Epstein Documents Reveal new Trump Connections
On Wednesday, over twenty thousand pages of documents from Epstein’s files became public-released not from the anticipated Justice department trove, but from a separate collection Congress subpoenaed from Epstein’s estate.Reviewing these documents quickly revealed numerous new avenues for inquiry. Julie K.Brown, the Miami Herald writer who has consistently and thoroughly covered the Epstein story, reported that trump’s name appears thousands of times within these documents. Reports quickly followed regarding Epstein’s correspondence with Steve Bannon,Larry Summers,and Michael Wolff. One Epstein email suggested, without providing proof, that Trump “knew about the girls,” many of whom investigators later persistent were underage.Another message from Epstein mysteriously implied he spent the first Thanksgiving of Trump’s Presidency in Palm beach, near him, years after they supposedly ceased contact. Several other emails also hinted at continuing ties.
Surprisingly, the emails also revealed Epstein corresponded with a wide network of international contacts about Trump in the years before his death, including attempting to relay a message to Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, before trump’s 2018 Helsinki summit with Vladimir Putin. This amounted to an invitation to gain information on the American President, communicated thru Thorbjørn Jagland, Norway’s former Prime Minister who then lead the Council of Europe. “I think you might suggest to putin that lavrov can get insight on talking to me,” Epstein wrote. In the same exchange, he stated he had previously discussed Trump with Russia’s late ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin. “churkin was great,” epstein wrote. “He understood trump after our conversations. it is not complex. he must be seen to get something its that simple.” This revelation stunned many.
