At the center of the drama is the so-called "client list" — a purported document containing names of people, likely many of them powerful, to whom the late Palm Beach financier is said to have provided underage girls for sex. Moreover, the speculation is that Epstein used the list to extort and blackmail people.

The Justice Department acknowledged Monday that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” and no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public.

After months of touting the impending release of new, blockbuster information on accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, the Justice Department announced in a memo Monday that there is no evidence he kept a “client list” or was murdered.
