Trump accused of role in Epstein's death in explosive email sent to FBI, documents reveal

Source: The Independent

Saturday 07 February 2026 14:48 EST


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 Independent confirmed in a phone call with Mark Epstein on Saturday that he submitted the tip, which contained two spelling errors. As seen in the files, it was then forwarded by an unidentified Threat Intake Examiner at the FBI NTOC to a special agent.

The disgraced financier’s brother included his personal contact information and IP address in the submission, both of which are redacted in the publicly released file. “Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in his jail cell,” the tip read. “I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Presient (sic) Trump authorized is (sic) murder.”

And NO ONE is surprised to read that. Just imagine if instead of trump, it said Obama. EVERYONE would be shocked. There are myriad reasons why no one is surprised.

unobserved by security cameras, and then was secretly buried on Trump’s golf course? Totally normal! Nothing to see here, folks!

Wait until Abe's ghost gets out his old axe.



It is said that Dick Nixon, in his insanity, wandered the halls of the White House, talking to portraits of past presidents.

TRUMP DEFACES THEM.

buried with her.

they should have her coffin opened after tRump is dead to get the real answers. Legally they can do that and if tRump is dead he can't take revenge out on them.

He is devoid of any moral and operates like a mafia Don. Even before being president where he obviously ordered strikes, neglected the covid response, shutdown usaid, etc.. all of that leading to deaths.

His past as a crooked businessman is shady enough that he must have had resorted to getting rid of people.

He probably had already shot someone on 5th Ave, he couldn't hold it in any longer. He is a horrible man. His level of ugly will be his legacy.

Start with Covid.

Out of curiosity I Googled, "Why doesn't the Mafia kill tRump?". I thought I would get a warning that I was being reported to the FBI or that they would not reply since it was "kooky" but they did reply. I don't agree with it though. They said this Mafia wouldn't kill him since they don't kill their own. I've seen enough movies to know otherwise. The Mafia definitely kills each other.

In fact, the real Goodfellas dudes did that. The guy who played Pauli was having an affair with Henry's wife Karen while he was in jail and Tommy tried to rape her. He was not happy about that and informed a different Mafia family of stuff Tommy did for real knowing the Mafia would take him out, which is what happened. This was not in the film. He wasn't shot while being "made", he disappeared in 1974.
