The brother of the late Jeffrey Epstein has publicly called for the release of extensive video recordings of the convicted sex offender, footage captured in the final years before his death. Mark Epstein is seeking access to what he describes as approximately 15 hours of unreleased interview material, recorded by former political strategist Steve Bannon.
In a recent statement, Mark Epstein appealed directly to Bannon, stating, “Let me see the videotapes. He’s my brother.” He detailed that Bannon had engaged with Jeffrey Epstein following a major 2018 investigative report that brought new allegations of abuse to light. According to Mark, Bannon recorded the interviews prior to Epstein’s 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges.
Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in a New York detention center in August 2019 while awaiting trial.
Mark Epstein recounted a meeting with Bannon in New York City shortly after his brother’s death. He claimed Bannon was working on a documentary project aimed at rehabilitating Jeffrey Epstein’s reputation and had sought funding for the venture. “He told me he has like 15 or 16 hours of videotape of Jeff,” Mark Epstein said, noting he has had no further contact with Bannon since that time.
Bannon has recently indicated the material may soon become public. During a live podcast recording earlier this month, he announced plans to release a multi-part series based on the footage “early next year.” He suggested the project would delve into the systemic support he alleges Epstein received, stating it would reveal “how the elites of the world but also the intelligence services are inextricably linked in the Epstein story.”
Previous reports confirm Bannon’s possession of the recordings, which he once described as intended to expose how the financier’s criminal activities were “systematically supported, encouraged and rewarded” by powerful global networks. The status and full content of the footage, however, remain undisclosed.
