The memo also reinforced the previous conclusion that Epstein’s death was a suicide, while further citing that sensitive information like victim names and images will not be released. Ghislaine Maxwell was also convicted in a trial of her own, and until her appeal exhausts, criminal evidence is unlikely to be released.
