Jeffrey Epstein's brother has made another explosive claim about Donald Trump, one that directly contradicts statements the President has previously made.
As previously reported, a bizarre email exchange between Epstein and his brother Mark set the internet ablaze, and reignited theories about the sex offender's circle of high-profile connections.
The email, dated March 2018, includes Mark suggesting to Jeffrey that he ask former Trump adviser Steve Bannon whether Russian President Vladimir Putin has compromising photos of the 79-year-old.
The conversation quickly took a bizarre turn when Mark referenced a mysterious figure called “Bubba”, which instantly sparked wild speculation on social media.

The nickname "Bubba" has long been associated with former President Bill Clinton, leading many to assume that Mark was referring to Clinton in the cryptic exchange.
However, Mark was quick to shut down these theories, stating: “For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to ‘Bubba’ in this correspondence is not, in any way, a reference to former President Bill Clinton.”
He went on to describe the email as “a humorous private exchange between two brothers” and insisted that any attempts to link the comment to Clinton “misrepresent both the purpose and the tone of the original correspondence".
While Mark's clarification put an end to one theory, it only deepened the mystery surrounding who “Bubba” actually is.
As the theories continued to swirl online, Clinton's spokesperson, Angel Ureña, dismissed the rumors as “noise meant to distract from election losses, backfiring shutdowns, and who knows what else.”

Mark's Bombshell Claim About Trump
Adding to the intrigue, Mark made bombshell new claims about Epstein’s connections to Trump during a recent appearance on CNN.
The 71-year-old revealed that after the president's unexpected victory in the 2016 election, the two men had a phone conversation in which Trump expressed his surprise at winning.
According to Mark, Jeffrey told him: “Trump called him, and it was sort of like, ‘Can you believe this?’ Because nobody believed Trump was going to win.
“Trump was sort of surprised himself that he won. So Jeffrey said he called him, like, you know, ‘could you believe this’-type of a phone call. You know?”
This revelation directly contradicts the two-time leader's previous statements about his relationship with the disgraced financiers, as earlier this year, he alleged: “I haven’t spoken to him in probably 15 years or more. I wasn’t a big fan of Jeffrey Epstein, that I can tell you," cited by The Hill.
He further insisted that he had severed ties with Epstein, even claiming to have expelled him from his Mar-a-Lago estate for being a “creep”

The renewed attention on Epstein’s connections to powerful figures comes as Congress moves forward with the release of hundreds of thousands of documents related to the financier’s criminal activities.
The Department of Justice is now required to release approximately 100,000 pages detailing investigations, flight logs, emails, and communications about Epstein and his associates, which included many high-profile individuals, including Trump.
The legislation was signed into law by Trump this week, despite initial resistance, as the Justice Department prepares to make the documents public in the next 30 days.
