Epstein’s Butler, Brother Dispute Suicide Ruling

Jeffrey Epstein's longtime butler, Valdson Vieira Cotrin, has publicly stated that he is certain Epstein did not kill himself, insisting the financier was optimistic about securing bail and 'loved life too much' to commit suicide. Cotrin, who worked for Epstein for 18 years, claims Epstein was in good spirits shortly before his death and feared for his own safety after the incident. He also alleged Epstein was offered a job by Donald Trump in 2016, though there is no evidence supporting this and Trump says he ended contact in 2004. Cotrin claimed high-profile figures such as Prince Andrew frequently visited Epstein's properties and raised suspicions about other deaths linked to Epstein's circle, including Virginia Giuffre. These revelations have intensified renewed calls to release the full Epstein investigation files, said to implicate notable public figures. Epstein's brother, Mark, has also publicly questioned the official suicide verdict, adding to the ongoing controversy.
