The brother of the late Jeffrey Epstein has publicly called for the release of extensive interview footage recorded with the convicted sex offender in the years preceding his death.
Mark Epstein stated he is seeking access to approximately 15 hours of video, reportedly in the possession of former political strategist Steve Bannon. The material was captured for a documentary project that has never been released. Mark Epstein made his appeal directly, emphasizing the familial connection, stating, “Let me see the videotapes. He’s my brother.”
According to Mark Epstein, Bannon engaged with Jeffrey Epstein following a major 2018 news investigation that detailed allegations from multiple accusers. The interviews were conducted prior to Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges. He died by suicide in a New York detention center in August of that year while awaiting trial.
Mark Epstein recounted a meeting with Bannon shortly after his brother’s death, during which Bannon allegedly discussed the documentary project and efforts to rehabilitate Jeffrey Epstein’s reputation. “They spent a lot of time together,” Mark Epstein noted, adding that he has had no further contact with Bannon since that meeting.
Recent statements from Bannon indicate the footage may soon become public. During a live podcast recording, he promised a multi-part series would be released “early next year.” He suggested the project would delve into the systemic support for Jeffrey Epstein’s actions, implicating powerful global networks.
Bannon previously confirmed the existence of the recordings, framing the intended documentary as an exposé on how elite circles enabled criminal behavior. The footage remains a subject of intense interest and unresolved demands from the Epstein family.
