Mark Epstein, the brother of the late sex offender, has made a bombshell claim that Republicans' names are getting scrubbed from the government's files on the deceased disgraced sex offender.
'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 Epstein told NewsNation on Monday.
The late pedophile's younger brother said he had been tipped off by a 'pretty good source' that the FBI has been working to clean the files.
'There’s a facility in Winchester, Virginia, where they’re scrubbing the files to take Republican names out of it,' Mark Epstein claimed. Though he never named any specific Republicans who may have had their names blotted out.
The FBI maintains its Central Records Complex in Winchester, Virginia, but declined to comment on Epstein's claims.
Mark also revealed that his brother had 'dirt' on President Donald Trump during the appearance.
'Jeffrey told me that if he said what he knew about the candidates, they'd have to cancel the [2016] election.'
'Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump,' Mark Epstein continued. He then claimed that it's 'provable' Trump had been to Jeffrey Epstein's house, despite the president's denial.
When pressed on his emails with his brother Jeffrey that have been released recently by Congress, Mark refused to comment on them, calling them private conversations between two siblings.
Mark Epstein has loudly been advocating against the government's account that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide.
The younger of the Epstein brothers has said that FBI Director Kash Patel is working to cover up the real cause of his brother's 2019 death.
'After a thorough investigation, FBI investigators concluded that Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City,' the FBI and Justice Department said in a joint, unsigned statement released this summer.
Mark Epstein's claims that the files are being edited on the conservatives' behalf cut directly against what Trump has been saying.
The president has repeatedly labeled the Epstein scandal as a 'Democratic hoax,' and he has noted how many of the A-listers that have appeared in the files were liberals, like former President Bill Clinton and Bill Gates.
In a sudden reversal over the weekend, Trump has come out in favor of Republican lawmakers voting to release the Epstein files after spending months downplaying the matter and urging the GOP to avoid the scandal.
The US House of Representatives passed a bill on Tuesday to release additional FBI and DOJ documents with overwhelming support.
Only one lawmaker, Congressman Clay Higgins, voted against the disclosure.
'As written, this bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people – witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members, etc.,' Higgins later wrote.
The bill will now head to the Senate, where it is expected to garner widespread support.
Trump has said he will sign the bill if it ever makes it to his desk.
However, given that the president ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to reopen an investigation into Epstein, it remains to be seen how many files will be released now that the probe is once again active.
