Jeffrey Epstein’s brother accused President Donald Trump of being involved in the late convicted sex offender’s death in a tip sent to the FBI, according to a bombshell email revealed in the Department of Justice’s release of Epstein files.

On February 22, 2023, Mark Epstein submitted an online tip to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center alleging that Epstein was murdered in his prison cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York in 2019 following his conviction on child sex offenses, rather than dying by suicide.

The disgraced financier’s brother

You mean convicted pedophile sex trafficker. Let's not mince words here.

The article does not reveal any actual new facts, only that Mark Epstein agrees with the general public that Trump and Epstein were close, and that Mark thinks he had him killed. No new evidence is provided for this.

So basically this is all a bit of a nothing-burger.

Hardly a "bombshell email".

I could have tipped them off about that, and I'm in Texas

If you weren't in Texas then maybe they would take your tip seriously.
