Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman released a statement about the criminal case against Epstein saying "our investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment—which included a [[conspiracy]] count—remains ongoing." Bill Barr said “Let me assure you that this case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein. Any co-conspirators should not rest easy.”

A poll just five days after the MCC announcement of an "apparent suicide" found only 29% of American Adults believe Epstein actually committed suicide while in jail. Forty-two percent (42%) think Epstein was murdered to prevent him from testifying against powerful people with whom he associated. 29% are undecided.<ref>http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/general_politics/august_2019/americans_say_murder_more_likely_than_suicide_in_epstein_case</ref>
