The documents in relation to the investigation of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are slowly being released by the Department of Justice. One of those documents is the bombshell revelation that Epstein's brother, Mark, believed President Donald Trump "authorized" the death.
Mark Epstein met with the FBI in 2023 and told them that his brother was about to start revealing names of the men who knew about his trafficking, The Miami Herald reported on Tuesday.
The tip sent to the FBI came in on February 22, 2023.
“Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in his jail cell,” it reads. “I have reason to believe he was killed because he was about to name names. I believe Presient [sic] Trump authorized is [sic] murder.”
The documents detailing whether Mark Epstein spoke directly with the FBI haven't been uncovered yet.
Trump's Justice Department claimed in a statement that many of the allegations in the cache of documents released are “untrue and sensationalist claims."
Trump denies all wrongdoing.
