How did Jeffrey Epstein die from? His brother feeds speculation about a killing. Trump ponderes Ghislaine Maxwell familiar with the pardon of the Epstein.
The Jeffrey Epstein case is currently concerned with US policy. It is about the guest list of the convicted sex offender and his proximity to US President Donald Trump. Epstein died in US custody in 2019 at the age of 66. Official cause of death: death by hanging.
His brother Mark Epstein doubts this. “It was not a suicide-it was a targeted murder,” he now told the “Bild” newspaper.
There have been many assumptions around the Jeffrey Epstein’s death for years. Trump’s base in particular believes in a targeted killing and a conspiracy theory to protect US Democrats connected with Epstein.
Mark Epstein himself commissioned an independent pathologist in 2019 with the examination of his brother’s body. According to “picture”, the discovered three broken neck bones, a break pattern that does not fit the official cause of death. “Because everything was more of a homicide!” Said Mark Epstein. Nevertheless, forensic medicine decided on suicide.
According to Mark Epstein’s information, his brother was sitting in an unlocked cell on the night of death. His guess: “Someone could easily have walked in, walking the murder and going back into their own cell.” However, fellow prisoners were not asked.

A week ago, deputy Minister of Justice Todd Blanche spoke to Maxwell in prison. Blanche had said that he wanted to talk to her about possible other participants in the crimes of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell’s lawyer David Markus confirmed the relocation of his client, but rejected another comment.
US President Donald Trump said on Friday in an interview by the US cable broadcaster Newsmax when asked about a possible pardon of Maxwell: “I should do that, but nobody asked me to do so.” He did not know anything about the case, added Trump.
Documents in the Epstein investigations should be published for the meeting between Maxwell and the Vice-Justice Minister that he believes that Blanche only wanted to make sure that no innocent people would be harmed.
