Jeffrey Epstein described Donald Trump as “corrupt” and “extremely wicked” in recently released emails. The emails were part of a collection of 23,000 documents provided to the US House Oversight Committee by Epstein’s estate following his death. They also disclosed that Epstein had advised Russian officials on how to handle Trump just weeks before the former US President’s meeting with Vladimir Putin. One document revealed a conversation in August 2018 between Epstein and Kathy Reummler, a former White House Counsel associate, discussing Michael Cohen, Trump’s former “fixer.”
Cohen was reportedly contemplating cooperating with an investigation into illegal payments to Karen McDougal, a porn actress. In the email exchange, Reummler pointed out the significance of Cohen’s lack of disclosure and deceptive behavior, indicating his awareness of the illegal nature of the payments. Epstein responded by highlighting Trump’s unethical behavior, emphasizing the potential consequences of Cohen cooperating.
Shortly after this exchange, Cohen pled guilty to multiple charges, implicating Trump in various financial and campaign violations. Trump was subsequently convicted on multiple counts related to payments made to Stormy Daniels. Epstein, in another email to New York Times journalist Landon Thomas Jr, labeled Trump as “unbelievably evil” and expressed concerns about his reckless actions. The correspondence also revealed Epstein’s involvement in offering guidance to high-ranking Russian officials on managing Trump.
Epstein’s communication with Thorbjørn Jagland, the former Prime Minister of Norway, indicated his efforts to influence international matters. The emails suggested Epstein’s attempts to arrange meetings with Russian diplomats, particularly in light of Trump’s interactions with Putin. In subsequent emails criticizing Trump’s conduct at a summit, Epstein and others expressed dismay over Trump’s behavior and speculated about potential Russian influence.
