Rudy Giuliani reveals 'real reason' evidence in Epstein files hasn't been fully released
has revealed what he believes is the 'real reason' the evidence in the Jeffrey Epstein case hasn't yet been fully released. In an interview with political commentator Benny Johnson, the former New York Mayor claimed that crucial evidence in the files is being deliberately withheld due to fears it could have devastating consequences for America's national security and foreign policy. Giuliani suggested that authorities are 'struggling' with releasing the sensitive material because it involves information that could damage relationships with US allies and compromise critical intelligence operations. 'I think it still exists on Epstein... I think we are going to see it,' he said. 'And I think they're struggling with - I really do believe that,' he added. 'I think it probably involves something that could have big implications on our national security, foreign policy, allies.' The 81-year-old former federal prosecutor warned that whatever is being concealed must be 'something very, very sensitive' to warrant such extreme secrecy. He also made claims about how Jeffrey Epstein could have been killed while in federal custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. In an interview with political commentator Benny Johnson, the former New York Mayor claimed that crucial evidence in the files still exist but is being deliberately withheld due to fears it could have devastating consequences for America's national security and foreign policy When Johnson asked directly how someone could be murdered in such a high-security facility, Giuliani laid out how he would do it. 'I think the easiest way to do it is to make sure you're going to use something that doesn't show up in the blood, end up sedating him and then hanging him,' he said. 'You could hang them easily. You can hang them anyplace - with the help of one or two people.' He also emphasized the disputes among medical examiners about whether Epstein actually died by suicide. 'There's even dispute by the outside medical examiner as to whether he was actually hanged,' Giuliani said. Giuliani argued that authorities should be more transparent about the case overall. 'There are more questions than there are answers,' he said. 'There shouldn't be that way.' 'There should be more answers and questions and and with the two of them saying that, I assume there are answers, but we're just not getting them.' His comments come as pressure continues to mount for the full release of documents related to the former financier's vast network of powerful connections, following his controversial death in a Manhattan federal jail in 2019. Last week, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino stunned MAGA conspiracy theorists as he gave his verdict on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 death. Bongino and his superior, FBI Director Kash Patel, sat down with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo to deny claims that Epstein was somehow killed inside New York City's infamous Metropolitan Correctional Center. On the program, Bartiromo asked Patel about the ongoing skepticism surrounding Epstein's death. You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide,' she said. 'People don't believe it.' Patel then said that everyone has a 'right to their opinion.' 'But as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who's been in that prison system, who has been at the Metropolitan Detention Center, who's been in segregated housing - You know a suicide when you see one,' he replied. 'He killed himself... I've seen the whole file. He killed himself,' the deputy director insisted. He later reiterated his bombshell assertion on X for anyone who had not seen the interview. 'I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There's no evidence in the case file suggesting otherwise,' Bongino wrote. 'I'm not asking you to believe me or not, I'm telling you what exists and what doesn't.' 'If new evidence surfaces, I'm happy to re-evaluate,' he vowed. The assertion marked a U-turn for Bongino, who has previously spread his own conspiracy theories about Epstein's untimely passing.

FBI bosses insist Jeffrey Epstein killed himself after reviewing his file
FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino insisted that disgraced financier and alleged sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in his Manhattan jail cell in an exclusive interview with Fox News' Maria Bartiromo Sunday. Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York in August 2019. New York City's chief medical examiner ruled his death a suicide by hanging. He was set to stand trial on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors. His death instantly triggered a wave of conspiracy theories, with many speculating that he was murdered in order to protect the powerful figures who associated with him. Epstein was a known associate of former President Bill Clinton, former MIT Professor Noam Chomsky, and Prince Andrew. The phrase "Epstein didn't kill himself" became a viral internet meme in the wake of his death. Patel, however, was adamant that his death was indeed a suicide when questioned by Bartiromo. "As someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor who's been in that prison system, who's been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who's been in segregated housing, you know a suicide when you see one, and that's what that was," Patel said when questioned about Epstein's death. He added that those who disagree with him "have a right to their opinion."

The documents did not include a so-called "client list," nor were there any new revelations regarding Epstein's alleged sex trafficking. "I nor the task force were given or reviewed the Epstein documents being released today… A NY Post story just revealed that the documents will simply be Epstein's phonebook, THIS IS NOT WHAT WE OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ASKED FOR and a complete disappointment.

FBI deputy director Dan Bongino drops Jeffrey Epstein bombshell that sends MAGA conspiracy theorists wild
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino stunned MAGA conspiracy theorists on Sunday as he gave his verdict on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein 's 2019 death. Bongino and his superior, FBI Director Kash Patel, sat down with Fox News ' Maria Bartiromo to deny claims that Epstein was somehow killed inside New York City's infamous Metropolitan Correctional Center. On the program, Bartiromo asked Patel about the ongoing skepticism surrounding Epstein's death. 'You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide,' she said. 'People don't believe it.' Patel then said that everyone has a 'right to their opinion.' 'But as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who's been in that prison system, who has been at the Metropolitan Detention Center, who's been in segregated housing - You know a suicide when you see one,' he replied. At that point, Bongino jumped in. 'He killed himself... I've seen the whole file. He killed himself,' the deputy director insisted. He later reiterated his bombshell assertion on X for anyone who had not seen the interview. 'I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There's no evidence in the case file suggesting otherwise,' Bongino wrote. 'I'm not asking you to believe me or not, I'm telling you what exists and what doesn't.' 'If new evidence surfaces, I'm happy to re-evaluate,' he vowed. The assertion marked a U-turn for Bongino, who has previously spread his own conspiracy theories about Epstein's untimely passing. He alleged on his podcast last year that former President Bill Clinton is 'knee-deep in this Jeffrey Epstein scandal.' More recently, in February, Bongino said he was 'starting to hear some things about the Jeffrey Epstein files.' He claimed at the time, 'You do not know all the details of this thing, I promise.' President Donald Trump shared his own skepticism about Epstein's cause of death in the aftermath. He and First Lady Melania are pictured with Epstein and British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell in 2000 President Donald Trump has also shared his own skepticism about Epstein's cause of death. He had shared a tweet on his page questioning how the convicted pedophile could have died while on full-time suicide watch. 'How does that happen...' the tweet read, before alleging that Epstein 'had information on Bill Clinton and now he's dead.' 'I see #TrumpBodyCount trending but we know who did this!' The post ended with the hashtags #ClintonBodyCount and #ClintonCrimeFamily. In the years since, Trump has suggested he would release documents relating to the investigation of billionaire child sex trafficker. He then signed an executive order upon taking office in January calling on agencies to create plans to release and distribute top-secret documents including on Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi made good on that promise the following month, releasing what she called 'phase one' of the long-anticipated files. However, there were no bombshells in the first wave of documents - which included flight logs, Epstein's infamous contact book, an evidence list and a masseuse list. The contact list, which has previously circulated in various forms, shows redacted information for dozens of the Hollywood, political and fashion elite and was purportedly compiled by Epstein and his longtime confidante Maxwell. Personal contact information was redacted throughout the list. Names who are in the address book include Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, actor Alec Baldwin, Ethel Kennedy, Andrew Cuomo, Naomi Campbell and Courtney Love. Both Harvey and Bob Weinstein, the late Senator Ted Kennedy; actor Ralph Fiennes, Alan Dershowitz; John Kerry, Dustin Hoffman, Donald Trump 's late first wife Ivana and daughter Ivanka Trump are included among the contacts. The president himself is not listed. There is no suggestion that any person named in his contact book is linked to the atrocious crimes Epstein committed. Meanwhile, any evidence of a 'client list' have not yet emerged. Despite Bongino's assertion, many Americans continue to doubt the official report that Epstein hung himself inside his cell Still, many Americans continue to doubt the official report that Epstein hung himself inside his cell - and were left outraged by Bongino's statement on Sunday. Podcaster Luke Rudkowski, for example, declared 'something is wrong here. 'How did Epstein destroy the video cameras? Move his cell mate out while under suicide watch after an alleged previous attempt a few days before to be able to do that in a cell made to make that impossible?' he asked. Conservative influencer Sarah Adams also questioned the FBI's investigation into the pedophile's death. 'As someone who saw [the] FBI's investigation into Benghazi and how incorrect it was... I think authorizing an outside body to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's death is something that the public would need to truly trust the findings,' she wrote on X.
