Trump accused of role in Epstein’s death in explosive email to the FBI

Warning: This article contains discussion of suicide which some readers may find distressing.

With over three million pages, images and videos relating to Jeffrey Epstein released at the end of January, there have been a large number of claims come to light.

Disturbing photos appeared so show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor ‘on all fours over a woman’, while emails penned by the financier claimed Bill Gates had ‘caught an STD from Russian girls’.

And now it appears Donald Trump has been accused of playing a part in the death of Epstein.

An explosive email apparently sent by the late sex offender’s brother, Mark, made strong claims about ‘murder’.

Officially, Epstein killed himself while being held in a New York prison in 2019. The 66-year-old American was facing charges that he sexually abused and trafficked dozens of underage girls. The released files relate to the criminal investigations.

Trump was once a friend of Epstein but claims to have ended that friendship decades ago. In the latest release, the BBC reports Trump is mentioned hundreds of times and has been accused of multiple sexual abuse allegations in a list compiled by the FBI - although these tips have not yet been verified. Trump strongly denies any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein, but Mark believes the US president is responsible for his brother’s death.

On 22 February 2023, as confirmed with him by The Independent, the man submitted an online tip to the FBI’s National Theatre Operations Centre, alleging that Epstein was murdered in his prison cell.

This was seen in the files and was forwarded to an unidentified Threat Intake Examiner at the FBI NTOC to a special agent.

Mark had included his personal contact information and IP address in the submission (redacted in the release) and added ‘feel free to contact me’ in the tip.

It read: “Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in his jail cell.

“I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Presient (sic) Trump authorized is (sic) murder.”

He explained that his connection to Epstein was ‘obvious’ and added that he was not contacted to follow-up in the claim.

Mark told NewsNation last month that ‘Jeffrey was murdered’ as he claimed ‘more autopsy facts’ would be released this month to prove it.

“There are only three ways to die in prison,” he continued. “Suicide, natural causes or murder. And Jeff was murdered. I want to know who killed him and on whose behalf?”

He has previously claimed Epstein had ‘dirt’ on Trump, despite his brother never directly sharing details.

LADbible has contacted the White House for comment.
