"The family of a former top Clinton advisor who admitted Jeffrey Epstein to the White House multiple times during his presidency is fighting to keep photos and 'other illustrative content' of his death from being released to the public, DailyMail.com can reveal. Mark Middleton, who served as special assistant to President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, died in his home state of Arkansas in early May at the age of 59, his family announced last month. The family did not disclose the cause of death at the time but authorities later confirmed the former White House official took his own life with a self-inflicted gunshot. Now, Middleton's relatives have gone to court to stop police and the coroner from releasing 'any media content' relating to the scene of his death to the public. In a request for an injunction on May 23, they argued that keeping the footage and files sealed would halt a proliferation of 'unsubstantiated conspiracy theories'. After the petition was filed, Perry County Sheriff Scott Montgomery denied DailyMail.com'sA request for any of his paperwork on the case, which would include the police report and written files, even though they do not contain any graphic images.
