is currently detained in Georgia for alleged drug trafficking and faces a potential sentence of 20 years or life imprisonment if found guilty. The 19-year-old, from Billingham, County Durham, sobbed in court last week as she claimed she was "forced by torture" to smuggle drugs out of Thailand. She was arrested at Tblisi International Airport on May 10 after being caught with 30 pounds of marijuana and hashish in her luggage. She said during her pre-trial hearing at a Tbilisi City court: "I didn't want to do this. I was forced by torture. I just wanted to travel. I study at the university… to become a nurse. "All I wanted to do was to travel and this happened to me. I'm clean - I had nothing in my blood test. I wanted to make my family proud. Thanks for listening." She also added "nobody paid attention" when she tried to ask for help from Thai customs officers at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok. But Thai authorities have hit back at Culley's claims, as they say CCTV images from the airport shows her calmly passing through airport checks without showing unusual behaviour. Police Lieutenant General Choengron Rimpadee said "there is absolutely no factual basis to her claims" while presenting airport CCTV footage showing Culley walking normally through passport control at the Thai airport. He added: "There is no evidence whatsoever that any immigration or police officers forced or threatened the suspect to smuggle drugs out of the country." According to Khaosod English, Thai immigration records say the suspect departed from Thailand at 7am local time on May 10. Culley will now be registered as a "prohibited person" by authorities in Thailand, it has been reported. The British student is now awaiting her fate at the notorious Women's Penitentiary Number Five in Georgia, close to the Russian border. It's understood that Culley, who is pregnant, is sharing a cell with two other inmates in the "hellhole" jail known for its cramped and dirty conditions. The teen has claimed she's had no medical care in jail, despite her pregnancy. Her lawyer Mariam Kublashvili said back in May: "She is pregnant and needs medical care which she complained she wasn't getting – there were no tests or checks or medical examinations done, she told me. She said she asked for a doctor, but the doctor wasn't speaking English and they couldn't understand each other." Campaigners and lawyers are now warning that Culley's apparent lack of medical care could "raise serious human rights concerns." Describing reports of her being denied medical care as "extremely worrying", Adam Jones, from law firm HD Claims, told the Mirror: "Even while incarcerated, individuals have the right to basic healthcare, and pregnancy care falls firmly within that. Georgia is a signatory to multiple international conventions, including the European Convention on Human Rights and the UN's Convention Against Torture. "These establish a minimum standard of care, especially for vulnerable individuals such as pregnant women. Day-to-day, Bella should be receiving routine antenatal check-ups, access to qualified medical professionals, proper nutrition, and immediate care in the event of complications. Denial of such care may breach Article 3 of the ECHR, which prohibits inhuman or degrading treatment."
