Mark Epstein, the younger brother of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, claims his brother had “dirt” on President Trump, whose team has been busy “sanitizing” files tying the late pedophile to the White House.
“I’ve been recently told the reason they’re going to be releasing these things, and the reason for the flip is that they’re sanitizing these files,” Epstein told Chris Cuomo during an appearance on NewsNation Monday night.
Mark Epstein attributed his information to “a pretty good source,” who allegedly told him there’s a facility in Virginia where the FBI is “scrubbing the files to take Republican names out of it.”
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill Tuesday to make the information into the sex trafficking investigation of Epstein publicly available. The move came a day Trump abruptly reversed his position and called for the release of the files, while still maintaining the scandal is a “Democrat hoax.”
In August 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was found dead by hanging in his jail cell at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, prompting conspiracy theories that his death was orchestrated as a way to cover up his connections to the rich and powerful.

Epstein was known to have ties to numerous affluent figures including President Trump, who denies any wrongdoing.
Mark Epstein admitted he’s not clear on what his brother may have known about the president’s possible indiscretions, but claimed “Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump.”
“You could see in the emails,” he alleged. “Trump could deny it all he wants, but it’s pretty clear everything Trump says is a lie.”
Trump called Epstein a “sick pervert” during an Oval Office press conference Tuesday, where he became upset when an ABC News reporter asked why he hadn’t previously ordered the Justice Department to release the information Congress moved to expose.
