New Emails Reveal Disturbing Ties Between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein
A slew of freshly unearthed emails has shed disturbing light on the connections between US President Donald Trump and late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The House Oversight Committee released a cache of 20,000 documents, including private correspondence between Epstein and his associates, which paint a complex picture of the relationship.
One particular exchange stands out: an email from Epstein to a friend asking where he was spending Thanksgiving in 2017. Epstein's response – "eva" – appears to be a veiled reference to Eva Andersson-Dubin, a woman who later testified at Ghislaine Maxwell's sex-trafficking trial. The White House confirms that Trump spent the 2017 Thanksgiving holiday at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach.
These revelations add another layer of depth to the already murky narrative surrounding Epstein and his associations with high-profile individuals, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who reportedly engaged in a series of private email exchanges with Epstein. The emails from this exchange have been cited by some as evidence of Trump's mental acuity or instability. However, Epstein himself appears to have mocked Trump's mental stability.
One such instance occurred on December 22, 2018, when Epstein told Summers that Trump was "borderline insane." In response, Summers asked if Trump would crack under the pressure. Epstein replied, "this is not a new phenomenon for him; in the past he was told not to come out of his apartment. That's how he got through his last personal bankruptcy."
This exchange highlights the complex web of relationships between these high-profile figures and raises questions about their judgment and decision-making processes.
Epstein also appears to have been well-informed about Trump's election campaign and subsequent scandals. In one email, Epstein claims to have possessed a photo of Donald and girls in bikinis – an unsubstantiated claim that could suggest Epstein was aware of or even involved in the accusations leveled against Trump by his accusers.
Furthermore, these newly released emails demonstrate that Epstein actively tapped into his vast network of international connections to lay groundwork ahead of Trump's 2018 meeting with Vladimir Putin. In an email to Thorbjorn Jagland, the former prime minister of Norway and secretary general of the Council of Europe at the time, Epstein suggested Russia's officials contact him for "insight" before their scheduled meeting with Trump.
These findings have sparked renewed scrutiny of Trump's relationship with Epstein, who was convicted of sex trafficking minors in 2008. The White House has maintained that these emails prove nothing more than Trump did nothing wrong – a statement that seems increasingly dubious given the mounting evidence of his association with a convicted sex offender.
