A 2020 email unearthed from the Justice Department's 3.5 million Epstein files shows a DOJ attorney referring to Jeffrey Epstein's death as a "murder," contradicting the official suicide ruling. Epstein was found dead in his cell on August 10, 2019, and Chief Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson ruled it a suicide six days later, despite oddities surrounding the circumstances. An Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of New York wrote that the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner had signed a confidentiality agreement "in connection with the investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Epstein." This reference came nearly a year after the suicide ruling. The revelation occurred during Trump's first term and conflicts with a DOJ memo released last year concluding Epstein died by suicide. Journalists expressed shock at the discovery, with critics noting Trump's DOJ was investigating the death as a murder in 2020.
