President Donald Trump has been accused of being involved in the death of Jeffrey Epstein by the disgraced financier’s brother.
The late convicted sex offender’s death has been largely speculated since it was announced on August 10, 2019. Epstein took his own life in prison while awaiting his sex trafficking trial, though theorists have long claimed he was murdered due to having ‘dirt’ on the rich and powerful.
However, the convicted sex offender's brother, Mark Epstein, thinks President Trump had something to do with it, according to an email featured in the latest three -million-document release of Epstein files.
It included information that states on February 22, 2023, Mark had submitted an online tip to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center where he linked Trump to Epstein’s death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.

“Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in his jail cell,” Mark wrote. “I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Presient [sic] Trump authorized is [sic] murder.”
Mark had allegedly sent his tip to a Threat Intake Examiner at the FBI NTOC, which included his contact information and IP address, which has been redacted.
Mark told The Independent that no one followed him up on his claim at the time.
In response to the bombshell claims, a White House spokesperson referred the outlet to the following section of a DOJ press release: “This production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos, as everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included in the production that is responsive to the Act.
“Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already."
Mark had revealed his stance on his brother’s death just last month as he told NewsNation: “Jeffrey was murdered, and more autopsy facts will be coming out in February that prove it.
“There are only three ways to die in prison. Suicide, natural causes or murder. And Jeff was murdered. I want to know who killed him and on whose behalf?”
Last year, he told BBC's Newsnight that his brother had ‘dirt’ on Trump, with whom he allegedly had a friendship that was cut short in the noughties.
Mark also mentioned Trump’s first run for presidency in the interview, where he said: “In the 2016 election ... Jeffrey told me that if he said what he knew about the candidates they’d have to cancel the election.”
Trump had once called Epstein a ‘terrific guy’ in a 2002 New York Magazine interview, revealing that they both like beautiful women, but the financier may have liked them ‘younger’.
Trump previously claimed that the pair had a falling out 15 years prior to Epstein’s conviction, to which Mark told NewsNation: "You could see in the emails; Trump could deny it all he wants, but it's pretty clear everything Trump says is a lie.”
It's important to note that being featured in the files does not indicate any wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein's crimes.
