U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that all files of former financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released and that the documents list more than 300 well-known names.
Bondi claims that no record was withheld “because of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity,” Fox News reported.
In a letter dated Saturday, she announced that all of Epstein’s files were released in accordance with the Document Transparency Act.
Fox News obtained the letter addressed to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, Congressman Dick Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio, and Congressman Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland.
The letter contains a list of more than 300 well-known names, including U.S. President Donald Trump, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, British Prince Prince Harry, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, actor Woody Allen, Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg, singer Kurt Cobain and Bruce Springsteen.
Some of the mentioned names had extensive direct contact via email with Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, while others are mentioned in parts of the document (including press coverage) that at first glance are not related to matters concerning Epstein and Maxwell, the letter states.
The document lists a wide range of material, including information on organizations and networks alleged to be connected to Epstein’s trafficking and financial operations in corporate, nonprofit, academic and governmental spheres, as well as internal emails, memos and Department of Justice meeting notes on whether to file charges, decline or continue investigations.
The documents also include records related to the potential destruction or concealment of relevant material and documentation concerning Epstein’s detention and death, including incident reports, witness interviews and medical examiner and autopsy records.
Individuals whose names were redacted due to sensitivity are not included, the letter states, adding that the redaction process was extensive, including consultations with victims and their attorneys.
Epstein’s brother accuses U.S. government of covering up murder
Mark Epstein, the brother of convicted American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in a prison cell in New York City on August 10, 2019, today accused the U.S. Department of Justice of covering up his murder.
“I now know that he was murdered,” Mark Epstein said, making serious accusations against the U.S. administration in an interview published today by television BFM.
After Jeffrey Epstein was found hanged in his cell in a New York prison on August 10, 2019, Mark Epstein went to the scene to identify his brother’s body, accompanied by two medical examiners.
“After the autopsy they said they could not conclude that it was suicide because everything too closely resembled a murder. In the initial death certificate, under ‘cause of death,’ the wording was ‘pending further investigation,’” Mark Epstein explains.
However, he says that a few days later the autopsy results were released, according to which Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell.
The brother of the deceased sex offender today says he is convinced that “Jeffrey knew too much.”
“At the time of the 2016 election, when Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were competing, Jeffrey said: ‘If I said what I know about those two candidates, the election would have to be annulled.’ I accuse the Department of Justice of covering up Jeffrey’s murder,” Mark Epstein told BFM.
The French television notes that he is not the only one publicly making such a claim and states that on February 13, in The Telegraph, Dr. Michael Baden, one of the doctors who, as an observer representing the Epstein family, was present at Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy, said that the cause of his death should be subject to renewed investigation.
“I think his death was most likely caused by strangulation pressure rather than hanging. Given all the information currently available, a deeper investigation into the cause and circumstances of death is justified,” the doctor told the British newspaper.
Mark Epstein believes, as he says, that the release of files related to Epstein represents a “diversion.”
“I think all of this is partly a diversion to prevent people’s interest in the fact that he was murdered,” said Jeffrey Epstein’s brother.
Mark Epstein also states that an independent investigation into his brother’s death was conducted, which led to the conclusion that he was murdered, and that the results of that investigation will, as he announced in today’s interview, be published in a few months.
