Epstein-Trump live updates: Top administration officials set to meet after trove of bombshell emails released

Paedophile Jeffrey Epstein appeared to confirm a photo of Virginia Giuffre with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is real and claimed several of his staff had their picture taken with the former duke, according to newly released documents.

In an email to a journalist in 2011, the disgraced financier referred to Ms Giuffre and said: “The girl has fled the country with an outstanding arrest warrant.

“The da (sic) after she accused others, said in writing that she has no credibility, she was never 15 years old working for me, her story made it seem like she first worked for trump (sic) at that age and was met by ghislaine maxwell (sic).

Jeffrey Epstein told a journalist that Trump is “f***ing crazy” in the aftermath of the travel ban in January 2017.

“Donald is f***ing crazy I told you that,” Epstein wrote at the time.

In 2016, Epstein emailed a reporter that Trump “doesn’t like advice in general. he has no loyalty ZERO.”

The email was days after Trump was first elected in 2016 and seemed to refer to former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie as being snubbed a position in his administration.

In May 2017, Jeffrey Epstein sent an email calling President Donald Trump “dumb.”

“Your world does not understand how dumb he really is,” the disgraced financier wrote at the time.

The subject line was: “Is Donald still feeling good”

Days before sending an email to Treasury Secretary Larry Summers in December 2018, in which Epstein called Trump “borderline insane,” the convicted sex offender used the same term to describe the then-president when speaking to lawyer Reid Weingarten.

On December 20, Epstein wrote: “you might want to tell your dem friends that treating trump like a mafia don, ignores the fact that he has great dangerous power.. tightening the noose too slowly, risks a very bad situation.. gambino was never the commander in chief. there was little gambino could do as the walls closed in. not so with this maniac borderline insane. and corroberated by some that are close”

Peter Mandelson served as Britain’s ambassador to the United States until his ties to Epstein were unveiled; he was fired in September.

Here’s part of an email exchange he had with Epstein in 2016.

In another email exchange from August 2018, Epstein and former White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler discussed Bret Stephens’s New York Times op-ed titled “Donald Trump’s High Crimes and Misdemeanors,” which made the case for his impeachment.

That column touched on Trump’s hush money arrangement to cover up payments to Stormy Daniels, via Michael Cohen. Trump would later be criminally convicted of falsifying records in New York in a case that stemmed from those allegations.

Epstein wrote: “I think he makes the argument that it was his, trumps money , making it not illegal. though he also said he only found out afterwards? and the fact according to the indicment was billed as services rendered and grossed up. im sure his acct has flipped anyway. I did talk in detail to starr yesterday re indicments how trump can make a deal ( special counsel) . clintons trash can yes start gave me more. YECHHHH!”

“It makes no difference whether it was his money,” Ruemmler replied. “Issue is failure to disclose. Plus, fact that he has lied his ass off about it makes clear that he knew it was illegal.”

Epstein then wrote: “you see, i know how dirty donald is. my guess is that non lawyers ny biz people have no idea. what it means to have your fixer flip”

In an email exchange with former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers in December 2018, Jeffrey Epstein called Trump “borderline insane” and lawyer Alan Dershowitz “a few feet further from the border.”

“trump – borderline insane,” Epstein wrote, according to emails published by the House Oversight Committee.

“dersh, a few feet further from the border but not by much,” he added.

The author Michael Wolff speculated about what was in the files relating to the Jeffrey Epstein case in a podcast aired just hours before emails he sent to the disgraced financier mentioning Donald Trump were made public.
