New Epstein Emails Reveal Sour Views on Former Friend Donald Trump
A new release of emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has surfaced, highlighting Epstein’s opinions about former President Donald Trump. The House Oversight Committee published these emails this week, adding depth to their controversial past.
Key Insights from Epstein’s Emails
These recently disclosed emails do not change the overarching narrative of Trump’s relationship with Epstein. However, they introduce several crucial insights:
- Epstein claimed Trump “spent hours” with Virginia Giuffre, a known trafficking victim, who tragically died by suicide in April.
- Despite being a prominent victim, Giuffre never implicated Trump in any wrongdoing.
- In a March 2018 email, Epstein described Trump as “evil beyond belief” and noted his feelings of isolation.
Epstein’s Assessment of Trump
Throughout the emails, Epstein frequently referenced Trump, displaying an unsettling preoccupation. His comments included:
- In a December 2015 email, he discussed how Trump might handle questions about their past relationship during his presidential campaign.
- In February 2017, Epstein labeled Trump as “dangerous,” stating, “not one decent cell in his body.”
- He referred to Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked” in a 2011 email to Ghislaine Maxwell, further illustrating his unusual fixation.
Trump’s Reactions and Denials
The White House has firmly denied claims regarding Trump’s knowledge of Epstein’s illicit activities. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated the emails “prove absolutely nothing.”
Trump has criticized Democrats for attempting to resurrect his ties with Epstein. In a recent post on Truth Social, he announced intentions to ask Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Epstein’s connections with various high-profile individuals, including:
- Bill Clinton
- Larry Summers
- J.P. Morgan
The Former Friendship
Trump and Epstein shared a close bond in the 1990s and early 2000s, attending social events and engaging in mutual business ventures. However, their friendship began to deteriorate around 2004, reportedly due to disputes over property dealings.
Various reports indicate that their relationship ended when Trump accused Epstein of stealing employees from his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Epstein’s Blunt Views Post-Friendship
In the years following their falling out, Epstein’s view of Trump turned grim. He described Trump as “f*ing crazy,” suggested he might show signs of “early dementia,” and frequently criticized his behavior.
Despite the contentious history between the two men, the implications of these emails remain uncertain. As the House prepares to vote on releasing further Epstein files, the full extent of their connection and the surrounding controversies may soon come to light.
