Former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean endorsed speculation on Saturday that convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself, and soon Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate, won’t have either.
An anonymous Twitter user claimed on Saturday the recently arrested Maxwell would likely die in another “Epstein-Barr suicide” while in custody in the District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Dean quote tweeted the user adding, “Normally I would dismiss this as conspiracy theory but trumps corruption clearly has no boundaries at all.”
The 58-year-old Maxwell has been charged by federal prosecutors for allegedly aiding Epstein in a scheme to sexually abuse and groom underage girls between 1994 and 1997, according to CNN. She is currently being detained in the Metropolitan Detention Center in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Last year, Epstein was found dead in his cell after hanging himself in his New York prison cell. Conspiracy theories suggesting that Epstein did not kill himself have gone viral since his death.

Epstein and Maxwell were known to have many rich and powerful friends on both sides of the political aisle, including President Donald Trump and former President Bill Clinton.
