Epstein’s Brother Blasts FBI Director Kash Patel Over Suicide Ruling

Says Official ‘Has No Idea What the F— He’s Talking About’

Jeffrey Epstein’s brother is refusing to accept the official narrative that the disgraced financier died by suicide, launching a furious rebuke of FBI Director Kash Patel for dismissing speculation of foul play.

“[He has] no idea what the f—k he’s talking about,” Mark Epstein told the Daily Mail, reacting to Patel’s recent statements rejecting theories that Epstein was murdered in his jail cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. “He wasn’t there, he didn’t see the body, he didn’t see the autopsy.”

“It would be a lot easier for me if I thought it was suicide,” Epstein said, “but there’s a long list of things that point away from it.”

His sharp comments follow a Fox News interview in which Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino both dismissed claims of a cover-up, asserting Epstein clearly took his own life. “As someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who’s been in that prison system… you know a suicide when you see one, and that’s what that was,” Patel said on Sunday Morning Futures. Bongino, appearing alongside him, added, “He killed himself. I have seen the whole file.”

Epstein was found dead on August 10, 2019, with bedsheets tied around his neck, just over a month after his arrest on federal sex trafficking charges. His death was officially ruled a suicide.

But Mark Epstein remains unconvinced. “There are six levels of security in that prison before you get to that tier,” he said. “But there were 11 or 12 inmates on the tier. They would not have to go in or out of the tier to kill somebody in their cell. Supposedly cell doors were left locked. There’s your answer. Somebody could’ve got into Jeff’s cell and killed him.”
