Last week, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark claimed the late convicted sex offender had dirt on Donald Trump and the Clintons.
“‘If I said what I know about both candidates, they’d have to cancel the election.’ That’s what Jeffrey told me in 2016,” Mark Epstein told the New York Post, referring to Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Donald Trump, and especially Bill Clinton, have seen their names come up numerous times in unsealed court documents from the lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre in 2017 against Jeffrey Epstein’s former confidante Ghislaine Maxwell.
This week, again speaking to the New York Post, Mark Epstein claims that federal authorities have been covering up important details surrounding the mysterious death of his brother.
Somehow, despite being the most notorious prisoner in America at the time, Jeffrey Epstein was able to not only fashion a bedsheet into a noose, but hang himself from the cell’s bunk bed. This despite cameras (which weren’t recording), prison guards (who were asleep), and orders from prison psychologists that he have a cellmate (he was alone in his cell after his cellmate had been transferred less than 24 hours before his death) and should be constantly monitored.
When he was found in his cell by a prison guard, Epstein’s “buttocks approximately 1 inch to 1 inch and a half off the floor,” according to the Department of Justice.
Following Jeffrey Epstein’s death, a 128 page report was compiled by the Department of Justice and a medical examiner ruled it a suicide. End of investigation.
That’s not good enough for a lot of people, including Epstein’s brother Mark.
For instance, why, after two medical examiners who were present for Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy, one sent by Mark to independently oversee the procedure, ruling the cause of death as pending did the New York Chief Medical Examiner later change it to suicide?
When asked, she claimed it was because she found “additional evidence,” but never told anyone publicly what that evidence was.
In fact, Dr. Michael Baden, the medical examiner sent by Mark Epstein to oversee the procedure, said the damage done to Jeffrey Epstein was “extremely unusual in suicidal hangings” and is seen “much more commonly in homicidal strangulation.”
He also claimed, “I’ve not seen in 50 years where [those types of injuries] occurred in a suicidal hanging case.”
Also, no photo was taken of the Epstein’s body when he was found. EMTs at the scene were not interviewed. Hospital staff was not interviewed. And the 911 call made from the prison has never been released.
Epstein had been dead for anywhere from two to six hours, but he was still transferred to a hospital and placed in a hospital gown on a gurney.
Autopsy photos showed marks that were straight in the middle to lower portion of Epstein’s neck, not up near the jaw angling upwards.
“I only want to look at facts, but when we consider the facts available, we get more questions,” Mark Epstein told the Post.
“There appears to have been no investigation once it was ruled a suicide, they saw no reason to dig deeper.
“It seems like a cover-up. Why can’t I find his pre-hospital care report and why can’t I get the 911 call?”
Video footage that was recorded the night of his brother’s death has never been made public despite Freedom of Information Act requests and the two prison guards who allegedly slept while it happened have never spoken publicly, nor have their identities ever been released.
If federal authorities are, in fact, covering up these key details, what else are they hiding?
