In conversation with comedian Jim Norton and co-host Sam Roberts on SiriusXM radio, the president's eldest son questioned why Epstein, who had previously been on suicide watch before his death, was not surveilled before his alleged suicide. New York's medical examiner ruled that Epstein died by suicide.

"Man, there's a lot of coincidence there," Trump Jr. said on the podcast. "I'm not going to say yes or no, but a guy who's there, he's magically dead within hours of being off of suicide watch the two cameras that are on him happened to go out."

"The two guards just happen to ... Man, it seems like a lot of coincidence," he added, before telling Norton "He was literally, he was literally thrown out of Mar-a-Lago because some of the rumors and all of this stuff."

Epstein's death has been the source of conspiracy theories for months, since August. A law enforcement source said at the time that the FBI was investigating why two cameras outside his cell were apparently inoperable at the time of his death.
