While officials in the first Trump administration ruled Epstein’s death a suicide, many Americans do not believe the official version of events. Bongino himself, who was a right-wing podcaster prior to being tapped for the FBI job, spread vague conspiracy theories about Epstein being murdered.

After years of speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Jeffrey Epstein, the FBI announced Thursday that it plans to release surveillance footage from the jail where he died.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said on Fox News Thursday morning that he is certain Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, died by suicide while in federal custody — and there is video that supports it.
