Mark Epstein alleged during a Monday night interview that his late brother Jeffrey Epstein had compromising information about Donald Trump, accusing federal authorities of scrubbing files to protect political figures.
The claims aired on NewsNation’s CUOMO show came just hours after Trump reversed his stance and called for the full release of Epstein-related documents. Mark, a New York real estate developer, didn’t stop there. He accused FBI Director Kash Patel of playing a role in covering up Jeffrey’s death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. The interview followed the release of thousands of emails tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, which House Democrats made public last week. The emails have reignited public interest in the case, especially as some of the messages between the Epstein brothers hint at potential sexual misconduct involving prominent political figures.
Mark has long rejected the official explanation of his brother’s death, insisting Jeffrey was murdered while in federal custody. His latest public remarks add fuel to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding the Epstein case, which remains one of the most controversial criminal sagas in recent U.S. history. House Speaker Mike Johnson has signalled that a vote to compel the Department of Justice to release more documents could take place this week.
