Jeffrey Epstein’s brother reveals why he refuses to believe death was suicide despite Pam Bondi claims
Jeffrey Epstein’s brother said he ‘laughed at how stupid’ the Trump administration’s handling of the ‘Epstein files’ has been and revealed he doesn’t believe their assertion that the financier’s death was a suicide.
The notorious pedophile’s brother Mark told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on Tuesday that he was not convinced by the White House’s memo this week that said there is no evidence Epstein was murdered or kept a long-suspected ‘client list.’
‘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,’ Mark Epstein said.
He particularly singled out FBI Director Kash Patel for his role in the Epstein files’ release, noting how he U-turned from an ardent skeptic over Epstein’s death to now insisting there was no ‘cover up.’
Mark pointed to Patel’s citing of his career as a prosecutor when he said that ‘you know a suicide when you see it’, despite Patel having no medical degree or qualifications as a forensic pathologist.
‘The question that popped into my mind was, first of all, how many suicides has he seen? Is he a forensic pathologist? Does he have a medical degree?’ Mark questioned.
‘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?’

Trump’s administration issued a memo this week claiming that the notorious pedophile had ‘no client list’ and ruled that his mysterious death in 2019 was a suicide
Mark said that Patel’s assertion over Epstein’s death in 2019 contradicts what Dr. Kristin Roman, a medical examiner for New York City who conducted the autopsy on Epstein, said at the time.
‘She came out of the autopsy and said she couldn’t call it a suicide because it looked too much like a homicide,’ he claimed.
Dr. Michael Baden, who was hired by Mark Epstein at the time to be present at the autopsy, said at the time that Epstein suffered injuries that were more consistent with a homicide than a suicide.
He said Epstein had small burst capillaries in his face, mouth and eyes, and also had three distinct fractures on his jaw. ‘I have never seen three fractures like this in a suicidal hanging,’ he said, per CBS News.
Mark Epstein noted on NewsNation on Tuesday: ‘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,’ he continued.
‘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.’
Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have come under mounting scrutiny for their handling of the ‘Epstein files’ release
The brother of the infamous financier is not alone in doubting the White House’s stance on Epstein’s death, with former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson also wading into the controversy on Tuesday.
Carlson said he believes the government is ‘covering up’ the Epstein files to protect US and Israeli intelligence services, and said it was ‘obvious’ that Bondi was ‘covering up crimes’.
Amid mounting scrutiny over Trump’s handling of the scandal, Carlson said he is not convinced that the president was covering his own alleged ties to Epstein, and felt the reason is hinged on espionage.
‘I don’t think he’s that guy, actually,’ Carlson said of Trump. ‘I don’t think he likes creepy sex stuff.’
Rather, Carlson floated a more sinister plot to protect the US and Israeli intelligence agencies was driving Trump’s response.
‘The only other explanation that I can think of… is that intel services are at the very center of this story, U.S. and Israeli, and they’re being protected,’ he said.
The issue of Trump’s handling of the Epstein files led the president to snap at a reporter on Tuesday when they asked Bondi about the Justice Department’s internal review of the documents.
Trump brushed off fury from his MAGA base over the abrupt conclusion of the Epstein probe this week, and accused the reporter who quizzed Bondi of ‘desecrating’ the deadly Texas flood tragedy.
‘Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?’ Trump lamented to reporters present for his six-month Cabinet meeting. ‘This guy’s been talked about for years.’
