Jeffrey Epstein’s emails, made public today, contained derogatory remarks about Donald Trump, describing him as “dirty” and “evil beyond belief.” These revelations were part of a trove of 23,000 documents provided to the US House Oversight Committee by Epstein’s estate following his death. The emails also disclosed Epstein’s involvement in advising Russian officials on handling Trump prior to his meeting with Vladimir Putin.
One email exchange between Epstein and Kathy Reummler, a former White House Counsel, discussed Michael Cohen, Trump’s ex-‘fixer,’ who was contemplating cooperating with authorities regarding illicit payments to Karen McDougal. Epstein criticized Trump’s behavior, stating that Trump’s association with Cohen’s actions reflected his own unethical conduct.
Cohen later pleaded guilty to multiple charges, implicating Trump in the process. Epstein also corresponded with New York Times journalist Landon Thomas Jr, describing Trump as “evil beyond belief” and expressing concerns about Trump’s erratic behavior. Additionally, Epstein revealed his interactions with senior Russian officials and his attempts to influence international affairs.
Epstein’s emails also revealed his communication with Thorbjørn Jagland, the former Prime Minister of Norway, regarding Trump and Russian relations. Epstein suggested that Russian officials seek insights from him, emphasizing the simplicity of gaining Trump’s favor. Furthermore, Epstein criticized Trump’s performance at the Helsinki summit, highlighting concerns about Trump’s lack of understanding of diplomatic nuances.
Epstein’s correspondence shed light on his interactions with various influential figures and his opinions on Trump’s character and international influence.
