Jeffrey Epstein's brother, Mark, has shared his view on the viral President Donald Trump "blowing Bubba" remark, which appeared in one of the recently released files related to the late sex offender.

The file in question was an email Mark sent to former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon in 2018, during Trump's first term.

Donald Trump has since dismissed the Jeffrey Epstein files as a "hoax," while a representative from the White House has also responded to the backlash they generated.

'Bubba' Is Not Bill Clinton, Jeffrey Epstein's Brother Reveals

Amid continued scrutiny over the newly released Epstein files that reference Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein's brother, Mark Epstein, has come forward to clarify one of the documents.

In 2018, Mark emailed the then-chief strategist for the billionaire, asking whether Russian President Vladimir Putin had "the photos of Trump blowing Bubba."

"You and your boy Donnie can make a remake of the movie Get Hard," Mark added in the exchange.

After the email went viral, it appeared that "Bubba" might be a reference to former President Bill Clinton, who is believed to have that nickname.

However, Mark has now claimed in a conversation with The Advocate that "Bubba" is not Clinton.

"For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to 'Bubba' in this correspondence is not, in any way, a reference to former President Bill Clinton," Mark told the outlet, which published the remarks on Sunday, November 16.

Clinton has come under fire in the past for his alleged connections to Epstein, although he has consistently denied having any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.

Mark Epstein Claims The Email Was Only A 'Humorous Private Exchange'

In the conversation, Mark also said that people were blowing the email out of proportion, insisting it was merely a "humorous private exchange" and not the sexual innuendo many have interpreted it to be.

"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," he told the outlet.

Interestingly, Mark didn't reveal who the individual nicknamed "Bubba" is, nor did he provide any further context about what the email implied.

However, a rep for Mark, Ali Clark, did note that the "Bubba" being referred to is a "private individual."

Responding to the "Bubba" email and other recently released Epstein files, Trump slammed them as a "hoax" in a post on his social media platform, Truth Social.

"Now that the Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans, to try and deflect from their disastrous SHUTDOWN, and all of their other failures," he penned on the social media platform.

He, however, promised to investigate some of the people whose names popped up in the emails and other individuals who allegedly had a relationship with Epstein.

"I will be asking A.G. Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice, together with our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them and him."

White House Claims The Emails Prove Nothing

A response was also issued by the White House through the deputy press secretary, Abigail Jackson.

She claimed that the controversial emails "prove literally nothing" and echoed Trump's sentiments about them being used as a "distraction" by the Democrats.

"Democrats and the mainstream media are desperately trying to use this hoax as a distraction to talk about anything other than the President's many wins, including the Democrats getting utterly defeated by President Trump in the shutdown fight," Jackson remarked.

"We won't be distracted, and the entire Administration will continue fulfilling the promises the President was elected on, including cutting the Biden-era price hikes," she added.

In a previous statement from the White House, press secretary Karoline Leavitt shut down any alleged ties between Trump and Epstein after a separate email surfaced suggesting he had privately spent time with one of the late sex offender's most prominent accusers, the late Virginia Giuffre.

Leavitt said that Giuffre had never implicated Trump while she was alive, adding that their limited interactions were only friendly.

She also noted that Trump had "kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago" to further support the administration's position that any alleged connections with the late sex offender were false.
