On Monday, the Justice Department and the FBI released a memo evoking outrage from both President Donald Trump’s critics and his most ardent supporters.

WASHINGTON — The Trump Department of Justice and FBI announced Monday that they had “conducted an exhaustive review” into the death of disgraced financier and child abuser Jeffrey Epstein and found more than 10,000 downloaded videos of illegal child sex abuse. Epstein, who killed himself in a New York prison cell in 2019, clearly was a monster.

The autopsy cited multiple neck fractures and evidence consistent with a self-inflicted death. However, the findings quickly became a source of controversy, partly due to the high-profile nature of Epstein's case and the numerous irregularities at the jail where he was being held.
