Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein's brother, has another bombshell claim amid the document dumps in Virginia Guiffre's lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell and Bill Clinton's decision to lay low at a Mexican resort with California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Appearing on NewsNation's “On Balance with Leland Vittert,” Epstein's brother accused former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr of engaging in a conspiracy involving his brother's death.
Mediaite notes that Epstein began by criticizing Barr for announcing that his brother died at New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center “from an apparent suicide” when it “wasn't really his position to do that.”
He continued, claiming that the investigation into his brother's death had been thoroughly botched:
Epstein pushed back against Barr's narrative that his brother's death was the result of “a perfect storm of screw-ups,” telling NewsNation to anchor Leland Vittert, “Yes, there were screw-ups, but that doesn't mean that my brother was, you know, committed suicide because of screw-ups. There's a lot of reasons, there are a number of reasons why he would not commit suicide then.”
He told Vittert that while his brother had revealed “he had dirt on the then-presidential candidates,” former President Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, “he didn't tell me what that dirt was, and I don't know.”
Epstein insisted, “I wasn't involved with his day-to-day life so I don't know what he knows, but to go back to your initial question, why? I mean, you'd have to ask Bill Barr. If he was covering this up, which it appears to be, who was he covering it up for? Who was Bill Barr protecting?”
One of the latest tranches of unsealed documents in the civil case includes correspondence from one Epstein accuser alleging that the suspected sex trafficker secretly recorded Prince Andrew, Sir Richard Branson, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump engaging in sexual activity.
The individual has since withdrawn her statements.
In the first tranche, Bill Clinton, previously referred to as “John Doe 36” in court filings, was identified more than 50 times.
All of the men deny knowing of any wrongdoing by Epstein when they associated with him.
