Overview

• The Department of Justice and FBI issued memos this week affirming that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide and that no evidence supports the existence of a secret “client list.”
• In a NewsNation interview, Mark Epstein said he “laughed at how stupid it was” when the Trump administration announced its final ruling on his brother’s death.
• Epstein challenged FBI Director Kash Patel’s credentials to declare suicide, noting Patel lacks medical or forensic pathology qualifications.
• He pointed to Dr. Kristin Roman and Dr. Michael Baden’s autopsy assessments, which he says are more consistent with homicide than suicide.
• The administration’s conclusions have drawn public criticism, with figures such as Elon Musk calling for the full release of Epstein files.
