Syria’s Assad claims Jeffrey Epstein didn’t commit suicide

The "Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself” meme appears to have now gone international.

Syrian President Bashar Assad, in an interview with Russian state TV Thursday, waded into the bizarre viral craze by offering his own take on what happened to the convicted pedophile inside his Manhattan federal prison cell in August.

"American billionaire Jeffrey Epstein was killed several weeks ago, they said he had committed suicide in jail,” Newsweek quoted Assad as telling the TASS Russian News Agency. "However, he was killed because he knew a lot of vital secrets connected with very important people in the British and American regimes, and possibly in other countries as well."

Assad’s unsolicited take on Epstein came when he was asked for his reaction to the death of James Le Mesurier, the founder of the White Helmets humanitarian volunteer group, which performed emergency response functions in Syria. Le Mesurier was discovered dead early Monday in Turkey.

Assad's a guy whose reputation for offing his opposition is well-known. I'd say it's worthwhile to pay attention to him on this one. The rest of the story is found here: https://www.foxnews.com/world/syria-assad-jeffrey-esptain-killed-speculation

OTOH, respected homicide detective Mark Fuhrman (O.J. Simpson case, among others) cries B.S. and gives good reasons. Says people are silly to believe Epstein didn't off himself.
