Mark Epstein is the brother of the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who died while awaiting trial in 2019 on federal charges related to his alleged abuse of underage girls, and he says his brother was killed at the orders of Donald Trump, who was a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein for decades.
In a document unearthed out of the recent Epstein files release from the Department of Justice, Mark Epstein writes, “Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in his jail cell. I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe [President] Trump authorized [his] murder.”
Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan jail in August of 2019, and his death led to a federal investigation into the circumstances of his passing, which was later ruled a suicide.
This latest revelation from the Epstein files drew a great deal of commentary on social media.
For his part, Trump insists he was never best friends with Jeffrey Epstein despite there being volumes of proof to the contrary. Then again, Trump is a pathological liar and is mentioned in the Epstein files over 30,000 times.
