Newly released FBI documents reveal Jeffrey Epstein’s brother directly accused President Trump of authorizing his brother’s murder in federal custody to prevent explosive testimony about powerful elites.
Story Highlights
- Mark Epstein filed FBI tip in February 2023 claiming Trump “authorized” Jeffrey’s murder
- Brother alleged Jeffrey was killed to prevent him from “naming names” of powerful associates
- FBI classified tip as non-emergency with no active threat, found no corroborating evidence
- Documents released in late 2025 as part of DOJ transparency requirements
Brother’s Explosive FBI Allegation
Mark Epstein submitted a written tip to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center on February 22, 2023, making the extraordinary claim that his brother Jeffrey was murdered in his Manhattan jail cell. The tip explicitly stated Mark’s belief that “President Trump authorised his murder” because Jeffrey was about to expose powerful figures in his network. This allegation remained buried in FBI files for nearly two years before being released publicly in late 2025.
The FBI classified Mark’s tip as non-emergency with no ongoing threat to life, suggesting agents found no immediate credibility or evidence supporting his claims. Despite the sensational nature of the accusation, federal authorities continue to maintain Jeffrey Epstein’s August 10, 2019 death was suicide by hanging, as determined by the NYC medical examiner. No criminal charges or reopened investigations have been announced in connection with Mark’s allegations.
Trump’s Historical Epstein Connections Under Scrutiny
The newly released files confirm Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet at least eight times between 1993 and 1996, with Ghislaine Maxwell present on some flights. These documented connections provide context for Mark Epstein’s suspicions, though Trump has repeatedly denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and claimed they had a “falling out” years before the 2019 arrest.
Trump and his representatives have categorically denied any involvement in Epstein’s death, calling such claims “unfounded and false.” The White House has maintained these document releases would not substantiate conspiracy theories involving the former president. These denials align with Trump’s consistent position distancing himself from Epstein’s criminal activities while acknowledging their past social acquaintance.
Federal Transparency Raises More Questions
The DOJ’s ongoing release of “Epstein files” aims to increase transparency but paradoxically fuels additional speculation about unresolved aspects of the case. The latest document tranche includes references to 10 potential co-conspirators across Florida, Boston, New York City, Connecticut, and Ohio. However, victims’ advocates criticize these releases as incomplete and unsatisfying, leaving critical questions unanswered about Epstein’s network and death circumstances.
The Metropolitan Correctional Center’s documented security failures during Epstein’s custody continue undermining public confidence in federal institutions. Guard failures, falsified logs, and camera malfunctions created an environment where conspiracy theories thrive, regardless of official findings. Mark Epstein’s formal FBI tip transforms family suspicions into documented allegations, even without evidentiary support, potentially influencing future political and legal proceedings.
