Brett Ratner, the Hollywood filmmaker best known for directing the “Rush Hour” franchise, has surfaced in the latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein files released by the US Justice Department. The disclosure comes as Ratner is preparing to release a new documentary centered on First Lady Melania Trump, marking his return to directing after years out of the spotlight.
The files include an undated photograph showing Ratner posing with a shirtless Jean-Luc Brunel, a longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein. The image provides no information about when or where it was taken, nor any context for the encounter.
