Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark accuses Bill Barr of covering up pedophile’s death and says Trump’s AG was ‘protecting someone’

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother slammed former Attorney General Bill Barr’s handling of the pedophile’s controversial death, accusing him of a “cover-up.”

Mark Epstein, 69, a real estate developer, took Barr to task for his infamous statement that there was a “perfect storm of mistakes” that led to Epstein’s apparent suicide in a Manhattan jail in August 2019.

“Yes, there were mistakes, but that doesn’t mean that my brother, you know, committed suicide because of mistakes,” he told from NewsNation Leland Vittert.

‘Why? I mean, you’d have to ask Bill Barr. If he was hiding this, which it appears to be, who was he covering it up for? Who protected Bill Barr?”

Barr, President Donald Trump’s attorney general from 2019 to 2020, came under intense scrutiny in the aftermath of Epstein’s death as it became clear that institutional flaws allowed him to escape justice.

Epstein was found hanged by the neck in his Manhattan jail cell, with a strip of orange sheet.

It was later revealed that he had been taken off suicide watch and housed alone against the procedure, had not been subject to regular checks and that the surveillance cameras were not working at the time.

In a widely publicized response, Barr said he was “appalled” by the situation and ordered an investigation, but concluded it was just a “perfect storm of mistakes.” Many wondered whether Epstein should be allowed to commit suicide to avoid embarrassing the great and the good he befriended from revelations at any criminal trial.

Others believe Epstein was murdered, with his death staged to look like a suicide.

Epstein’s brother has repeatedly called for further investigation into the financier’s death, repeating his call this week when he said there “doesn’t appear to have been much investigation at all.”

“Things like the EMTs and the medical staff at the hospital, none of them were ever questioned,” he continued. “They are always questioned, especially in high-profile cases.”

‘The question is what research has been done; there doesn’t seem to have been one.’

Numerous experts have spoken out in the years since Epstein’s death to cast doubt on the quick conclusion that it was suicide, a factor that Mark Epstein says continues to be overlooked by officials.

“The pathologist who did the autopsy and (a doctor) I had there both came out of the autopsy and said they couldn’t call it a suicide because it looked too much like murder,” he said.

‘There are a number of reasons for this.’

The doubt over Epstein’s death meant the official case was marked as “pending,” a process that typically takes weeks to turn around. However, Mark claimed that AG Barr abruptly intervened to officially rule it a suicide.

“It wasn’t really his position to do that,” he added.

When asked if he agreed with Barr’s assessment that the episode was a “perfect storm of errors,” Mark said, “Yes, there were errors, but that doesn’t mean that my brother, you know, committed suicide because of mistakes.’

“There are a number of reasons why he wouldn’t kill himself,” he said, noting that Epstein insisted on posting bail — reportedly one of the largest in U.S. history at about $150 million, before it was revoked — as proof of his plans to stay alive.

It has long been theorized that Epstein could have been secretly murdered by those hoping to silence him after his arrest, and Mark said his brother confided in him that he even had dirt on Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

“He had dirt on people, he told me in 2016 that he had dirt on the then presidential candidates,” he said. “He didn’t tell me what that dirt was.”

“I wasn’t involved in his day-to-day life, so I don’t know what he knows, but to get back to your original question: why? I mean, you’d have to ask Bill Barr.

“If he was covering this up, which it appears to be, then who was he covering it up for? Who protected Bill Barr?”

This isn’t the first time Mark Epstein has questioned his brother’s apparent suicide. He told the New York Post after the high-profile disclosure of the “Epstein files” that he was still searching for surveillance footage from his brother’s cell block on the night of his death. dead.

He said he just wants to “look at the facts,” adding: “When we look at the facts available, we get more questions.”

‘There appears to have been no investigation when the case was ruled a suicide, they saw no reason to dig deeper.

‘It seems like a cover-up. Why can’t I find his pre-hospital care report and why can’t I get the 911 call?’

In response to the recent and ongoing document dumps from a Manhattan court called the Epstein Files, Mark said he’s not sure what to think.

“I have nothing to do with that, you know, and it’s none of my business. What I’m worried about is the murder of my brother,” he said recentlyaccording to a local West Palm Beach outlet.

He claims the investigation into his brother’s death was “a cover-up.”

“I don’t think Bill Barr killed my brother. So who is he hiding from? That becomes a question, and he should be asked that too.’
