Mark Epstein is speaking out about the release of documents tied to his late brother, Jeffrey Epstein. He says Republicans aren’t suddenly supporting transparency because they care. According to him, the files are being edited to remove the names of GOP officials.
“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,” Mark told NewsNation.
He added that FBI Director Kash Patel is involved. “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,” he said.
Mark also suggested that Trump’s repeated claims about not having a close relationship with Epstein might not be true. “He didn’t tell me what he knew, but Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump,” Mark 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.”

Some of the files already released mention Trump in ways that raise questions. One email says Trump “spent hours” at Epstein’s house with Virginia Giuffre, a known Epstein accuser. Another claims Trump “knew about the girls” Epstein trafficked.
Mark also cleared up a confusing email from 2018 referencing “Bubba.” The message mentioned whether Russian President Vladimir Putin had “the photos of Trump blowing Bubba.” Some thought it referred to Bill Clinton, but Mark says that was not the case.
The House of Representatives has passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act with near-unanimous support, 427-1. The law requires the Justice Department to release all files within 30 days. Only personal information or sensitive supervisor material will be kept private.
So far, more than 23,000 documents from Epstein’s estate are public. More are expected once the law takes effect.
Mark Epstein’s claims suggest the GOP might be shielding itself and Trump. If that’s true, it makes you wonder how transparent the process really is. The files are supposed to give the public a full view of Epstein’s network, but if names are being cut out, the story could end up incomplete.
