Mark Epstein Accuses Donald Trump of Authorising Brother's Prison Murder in FBI Submission
Mark Epstein, the brother of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, formally alleged that former President Donald Trump authorised his brother's murder while in prison, according to a tip he submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The explosive claim, sent via an online portal in February 2023, asserts that Jeffrey Epstein was killed to prevent him from revealing compromising information about powerful individuals.
FBI Tip Alleged Trump's Direct Involvement in Epstein's Death
In his detailed submission to the FBI, Mark Epstein explicitly accused Donald Trump of playing a direct role in authorising the murder of his brother. He confirmed to The Independent that he provided his full contact information with the tip, expecting a thorough investigation into the allegations. The tip centred on the premise that Jeffrey Epstein possessed significant 'dirt' on influential figures, including Trump, and was eliminated to silence him permanently.
No Follow-Up from Law Enforcement on the Serious Allegations
Despite the gravity of the accusations and Mark Epstein's provision of his contact details, he reported that neither the FBI nor any other law enforcement agency pursued his claim. This lack of follow-up has raised questions about the handling of such high-profile tips. Mark Epstein has remained steadfast in his belief that his brother was murdered, consistently arguing that Jeffrey had damning information on numerous powerful individuals that threatened their reputations and positions.
Department of Justice Dismisses Claims as Unfounded and Potentially Fake
The Department of Justice addressed the allegations in a January 2024 press release, categorically describing claims against Donald Trump regarding Epstein's death as "unfounded and false." The statement suggested that such tips might be fabricated or submitted under false pretences, casting doubt on their credibility. This official dismissal contrasts sharply with Mark Epstein's persistent assertions, highlighting a significant divide between public allegations and governmental conclusions.
Consistent Belief in Murder and Compromising Information
Mark Epstein has repeatedly voiced his conviction that his brother was murdered, emphasising that Jeffrey Epstein held compromising information on a range of powerful figures. This belief underpins his FBI tip, which specifically named Donald Trump as involved in authorising the murder to prevent the disclosure of names. The allegations add to the ongoing controversies and conspiracy theories surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death in prison, which was officially ruled a suicide but continues to be questioned by some.
