Mark asked his brother, who had claimed that he was with former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, to "ask him if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba". Clinton was known by the nickname "Bubba", which led to speculation that the Epsteins were referring to the Democratic former president. But in a statement given to The Advocate, Mark Epstein has insisted that Trump did not perform oral sex on Clinton, adding that the exchange had been misinterpreted.
In March 2011, four months after he later claimed to have ended his relationship with Epstein, the former prince told him and the convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell I can't take any more of this in response to allegations put forward by the Mail on Sunday. Another email from Epstein in 2011 appears to confirm the veracity of a photograph of the then Prince Andrew holding a then 17-year-old Giuffre by the waist in 2001.
Walther's opinion piece, posted on July 8, 2019, poses the question, Was Trump speaking from personal experience when he said in 2002 that Epstein likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side'? The old post is coming back to bite Vance after the release of several emails between Epstein, his alleged madam Ghislaine Maxwell, and author Michael Wolff, one of which includes Epstein saying one of his victims spent hours at my house with [Trump].
