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 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.

Among the released documents was a contact list that was reportedly compiled by Maxwell (pictured right with Epstein in 2005)

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.

Republican Florida County Commissioner Anthony Sabatini was more direct in his claims – asserting: ‘Jeffrey Epstein did not kill himself.’
