Epstein Brother Demands Access to Bannon Unreleased Footage

Mark Epstein, brother of Jeffrey Epstein, is demanding to see the 15 to 16 hours of unreleased documentary footage that Steve Bannon, former Trump adviser and MAGA media figure, reportedly has of the convicted sex offender. The footage was recorded in 2019 before Epstein's arrest and was intended for a documentary titled "The Monsters: Epstein's Life Among the Global Elite," which has yet to be released. In a teaser obtained in 2021, Bannon was shown confronting Epstein about his crimes, while Epstein claimed to support the anti-sexual harassment movement Time’s Up. Mark Epstein said Bannon told him the footage was part of an effort to help rehabilitate Jeffrey Epstein’s reputation, and the two spent considerable time together before Epstein’s death. Bannon, who is not accused of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, has not publicly released the footage but stated the documentary would be a five-part series expected early next year. Right-wing commentators, including Ben Shapiro, have called on Bannon to release the tapes fully for transparency, amid ongoing political controversy involving President Donald Trump’s administration and the Epstein investigation.
