Jeffrey Epstein’s brother has made a major allegation about the files on the late convicted sex offender.
After Congress voted on November 18 to release the Epstein files, nearly a year on from President Donald Trump promising to reveal all, things have exploded once more.
The bill, which was approved in the House of Representatives in a 427-1 vote, will see the release of documents from criminal investigations into Epstein, which include transcripts of interviews with victims and witnesses, and items seized in raids of his properties.
The bill was transferred to the Senate, where it was approved and turned into law, which means Attorney General Pam Bondi has to release all 'unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials' in the Department of Justice's possession.

Ever since Epstein’s crimes came to light, and his alleged alliance with powerful figures such as Andrew Windsor and Trump, the POTUS has been adamant that he has not been affiliated with the sex ring.
He also claimed the files are being used to cover up the Shutdown blunder that saw the government close down most of its services.
Trump recently wrote: "The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects. Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap.
"The Democrats cost our Country $1.5 Trillion Dollars with their recent antics of viciously closing our Country, while at the same time putting many at risk — and they should pay a fair price.
"There should be no deflections to Epstein or anything else, and any Republicans involved should be focused only on opening up our Country, and fixing the massive damage caused by the Democrats!"
However, Mark Epstein, the brother of the criminal, begs to differ.
Mark has now claimed that the files on his late brother are allegedly being edited to remove the names of Republican politicians.
In an interview with NewsNation on November 18, Mark alleged an unnamed source revealed to him that the names of conservative politicians were being redacted.
"I've been recently told, the reason they're going to be releasing the files and the reason for the flip is that they're sabotaging these files," Mark said.
"That's what I was told, by a pretty good source."
He then went on to allege that his late brother claimed to have incriminating evidence against Trump around the time of his 2016 election that could have ‘cancelled the election’ due to what he had on the candidates at that time.
"He didn't tell me what he knew," Mark said. “But Jeffrey definitely had dirt on Trump."
This comes after several of Epstein's victims appeared in a powerful public service announcement produced by the World Without Exploitation organization, in which they called for the public to contact their local politicians about the importance of releasing information tied to Epstein, his sex trafficking empire and those implicated in it.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told UNILAD: “Instead of amplifying baseless claims, the media should start asking real questions: why was Democrat Stacey Plaskett live texting Epstein in 2019 during a congressional hearing after he was a convicted sex offender?"
Plaskett has denied any wrongdoing, saying it was not pubic knowledge at the time that Epstein was under federal investigation, although he was convicted of sex offences in 2008.
Jackson continued: "Why did President Bill Clinton travel on Epstein’s plane 26 times? And why did one of Epstein’s victims write that she saw Clinton on Epstein’s island with two young women? These are just some of the many questions that the American people deserve to have answered.”
