This is just the beginning of the investigation into his death
The FBI and the US inspector general are continuing to investigate the systemic failures that led to Epstein's death and have subpoenaed dozens more witnesses.
It's unclear how quickly that investigation will proceed. The Department of Justice did not return the ABC's request for comment.
Epstein's victims and US politicians are growing impatient.

During a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Republican senator Lindsay Graham repeatedly asked the US Bureau of Prisons chief how Epstein managed to kill himself and whether there was any evidence to suggest it was not a suicide.
"With a case this high-profile, there's got to be either a major malfunction in the system or a criminal enterprise at foot to allow this to happen," he said.
He was perhaps referring to the whirl of conspiracy theories stipulating that Epstein was murdered.
Medical authorities say there is no doubt Epstein committed suicide, and surveillance footage shows no one accessed the area where his cell was located on the night he died.

What about the sex crimes investigation?
Epstein's death ended the case against him, which could have involved prominent figures including Prince Andrew, who has been accused of having sex with one of Epstein's victims, Virginia Giuffre, when she was 17.
In a BBC interview widely seen as a train wreck, Prince Andrew again denied any knowledge of the incident but that has not stopped calls for him to speak with US investigators about what he does know.

Shortly after Epstein's death, US Attorney-General William Barr declared: "The victims deserve justice and they will get it".
"Let me assure you that this case will continue on against anyone who was complicit," he told a law enforcement conference in New Orleans."
It appears the FBI is still interviewing Epstein's victims as part of an ongoing investigation into possible accomplices.
While he denies any wrongdoing, legal experts say it is possible Prince Andrew could be subpoenaed.

The Duke of York's interview about his relationship to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein may be a decision the House of Windsor ultimately regrets, writes Bridget Brennan.

Anna Rothwell, a lawyer at the British Law Firm Corker Binning, told the Times of London Prince Andrew is "not entitled to any form of immunity by virtue of his position as a member of the Royal family," and he would be "vulnerable to extradition".
In a fresh blow to the Duke of York, the Telegraph reports his name also appears in a cache of secret documents detailing new allegations against Epstein.
A judge in the US will reportedly decide before the end of the year whether to unseal the more than 3,000 pages of evidence which formed part of a defamation lawsuit in 2015.
