Jeffrey Epstein's brother Mark Epstein says 'Bubba' isn't reference to Bill Clinton

Link: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/11/18/bubba-jeffrey-epstein-bill-clinton/87338655007/

WASHINGTON – Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, sought to dispel a rumor about former President Bill Clinton and President Donald Trump that has spread online in recent days. The rumor began to percolate online after an email Mark Epstein sent to his brother was released Nov. 12 by the House Oversight Committee, along with a trove of 20,000 other messages related to Jeffrey Epstein.

In the 2018 exchange, Mark Epstein told his brother to ask Steve Bannon, then a close advisor to Trump, whether Russian President Vladimir Putin had "photos of Trump blowing Bubba."

Questions began to spread about whether "Bubba" was a reference to Clinton, who is known by the nickname. In a Nov. 17 interview on NewsNation, Mark Epstein denied the connection. "Let me stop you here, I’m not discussing that email. This is a private email between Jeffrey and myself, two brothers talking. It’s nobody’s business what we wrote," he told anchor Chris Cuomo.

"The only thing I responded to, because people got crazy with the bubba reference. They tried to pin it on Clinton, so I made a public statement that it was not any reference to Bill Clinton. I like Bill Clinton," he continued. "I was sorry for him that he had to go through that. But the email had nothing to do with Clinton and that’s my last word on that email."

I believe him, but I'm still curious to know who "Bubba" is in his email. As far as I know, Chump only blows dictators with extremely small dicks. We really need to know.

Trump was a social climber and until Trump ran against Hillary he was thrilled to be in circles with (former) President Bill Clinton. Trump brown noses leaders he idolizes like Putin and I would guess he would want to butt kiss Bill Clinton, Thus this joke.

Just my guess.

Back in the early aughts and before Chump decided to run as a Repuke, he used to be friendly with the Clintons and he also voted D. So yes it's possible that a photo of "Chump blowing Bubba" could have meant that he was being friendly with the former President.

But now in today's political climate, it's a completely different meaning and context. So the fact that Mark Epstein says no it isn't Clinton, this is really starting a whole new avenue of speculation.

I think we need a Bingo card, am I right?
