Was Jeffrey Epstein assassinated for political reasons?

Jeffrey Epstein, a financier convicted of sex trafficking, died in August 2019 in a New York federal jail while awaiting trial on further charges. The official autopsy ruled his death a suicide by hanging, but anomalies like malfunctioning cameras, absent guards, and neck fractures more common in homicidal strangulation fueled theories of murder. Recent DOJ file releases, including claims by Epstein's brother Mark that Trump authorized a killing to prevent naming names, alongside speculation of intelligence involvement, sustain public skepticism without conclusive proof.
