In August of 2019, Jeffrey Epstein “committed suicide” in federal lockup, during the Trump administration. One day after his death, Richard Khan (Jeffrey’s long-time accountant, now Executor of his Estate) was photographed taking a big blue bag out of Jeffrey’s Manhattan home. What was in the bag? Coulda been a birthday book? Tapes? Pictures? Who knows?
Mark Epstein has never believed his brother committed suicide. He commissioned a forensic pathologist to be present at the autopsy. Both experts, according to Mark, concluded homicide was more likely than suicide. So Mark has been publicly pissed off. For a long time.
But Mark probably couldn’t be sure who killed his brother.
Trump famously campaigned in 2023 on promises to release the Epstein files and put guys like Kash Patel and Bongino in the government to make sure they are released.
That gets us to 2025. AG Bondi smugly announced she has the Epstein list on her desk, and she made a public scene, promising to release the Epstein List and Files.
But . . . Something changes in March. In March 2025, DOJ and FBI are put on 24-hour shifts, and told to flag anything that involves Donald Trump. That review ended in mid-April. Bondi then informed Trump he was in the Epstein Files.
The result of that review was like a record scratch. On July 6, DOJ and the FBI release a memo saying “nooooope, nothing in the Epstein files.” And, in a detail Mark Epstein surely noticed, the memo flatly declares that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.
At this point, Mark Epstein is probably pretty certain that the Trump Administration is covering up his brother’s murder.
On July 8, people notice that there is one minute missing from the Epstein jail video. By July 15, analysts have determined that there are actually three minutes missing from the Epstein jail video, and that the video is likely tampered with.
By this point Mark Epstein is probably boiling over with rage.
Just two days later, on July 17, Rupert Murdoch’s WSJ, of all f’n outlets, published the Trump/Epstein Birthday Book/Trump doodle-poem story. Now, who, you might ask, might be a beneficiary of the Epstein Estate and have access to the Birthday Book? Well, maybe Jeffrey’s brother, Mark, who believes Trump had his brother murdered in prison and covered it up sloppily by erasing three minutes of the video? Bradly Edwards, an attorney who represented Epstein victims, recently said in an interview that he is sure the Epstein Estate has the Birthday Book, and congress could subpoena it.
Anyway, we are getting to the part about why all this may matter. On July 18 Trump sues the WSJ. But the WSJ doesn’t stop. Which is weird. If all they had was this one piece of evidence, why continue an onslaught? On July 23, the WSJ breaks the story that Bondi told Trump he is in the Epstein files back in April or May.
Since then, Mark Epstein has been very public about how every time the Administration opens its mouth on the Epstein Files, they are “putting their leg further down their throat.” And how “that video is bullshit” (referring to the Epstein jail video released by the Trump Administration). And that “they’re holding things back.” And how “Jefferey said, he said he had the dirt on Donald Trump.”
All of this suggests its possible that Mark Epstein, a likely beneficiary of the Epstein Estate, a guy who may have access to the contents of that blue bag Richard Khan grabbed from Jeffery’s Manhattan home a day after Jeffery died, and a guy who thinks Donald Trump murdered his brother, has a ton more evidence to release, and all the motivation in the world to release it. Which explains why Rupert Murdoch didn’t have the slightest hesitation ignoring Trump’s pleas, and going ahead with the Epstein/Trump Birthday Book story.
Because maybe Rupert Murdoch’s WSJ has Mark Epstein, and whatever was in that blue bag, as their source.
