Newly released FBI documents reveal Jeffrey Epstein’s brother officially accused President Trump of authorizing his brother’s murder in federal custody, delivering one of the most explosive allegations ever recorded against a sitting president. Brother’s Explosive Murder Allegation Against Trump Mark Epstein submitted a written tip through the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center on February 22, 2023, stating he believed Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in his Manhattan jail cell because he was about to “name names.” The tip explicitly stated Mark’s belief that “President Trump authorized his murder,” suggesting a White House-level conspiracy to silence Jeffrey. This extraordinary allegation remained buried in FBI files until late 2025, when the DOJ released it as part of ongoing Epstein document transparency requirements. The FBI marked Mark’s tip as non-emergency with no active threat to life, and there is no public indication that the Bureau found evidence corroborating his allegation. Despite the gravity of accusing a former president of authorizing murder in federal custody, authorities continue to classify Epstein’s 2019 death as suicide by hanging, according to the NYC medical examiner’s determination. Documented Trump-Epstein Connection Raises Questions The allegation gains significance given Trump’s documented social and business relationship with Epstein throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Documents show Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet at least eight times between 1993 and 1996, with Ghislaine Maxwell present on some flights. This relationship occurred during the period when Epstein was building his network of powerful connections that would later fuel suspicions about who might have wanted him silenced. Trump later publicly distanced himself from Epstein, claiming they had a “falling out” and denying knowledge of his crimes. However, Epstein’s July 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges involving minors raised the stakes for potential revelations about his network of powerful associates. His subsequent death in custody removed a central witness who possessed damaging information about numerous high-profile figures. Federal Custody Failures Enable Conspiracy Theories Epstein’s death occurred at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, a facility later exposed for severe security and staffing failures. Investigations uncovered guard failures, falsified logs, camera malfunctions, and poor preservation of the cell as a potential crime scene. These institutional breakdowns provided fertile ground for conspiracy theories about whether influential figures orchestrated Epstein’s death to prevent damaging testimony. The persistent “Epstein didn’t kill himself” narrative reflects widespread public distrust in official explanations, particularly given Epstein’s extensive connections to political and business elites. Mark Epstein’s formal FBI tip represents the most direct accusation yet from Jeffrey’s immediate family, elevating suspicions from anonymous conspiracy communities to documented allegations within official law enforcement records. This development undermines public confidence in federal institutions’ ability to protect high-risk detainees and conduct thorough investigations of powerful figures.
