Trump DOJ Email Calling Epstein’s Death ‘Murder’ Surfaces
A Justice Department attorney appears to have called Jeffrey Epstein’s death a “murder” in a newly unsealed email from 2020.
The email, uncovered from the latest release of DOJ files on the convicted sex offender, shows an individual identifying themselves as an “AUSA in EDNY”—likely an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of New York—referring to a supposed “investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Epstein.”
Dated June 11, 2020, when President Donald Trump was in his first term, the email joins a string of revelations that appear to clash with the official ruling that Epstein’s death in a New York City jail cell in 2019 was a suicide.
“I’m an AUSA in EDNY and am working on an investigation into the death of an inmate at the Brooklyn MDC,” the email reads. The DOJ has redacted both the sender and the recipient.
“The OCME told me that it signed a confidentiality agreement in connection with the investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Epstein. We were hoping to extend a similar agreement and I wanted to see if you could share the agreement (or a boilerplate version of it).” (Read more from “Trump DOJ Email Calling Epstein’s Death ‘Murder’ Surfaces” HERE)
