In a striking statement on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” former Secret Service agent and commentator Dan Bongino asserted that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide, dismissing conspiracy theories surrounding the financier’s 2019 death in a New York jail cell.
Bongino claimed, “I have seen the whole file,” reinforcing his position that there was no foul play involved.
The discussion took place during an interview hosted by Maria Bartiromo, where Bongino appeared alongside FBI chief Kash Patel. While Patel refrained from drawing conclusions, Bongino said the available evidence, including surveillance logs, interviews, and internal FBI findings, points to a suicide — not a cover-up. He acknowledged that public skepticism is understandable but urged Americans to separate emotion from evidence.
The Epstein case has long fueled public distrust in institutions due to his high-profile connections and the suspicious circumstances of his death. Bongino’s comments, coming from someone with access to sensitive information, are likely to reignite debate — particularly among critics who have long maintained that Epstein was silenced.
