Jeffrey Epstein's brother claims released suicide note is a 'forgery': report

Source: The Independent

Friday 08 May 2026 19:34 EDT


Jeffrey Epstein’s brother believes his brother’s purported suicide note, released this week in court, is fake.

Mark Epstein, speaking with The National Enquirer, called the document a “forgery.” “I’ve known Jeff all my life. If he was going to kill himself, if he was going to write a suicide note, he would’ve written it ‘to somebody,’ not just a blanket statement saying goodbye,” Epstein said. “I don’t buy that.”

Jeffrey Epstein’s former cellmate claims to have discovered the document in July 2019, after Epstein was found unresponsive but alive in his cell. Epstein died by suicide the following month.

“It’s bulls**t and let me explain why,” Epstein’s brother added in the National Enquirer interview. “In the July incident, Jeffrey’s cellmate attacked him, he reported it as such, he told his lawyer as such, and then he recanted that story saying he couldn’t remember what happened because he was fearful of retaliation.”

The CME of NYC is an appointed position by the Mayor. There were enough important people involved that pressure on the CME is certainly not out of the question.

A professional analysis by a handwriting expert is needed.

If it’s a forgery they just won’t subject the letter to an analysis.That alone will tell us it’s propaganda and that someone needed to prop up their story.

I guess the Epstein Distraction Undeclared War wasn't victorious enough to see unbridled jingoism drowning the files out.

How about the Pentagon Always Out Of Focus UFO Photos Epstein Distraction Release?

Someone posted that this “suicide note” sounds strangely like a Trump tweet (refuse to call the demented ramblings he spews on his silly site “truths”).

I have to agree.

I very much believe that Trump had Epstein assassinated. He knew entirely too much and Trump had him eliminated.
