Overview
- A House Oversight Committee release of roughly 20,000 Epstein-related emails included a 2018 exchange in which Mark Epstein wrote that Jeffrey should ask Steve Bannon if Vladimir Putin had 'photos of Trump blowing Bubba.'
- In a NewsNation interview with Chris Cuomo, Mark Epstein refused to discuss the private email and pivoted to asserting that Jeffrey Epstein did not die by suicide, alleging a cover-up by Trump-era officials.
- Mark Epstein reiterated that his brother 'definitely had dirt on Trump,' saying Jeffrey told him so, while offering no additional evidence in the interview.
- He apologized for confusion over the 'Bubba' reference and said it was not about Bill Clinton, a point he has also made in prior statements.
- Clinton spokesperson Angel Ureña said the emails show Clinton did nothing wrong, as President Trump urged the DOJ to investigate Clinton and Pam Bondi said she assigned SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton to lead a review.
