Brett Ratner, the man directing Melania Trump's upcoming documentary, has surfaced in a photograph released last week as part of the massive Epstein files dump. The image shows him with Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modelling agent who was awaiting trial for child sex crimes when he killed himself in prison nearly three years ago.
The photo itself is murky - literally and figuratively. Shot in what appears to be a poorly lit room, it shows Ratner with his arm around a shirtless Brunel. There's no date on it, no location, nothing to tell us when or where it was taken. The US Department of Justice released it on 19 December amongst roughly 3,900 other files connected to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation.
