No justice for Epstein victims... again

THE FBI's decision this week to formally close its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein is being sold as the end of a long and complex case.

In truth, it feels like the quiet burial of one of the most disturbing scandals of our time.

No new charges. No client list. No courtroom reckoning for the rich and powerful men named by his victims.

Epstein died in a prison cell in 2019, while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Only one person was ever prosecuted, Ghislaine Maxwell, and now it feels like the administration is saying there's simply “nothing more to see”.

But there is. Especially when you look at the timing.

It was just a few weeks ago that Elon Musk claimed Donald Trump's name appears in the Epstein files. The claims were rubbished by the White House but the comment set off alarm bells. Then, just like that, the FBI shut it all down.
