At a press conference during his late July visit to Scotland, U.S. President Donald Trump was vehemently critical of the late Jeffrey Epstein’s business practices — telling reporters that he kicked the disgraced financier out of Mar-a-Lago for stealing employees from him. Epstein, according to Trump, showed him a lack of professional courtesy.

Those comments came a time when MAGA Republicans are having heated arguments over Trump and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein case. Now, real estate developer Mark Epstein is alleging that his brother, Jeffrey Epstein, had “dirt” on Trump as well as on 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

But according to Newsweek’s Jack Royston, Mark Epstein said “he was never told what the ‘dirt’ was and does not have any evidence linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal sexual abuse and trafficking of young girls.”

Jeffrey Epstein, Royston reports, claimed the “dirt” he had on Trump and Clinton was “serious enough that it could have canceled the 2016 presidential election if revealed publicly, according to his brother.”

“Trump and Hillary Clinton were the candidates for the Republicans and the Democrats, respectively, in 2016,” Royston explains. “Trump and Hillary Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, have always denied knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal sexual abuse of minors…. Mark Epstein gave an interview to the BBC’s Newsnight in the U.K. on Friday, July 25 in which he argued the New York financier did not commit suicide in his jail cell in 2019, contrary to the official decision by Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Barbara Sampson. He was then asked whether he thought Jeffrey Epstein ‘knew things about powerful people,’ by interviewer Matt Chorley.”

Mark Epstein told Chorley, “Absolutely. I believe so, yes. Jeffrey mentioned he had dirt on people. He didn’t tell me what he knew. But he led me to believe that he had dirt on people. In the 2016 election, we were talking about the election and Jeffrey told me that if he said what he knew about the candidates, they would have to cancel the election. That’s a quote; that’s exactly what he told me. He said, ‘If I said what I knew about the candidates, they’d have to cancel the election.’ He didn’t tell me what he knew. But that’s what he said.”

Royston points out that although Jeffrey Epstein’s death was officially ruled a suicide, “there have long been questions over whether there could have been foul play.”

“In July,” Royston notes, “the DOJ (U.S. Department of Justice) released a tape recording of the camera in his prison cell, leading to allegations there were some missing minutes.”
