There was an active federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators all the way until September 2025 — and then it abruptly stopped.
Now a Maryland lawmaker, Rep. Jamie Raskin, is demanding answers from the DOJ about who shut it down and why.

Raskin sent a formal letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking why the DOJ ended the probe after survivors, prosecutors, and FBI agents spent years building it, only to have it suddenly transferred to DOJ headquarters and halted.

In his words:
“Why has the DOJ abandoned the women and girls abused by Mr. Epstein, Ms. Maxwell, and their co-conspirators… and ceased its investigation into one of the largest sex trafficking rings in history?”

He points out what makes this stunning and what I have been shouting about nonstop.
Nearly 50 survivors spoke to the FBI and SDNY prosecutors.
They provided names, locations, flight logs, financial links, methods of recruitment, and at least 20 men they were trafficked to.
Prosecutors were allegedly still working the leads until fall 2025.

Then (without warning) SDNY prosecutors were told to transfer their Epstein files to DOJ HQ in D.C.
No explanation. No new charges. Nothing.
Several prosecutors were reassigned or removed from the case. Maurene Comey comes to mind. She was fired without warning or known cause earlier this year, after prosecuting Maxwell and also Sean “Diddy” Combs.
She has since filed suit, saying her firing was politically motivated.

Survivors’ attorneys are saying the investigation didn’t “finish” it was stopped.
And it wasn’t due to lack of evidence.
It was a decision. It was intentional.

The DOJ later put out a release saying there was no “client list” and no credible evidence to charge anyone else. Case closed.
But that directly conflicts with what survivors, FBI agents, and SDNY prosecutors said — many of them insist the investigation was still active and supported by detailed evidence when it was shut down.

Raskin says this isn’t just bureaucratic sloppiness, but it’s a betrayal.
Survivors gave the government names, evidence, and trust. In response, the DOJ shut down the investigation and sidelined prosecutors.
Now he’s demanding every memo, staffing record, and FBI interview that explains why this happened.

So here’s the real question:
Why did the Trump DOJ shut down an active investigation into powerful men accused of sexual crimes against minors… right as it was gaining traction?
Who benefits from silence?
