The FBI’s files on Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death show that the convicted sex offender was killed, contrary to the official account, according to historian Andrew Lownie.
Lownie, a British historian and author, told The Daily Beast Podcast that he has seen “internal FBI correspondence” stating that another inmate murdered Epstein.
Epstein, 66, was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges when he was found hanged in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City on Aug. 10, 2019.
A 2023 report by the Department of Justice determined that he died by suicide.
But questions about Epstein’s death have only grown amid scrutiny surrounding the government’s handling of the case, with many convinced that the well-connected financier was killed.
