Jeffrey Epstein‘s brother, Mark Epstein, dismissed hypothesis tying Bill Clinton to a cryptic 2018 electronic mail uncovered in a trove of newly unsealed paperwork involving his late brother and Donald Trump, clarifying {that a} reference to “Bubba” was not aimed on the former president.

The clarification adopted the House Oversight Committee’s launch of over 26,000 pages from Jeffrey’s property, together with messages between the brothers.

One electronic mail from Mark requested Jeffrey to test with Steve Bannon if Russian President Vladimir Putin had “the photos of Trump blowing Bubba.”

That line ignited speculation on-line, with many assuming “Bubba” was a jab at Clinton, who’s usually referred to by that nickname.

Mark, a 71-year-old actual property developer and artist, pushed again.

“They were simply part of a humorous private exchange between two brothers and were never meant for public release or to be interpreted as serious remarks,” Mark Epstein’s spokesperson, Ali Clark mentioned in an announcement to The Advocate.

He continued, “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 added, “Any attempt to conflate that reference with President Clinton, or to read sweeping implications into them, misrepresents both the purpose and the tone of the original correspondence.”

Clark mentioned that “Bubba” was “a private individual who is not a public figure,” although Mark declined to call the particular person.

The electronic mail thread, dated 2018, reveals Jeffrey replying with the Yiddish phrase “tsuris,” which means hassle.

Mark responded with a film joke: “You and your boy Donnie can make a remake of the movie Get Hard.”

The messages had been half of a bigger doc dump that has renewed public curiosity in Trump’s ties to the late financier.

Other emails present Jeffrey calling Trump “dirty” and claiming the previous president “knew about the girls.” In one other message to Michael Wolff, Jeffrey supplied to indicate him “photos of Donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen.”

Trump has since instructed Pam Bondi to research Jeffrey’s hyperlinks to Clinton and different political figures, however reportedly excluded himself from the scope of the inquiry, in line with NBC News.

The fallout has stirred political friction, contributing to Trump’s choice to tug help from Marjorie Taylor Greene forward of her 2026 reelection bid after she supported full disclosure of the Epstein recordsdata.
