Rightwing influencers in the US who are often aligned with Donald Trump are angry that a joint justice department and FBI memo has dismissed the existence of a “client list” in the case against late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The disgraced financier killed himself in a jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in New York City in 2019 while awaiting prosecution on child sex-trafficking and conspiracy charges.
Almost ever since, Epstein’s death has been the subject of conspiracy theories on the right, including a supposed “client list” that he purportedly used to blackmail wealthy co-conspirators.
On the right? I think that it’s at the whole spectrum, the differences are who are believed to be on the list.
Doesn’t surprise me that the guardian wrote this. They always seem to be a bit out of touch with reality and supposedly they’re left leaning newspaper as well, but I don’t think they’ve caught up with current affairs just yet.
