Newly disclosed emails have shed light on Jeffrey Epstein’s negative opinion of Donald Trump, branding him as “dirty” and “evil beyond belief.” These revelations emerged from a trove of 23,000 documents provided to the US House Oversight Committee by Epstein’s estate following the disgraced financier’s death.
Among the emails, Epstein was found advising Russian individuals on how to handle Trump just weeks before the former President’s meeting with Vladimir Putin. In one exchange from August 2018, Epstein discussed with Kathy Reummler, a former White House Counsel associate, about Trump’s former fixer, Michael Cohen, who was reportedly contemplating cooperating with authorities regarding alleged illicit payments to Karen McDougal. Reummler highlighted the significance of Cohen’s failure to disclose information and his dishonesty, to which Epstein responded by emphasizing Trump’s unscrupulous nature.
Subsequently, Cohen pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including tax evasion and campaign finance violations, implicating Trump in the process. Epstein, in another email conversation with New York Times journalist Landon Thomas Jr, described Trump as “evil beyond belief,” rejecting the idea of reaching out to Trump to mitigate his behavior due to the President’s erratic actions.
Moreover, Epstein disclosed his involvement in offering guidance to senior Russian officials on handling Trump, showcasing his efforts to exert influence globally. Notably, Epstein corresponded with Thorbjørn Jagland, the former Prime Minister of Norway, regarding interactions with Russian figures, including a late UN ambassador, Vitaly Churkin. Epstein’s messages indicated his insights into Trump’s behavior and the dynamics of international relations.
Epstein’s communications also highlighted his observations on Trump’s performance during significant events, such as the Helsinki summit with Putin, where Epstein criticized Trump’s conduct to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers. The exchanges captured Epstein’s opinions on Trump’s demeanor and the perceived implications of his actions on the international stage.
