Mark Epstein: ‘Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump’

Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, said Monday that the late convicted sex offender “definitely had compromising information” on President Trump.

“He didn’t tell me what he knew, but Jeffrey definitely had compromising information on Trump,” Epstein told Chris Cuomo on News Nation, a network affiliated with The Hill.

According to documents released last week by the House Oversight Committee, Epstein mentioned the president multiple times in emails before his death in 2019.

Trump has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes, including allegations of sex trafficking of minors, calling the pressure exerted by victims on Democrats to release the files related to the case a “hoax.”

On Sunday, amid frustration from both parties, the president appeared to backtrack. He encouraged Republicans to vote for a bill that would require the Justice Department to release the files and indicated he would sign it if presented to him.

However, Mark Epstein stated, “Everything he [Trump] says is a lie.” He added, referring to the emails leaked by House Democrats last week, “It’s obvious in those emails. Trump can deny it all he wants, but it’s clear.”

In a January 2019 email, Epstein told journalist Michael Wolff that “Trump knew about the girls, of course, since he had asked his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell to stop.”

In another email from April 2011, Epstein told Maxwell that Trump was “the dog that doesn’t bark” and that he had “spent hours at my house” with one of his victims.

The Democrats on the committee redacted the victim’s name, but documents released by the Republican-majority committee indicate it was Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s accusers, who died by suicide in April. In July, the president said Epstein had “stolen” Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, prompting questions from the victim’s family.

In December 2015, Wolff advised Epstein, via email, to let Trump “lose himself,” in response to a question from the convicted sex offender about what the then-Republican nominee should have said about their relationship during a Republican primary debate.

During that CNN-hosted debate, Trump was not asked about his relationship with Epstein, according to the transcript.

In a statement released Wednesday, White House spokeswoman Carolyn Leavitt said: “Nevertheless, President Trump expelled Jeffrey Epstein from his club decades ago for inappropriate behavior toward his employees.”
