Mark Epstein disputes Kash Patel's confirmation of Jeffrey Epstein's suicide, fueling conspiracy theories surrounding his death in a New York jail in 2019.
Mark Epstein, the brother of Jeffrey Epstein, has publicly challenged the confirmation by Kash Patel, a former FBI director, that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide.
Mark Epstein stated that Patel was not present at the time of his brother's death and did not see the body. He told Daily Mail, "Patel has no idea what the f**k he's taking about."
Kash Patel defended his view in a Fox interview, stating, "...you know a suicide when you see one, and that’s what that was." He cited his experience working within the prison system.
Dan Bongino supported Patel's assertion, claiming to have reviewed the entire case file and finding no evidence to suggest otherwise. He wrote on social media, "Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There’s no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise."
Despite the official report and these confirmations, some MAGA supporters continue to promote conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's death, suggesting he was murdered to protect powerful individuals.
