Jeffrey Epstein had information on Donald Trump and the Clintons so incendiary, it could have upended the 2016 presidential election if made public, according to the dead financier’s younger brother.
“Here’s a direct quote: ‘If I said what I know about both candidates, they’d have to cancel the election.’ That’s what Jeffrey told me in 2016,” Mark Epstein told The Post Wednesday, recalling a conversation he had with his brother about the showdown between Trump and Hillary Clinton.
However, property developer Mark, 69, demurred when pushed to elaborate, saying his brother never revealed to him exactly what he knew about the then-presidential hopefuls.
Both candidates were known to have moved within Epstein’s circle, either directly or indirectly.
Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet seven times in the ’90s, according to flight logs, jetting between Palm Beach, Florida, and New York, accompanied by family members on at least two occasions.
Hillary is not known to have consorted with Epstein personally, but her husband, former President Bill Clinton, was a friend of Epstein dating back to at least 1993 during his first term in the White House.
Bill and Epstein visited each other numerous times over the years — including Epstein making at least 17 visits to the White House.
The ex-president also traveled across the world aboard Epstein’s jet, making trips to Europe, Asia and Africa in 2002 and 2003.

Mark said his brother taking Clinton on a philanthropic trip to Africa was what first put him under scrutiny.
He added: “Well, when Jeff first took Clinton and I think it was Chris Tucker and some other people to Africa — which was a mistake my brother made by doing that, because prior to that he was under the radar; nobody was looking at him.
“But when he flew Clinton there, it was like, ‘Who’s this guy flying Clinton?’”
Epstein’s jet was later notoriously dubbed “the Lolita Express” as he used it to sex-traffic underage girls between his various properties.

Clinton is expected to be identified as “John Doe 36” in a trove of court documents related to Epstein set to be released Wednesday.
The 77-year-old is mentioned at least 50 times across the documents, which come from a 2015 lawsuit by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre against his right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Maxwell, a co-conspirator in the sex ring who is now jailed in Florida, allegedly claimed Epstein had video tapes showing Trump and Clinton in compromising positions with women.
“If you get the tapes on Trump, you have to do Clinton,” Maxwell said during a 2016 interview, former “60 Minutes” producer Ira Rosen alleged in his book, “Ticking Clock: Behind the Scenes at 60 Minutes.”
