Epstein’s Brother Destroys Official Narrative, Laughs Off Trump DOJ Suicide Claim

Mark Epstein, brother of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, isn’t buying the Biden-era conspiracy theory that his sibling took his own life — and he’s not shy about calling out the nonsense either.

Speaking with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation this week, Mark Epstein responded to the latest statement from President Trump’s Department of Justice, which reiterated its findings that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide and that there is no existing “client list” or evidence of blackmail involving high-profile individuals.

Asked directly why he doesn’t trust the DOJ’s conclusions, Epstein didn’t mince words.

“Well, every time they say something or do something to try to quash the fact that he was most likely murdered, they just put their foot further down their mouths,” he said. “I mean, for instance, Kash Patel in the congressional hearing... listed his credentials as a prosecutor and other such things and he said that it was a suicide. He said, ‘You know a suicide when you see it.’ You know, that’s basically what he said.”

Epstein then questioned Patel’s qualifications to make that call. “How many suicides has he seen? Number one. Two, is he a forensic pathologist? Does he have a medical degree? Does he have a certificate that he passed a CPR course? Does he have a Boy Scout merit badge for first aid? What is he basing his expertise on?”

In contrast, he pointed to actual medical professionals with firsthand involvement.

“Dr. Roman, who was a city pathologist who did the autopsy, she came out of the autopsy and said she couldn’t call it a suicide because it looked too much like a homicide,” Epstein stated. “Dr. Michael Baden, who was there on my behalf, who witnessed the autopsy, also concurred that it looked more like a homicide than a suicide. Now, was Kash Patel in that autopsy room? No. Was Kash Patel in the prison when they found Jeffrey? No, I don’t think so, and if he was there that raises an even bigger question.”

“When Kash Patel came out with that statement, I laughed at how stupid it was,” he concluded.

WATCH:

While President Trump was addressing major topics — including his administration’s flood relief efforts in Texas — during his sixth Cabinet meeting this year, questions about the Epstein case resurfaced, and Attorney General Pam Bondi offered additional clarification.

A reporter confronted Bondi regarding the missing minute from the surveillance video taken outside Epstein’s cell.

Bondi replied, “In February, I did an interview on FOX. It [has] been getting a lot of attention because I said — I was asked a question about the client list. My response was, it’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed. Meaning the file along with the J.F.K. And M.L.K. Files. That’s what I meant.”

As for the surveillance glitch: “The minute missing from the video — we released the video showing... the video was not conclusive, but the evidence prior to it was showing he committed suicide,” Bondi said.

The DOJ’s newly released footage — reportedly from August 9, 2019 — was supposed to close the book on the case. But it may have done just the opposite.

According to federal authorities, the footage from the now-closed Metropolitan Correctional Center showed no one entering or exiting the cell block where Epstein was held between 10:40 p.m. and 6:30 a.m.

But observant viewers were quick to point out a disturbing gap: one full minute, completely missing.

The timestamp jumps directly from 11:58:59 p.m. to 11:59:59 p.m., leaving 59 unaccounted seconds — a digital black hole during the precise window when Epstein is believed to have died.

That single missing minute has now reignited speculation that the official story is anything but complete.
