Jeffrey Epstein’s brother has made yet another controversial claim about Donald Trump and the files pertaining to his disgraced brother - this time it’s about Trump’s U-turn over releasing the documents.
Mark Epstein says that there is a very specific reason behind Trump’s decision to come full circle and call for transparency at this point.
Mark Epstein on his brother Jeffrey and Donald Trump
Mark Epstein has been all over the news recently, largely due to one seriously controversial email that leaked about his late brother Jeffrey, the current POTUS Donald Trump, and Bill Clinton.
While he has moved to distance himself from those particular bizarre claims - even becoming a bit frustrated at times - he can’t keep himself out of the headlines on this subject.
That’s because - at long last - the US government is to release the Epstein files, hopefully providing the public with some clarity and the victims with some closure.
But that’s not how Mark Epstein sees it.
He believes that the files are somewhere being ‘sanitized’ to remove the names of certain people within.

Why has Donald Trump turned so quickly on the matter?
Not so long ago, Trump and his allies were calling the release of certain files a ‘hoax’ and a ‘distraction’ from the ongoing business of government.
However, now Trump wants the files released.
Mark Epstein is among those who suspect that everyone’s intentions aren’t exactly pure on this matter, and he claims that there could be a cover-up taking place.

Speaking to NewsNation, Epstein claimed: "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 also claimed that FBI director Kash Patel is in on the plot, claiming to have heard from a reputable place that the deed is being done somewhere in Virginia.
Epstein added: “There's a facility in Winchester, Virginia, where they're scrubbing the files to take Republican names out of it.
“That's what I was told by a pretty good source.”

Of course, there is no concrete proof for this outside of the words of one man, but the claims about Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump simply refuse to go away.
Mark has said before that his brother had ‘dirt’ on the president, although he can’t specify exactly what.
"He didn't tell me what he knew, but Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump," he said.
“You could see in the emails, Trump could deny it all he wants, but it's pretty clear everything Trump says is a lie.”
Trump has repeatedly said he had no close friendship with Epstein, who died in prison in 2019.
