Newly released documents from the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) massive Epstein files dump reveal that “higher-ups” ordered the FBI to shut down its investigation into whether famed illusionist David Copperfield and convicted child predator Jeffrey Epstein referred underage victims to one another.
The documents show investigators believed Copperfield had a “very close relationship” with Epstein.
At one point, they described the magician as Epstein’s favorite “cohort.”
Despite the seriousness of the probe, the investigation was shut down without charges.
The investigation was killed after concerns emerged among top federal officials about confronting Copperfield’s financial power.
