Director of Melania Trump film exposed in Epstein files drop: report

“Brett Ratner, the director of “Melania,” the new documentary about First Lady Melania Trump, was spotted in the Justice Department’s Friday release of thousands of files on Jeffrey Epstein, Vanity Fair reported late Friday.

Among the thousands of files released by the DOJ Friday, internet sleuths were quick to identify Ratner in an undated photograph with a shirtless man that appears to be Jean-Luc Brunel, a French model scout and owner of the international modeling agency MC2 Model Management, which has considerable financial backing from Epstein.

Brunel died by apparent suicide in 2022 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, as did Epstein in 2019.

… Ratner is now set to direct “Rush Hour 4” after the project was greenlit by Paramount, and after President Donald Trump “lobbied” for the studio to take up Ratner’s project.

Ratner was also selected to direct “Melania,” set for release in select-theaters on Jan. 30, 2026. The film was announced in January of 2025, an indication that Ratner was likely still held in high regard among the Trumps, further supported by Donald Trump’s push for Paramount to fund “Rush Hour 4” with Ratner at the helm.”

This article with the picture of Brunel and Ratner appeared in the first release. Casts kind of a big shadow over Melania’s documentary release if it’s noticed, but beyond this one article I saw the other day after the first release I haven’t seen any mainstream news in print or tv mention it. I hope it hasn’t also been memory holed. Seems very important to me in connecting some dots.
