On February 8, 2026, the Associated Press reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation concluded that Jeffrey Epstein was not operating a trafficking ring “for powerful men.” The report acknowledged that Epstein had been charged with and previously convicted of offenses involving the sexual exploitation of underage girls. However, according to the FBI’s findings as cited by the Associated Press, investigators did not determine that other prominent individuals—including wealthy or politically connected associates, some of whom appeared on Epstein’s flight logs multiple times—engaged in criminal conduct.
In other words, the public is being told there is nothing further to see here. The case is closed. Move on. Yet that conclusion stands in sharp contrast to the volume of sealed filings, heavily redacted court documents, flight logs (some who logged in 27 flights), contact books, and testimony—much of it redacted—along with photographs and other materials entered into evidence. Significant portions of these records remain blacked out, limiting public visibility to the full scope of what the investigators reviewed.
If this wasn’t a larger criminal operation involving rich and powerful men, what exactly were they doing with Jeffrey Epstein? What on earth was going on at his properties, which according to the released files were built for sexual encounters and filled with underage girls? Nobody seems to know. Nobody’s saying anything. But, according to the FBI, whatever it was, nothing criminal was happening.
The Associated Press published the following:
• “The FBI pored over Jeffrey Epstein’s bank records and emails. It searched his homes. It spent years interviewing his victims and examining his connections to some of the world’s most influential people.” [1]
Jeffrey Epstein had victims; don’t forget that. There were and are real victims, and he was already convicted of sex trafficking of minors in 2008. He was arrested again in 2019 on new sex trafficking charges, and a month later, while in his cell, he apparently committed suicide.
The FBI conducted what it described as a thorough investigation and ultimately concluded that the evidence did not support additional charges beyond those already filed against Epstein. This means that prosecutors are not bringing new charges against other people who were publicly associated with Epstein, whether through travel, parties, or visits to his island.
Federal authorities have stated that there was really nothing going on. In other words, they are not going to prosecute all the people allegedly involved in child sex abuse. They will not charge anyone else for crimes against minors. The Associated Press continues:
• “But while investigators collected ample proof that Epstein sexually abused underage girls, they found scant evidence the well-connected financier led a sex trafficking ring serving powerful men, an Associated Press review of internal Justice Department records shows.” [1]
This is unbelievable and difficult to reconcile. No further crimes were committed. No criminal proceedings were expanded. Although everyone knew what was happening, now no one else will go to jail. No one will be punished or prosecuted. No one will be held accountable for their crimes.
• “Videos and photos seized from Epstein’s homes in New York, Florida and the Virgin Islands didn’t depict victims being abused or implicate anyone else in his crimes, a prosecutor wrote in one 2025 memo.” [1]
We’re told it was just Epstein. That’s the official conclusion. However, many point to the long list of prominent, wealthy, and politically connected individuals whose names have surfaced over the years, including Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and Prince Andrew—the same royal who was disowned and stripped of his royal titles because even his family knew what was going on. This double standard shows exactly what is wrong with society—namely, that some people are able to avoid consequences because of wealth, status, or political connections, while those without influence are held fully accountable.
According to the Associated Press, no one else is going to face charges:
• “An examination of Epstein’s financial records, including payments he made to entities linked to influential figures in academia, finance and global diplomacy, found no connection to criminal activity, said another internal memo in 2019.” [1]
The message being conveyed is essentially the same: investigators found no grounds to file additional criminal charges. While prominent figures from both the Republican and Democratic parties, along with business leaders and celebrities, were linked to Epstein on various occasions, the FBI has stated that no one, except the now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein, acted improperly or inappropriately. The official position maintains that Epstein acted on his own when engaging in illegal activities. And unfortunately, the dead man is not here to speak up on his behalf.
It seems the rich and powerful are in a hurry to move on, because we’re about to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, and we don’t need to muddy that celebration with prosecutions and more talk about Epstein. So they tell us: let’s move on, because there’s nothing to see here. Despite this conclusion from the FBI, the Word of God says the following:
“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” Isaiah 58:1.
The Epstein controversy is merely a symptom of a deeper moral problem. This verse is a call to speak out boldly and clearly instead of remaining silent, as so many do on this issue and many others. As God’s people, we cannot ignore national sins or excuse moral corruption, whether at the highest or lowest levels, in the church or the state. We have a duty to confront wrongdoing and call people to repentance.
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out.” Acts 3:19.
The Bible is clear: sins confessed and forsaken are forgiven; those clung to remain on the record. Human courts or investigations can reach conclusions based on the limited evidence they can prove, but the Bible reminds us that the final judgment rests not with earthly institutions but before God himself. Ecclesiastes 12:14 declares that “God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether good or evil.”
Make no mistake. Justice may appear delayed, incomplete, or denied in this world. Yet Scripture affirms that nothing is hidden from God, and no sin escapes His notice. The call, then, is to “cry ”aloud”—urging people to repentance now, before the final judgment where every secret thing is revealed.
