Jeffrey Epstein's brother said he 'laughed at how stupid' the Trump administration's handling of the 'Epstein files' has been and revealed he doesn't believe their assertion that the financier's death was a suicide.
The notorious pedophile's brother Mark told NewsNation's Chris Cuomo on Tuesday that he was not convinced by the White House's memo this week that said there is no evidence Epstein was murdered or kept a long-suspected 'client list.'
'Every time they say something or do something to try to quash the fact that he was most likely murdered, they just put their foot further down their mouths,' Mark Epstein said.
He particularly singled out FBI Director Kash Patel for his role in the Epstein files' release, noting how he U-turned from an ardent skeptic over Epstein's death to now insisting there was no 'cover up.'
Mark pointed to Patel's citing of his career as a prosecutor when he said that 'you know a suicide when you see it', despite Patel having no medical degree or qualifications as a forensic pathologist.
'The question that popped into my mind was, first of all, how many suicides has he seen? Is he a forensic pathologist? Does he have a medical degree?' Mark questioned.
'Does he have a certificate that he passed a CPR course? Does he have a Boy Scout merit badge for first aid? What is he basing his expertise on?'
Mark said that Patel's assertion over Epstein's death in 2019 contradicts what Dr. Kristin Roman, a medical examiner for New York City who conducted the autopsy on Epstein, said at the time.
'She came out of the autopsy and said she couldn’t call it a suicide because it looked too much like a homicide,' he claimed.
Dr. Michael Baden, who was hired by Mark Epstein at the time to be present at the autopsy, said at the time that Epstein suffered injuries that were more consistent with a homicide than a suicide.
He said Epstein had small burst capillaries in his face, mouth and eyes, and also had three distinct fractures on his jaw. 'I have never seen three fractures like this in a suicidal hanging,' he said, per CBS News.
Mark Epstein noted on NewsNation on Tuesday: 'Baden, who was there on my behalf, who witnessed the autopsy, also concurred that it looked more like a homicide than a suicide.'
'Now, was Kash Patel in that autopsy room? No,' he continued.
'Was Kash Patel in the prison when they found Jeffrey? No, I don’t think so, and if he was there that raises an even bigger question.'
