Is C.R. “Bubba” Saulsbury Jr the recipient of a blow job, as in the recent email between the Epstein Brothers?

1. What the documents actually say — the text that went viral

Publicized excerpts from a 2018 email thread show Mark Epstein asking Jeffrey to check “if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba,” and Jeffrey replying with a Yiddish quip about “tsuris” (troubles); that fragment is what drove the viral posts and coverage ^{[1] [2] [4]}.

2. Who has commented and what they said — Mark Epstein’s clarification

Mark Epstein, through statements reported to news outlets, denied that “Bubba” referred to Bill Clinton and characterized the emails as a humorous private exchange not intended for public interpretation; that denial is reported by Newsweek, Yahoo/Lead Stories fact checks, Snopes, and others ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.

3. How outlets and fact-checkers handled identity claims

Multiple fact-checks and news organizations flagged the viral inference that “Bubba” meant Bill Clinton as speculative. Lead Stories and Snopes reported Mark Epstein’s statement ruling out Clinton, and outlets noted social-media speculation migrated to other identifications (e.g., a horse, unnamed individuals) after that clarification ^{[2] [3] [5]}.

4. Is C.R. “Bubba” Saulsbury Jr. the person named “Bubba” in the email?

Available reporting documents publicizing the email do not provide confirmation that the “Bubba” mentioned is C.R. “Bubba” Saulsbury Jr.; mainstream fact-checking and Mark Epstein’s own denial focused on excluding Bill Clinton, not naming an alternative individual ^{[2] [3]}. Some social posts and commentary have suggested Saulsbury as a candidate and have circulated biographical links tying a Saulsbury to political donors and figures, but those assertions are not corroborated in the reporting cited here ^{[6] [7]}. Therefore, available sources do not confirm that C.R. “Bubba” Saulsbury Jr. is the “Bubba” in the email.

5. Why Saulsbury’s name surfaced — donations and connections

Reporting on C.R. “Bubba” Saulsbury Jr. shows he is a Texas energy executive and a Republican donor linked by campaign finance records to Donald Trump’s political committees, which helps explain why some commentators pointed to him as a plausible “Bubba” when the identity was unknown ^[6]. Social posts promoting that identification appear to mix public biographical facts with inference and rumor ^[7].

6. What evidence would be needed to confirm identity or the alleged sexual act

To establish that the email refers to C.R. Saulsbury Jr., or to prove an alleged sexual act, reporting would need contemporaneous documents, corroborating testimony, or authenticated images explicitly connecting the named individuals; none of the sources in the available set provide such corroboration ^{[2] [3]}. Absent that, identification remains speculative and reliant on anonymous insinuation circulating online ^[8].

7. Competing viewpoints and motivations to note

Journalists and fact-checkers emphasize Mark Epstein’s denial and caution against assuming the phrase references Bill Clinton ^{[2] [3]}. Social-media posts and conspiracy-minded threads pushed broader, more sensational interpretations, often motivated by political agendas and viral amplification rather than new evidence ^{[8] [7]}. Mark Epstein’s framing of the passage as a private joke is itself a claim from an interested party and should be weighed alongside the fact that the emails were never intended for public release ^{[2] [3]}.

8. Bottom line for readers

The email does contain the “Trump blowing Bubba” line, and Mark Epstein has said that line was not referring to Bill Clinton and was meant in jest ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Available sources do not identify C.R. “Bubba” Saulsbury Jr. as the “Bubba” in that thread, and there is no corroborated public evidence in this reporting that he — or any named public figure in these sources — was the recipient of the alleged sexual act mentioned in the email ^{[2] [3]}.
