It was Epstein's business to cultivate social contacts with the rich and powerful. Some suggest he was building a clientele network for his child prostitution ring, others say he was clandestinely working either for the CIA or Mossad, on a mission of luring the powerful names into honey-pot traps and archiving evidence that can be used to manipulate them when the time requires it. In New York City, Trump is a name that Epstein obviously cannot ignore. Trump had long made public that he has been a social friend of Epstein since the 1990s.
Epstein was charged in 2006 (Obama admin) for sexually abusing dozens of underage girls in Florida. In 2008 he struck a deal with US Attorney Alexander Acosta. He pleaded guilty to two reduced charges of soliciting prostitution and soliciting a minor. The secret non-prosecution agreement (NPA) protected Epstein from federal charges and also granted immunity to his un-named co-conspirators. All court documents were sealed. He was sentenced to 18 months but served only 13 months. He was allowed work release of 12 hours a day 6 days a week. His cell was air-conditioned and food was catered from outside. No sweeter a deal has there ever been for a child prostitution case.
On 6 Jul 2019 (Trump admin) Federal prosecutors in NY charged Epstein with sex trafficking and conspiracy involving dozens of under-aged girls, some as young as 14. He was denied bail and held in custody at Metropolitan Correction Center in Manhattan. On 10 Aug 2019 he was found deal in his jail cell. Official cause was suicide by hanging (from his bedpost), but circumstances remain controversial.
Trump's celebrity status, eventual presidency, and connections to other powerful men, make him a focus of media and public speculation. His name appears in Epstein's contact book, as do hundreds of others, including celebrities, politicians, and journalists. Inclusion alone does not imply misconduct. He was never a suspect in the cases involving Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein. His name appears in flight logs and other released documents sparingly and often in incidental contexts.
The open feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has re-ignited interest in the president's involvement in Epstein's sex trafficking of young girls to an elite network. Musk tweeted a few times to tantalise and tease that the truth about Trump's involvement has not been fully disclosed. He threw a jab below the belt and floated two photos of Trump at Epstein parties knowing full well these are nothing new, having been publicly available for decades.
Trump's name once again gets dragged through mud. Democrats are asking for inquiry and full disclosure of the Epstein Files. They seem to forget that it was Obama's admin that buried Epstein Files and one of Trump's 2020 and 2024 campaign promises was full disclosure of everything. Trump's DOJ and FBI took a long time for full revelation of the files due to need to protect some 200 victims and the fact documents were concealed by renegade liberal staffers. AG Pam Bondi's final release of the files did not provide any explosive new revelation which disappointed many conservative investigators. FBI director Kash Patel and his assistant Dan Bongino were to later announce from the evidence they have seen, Epstein indeed committed suicide. Many from the MAGA camp remain unconvinced.
Back in 2016, the leftist media went after Trump to try to discredit him. They are now reviving the same doggone pursuit to try to bring him down. The lack of evidence against Trump is so obvious only the blind cannot see. In the eight years that the Left had thrown everything including not just two impeachments but the kitchen sink at Trump, any fool can conclude that had the Deep State any tiny sliver of information against Trump in the Epstein Files, it would have long leaked to the press. Meanwhile, no media has paid any attention to the painting of Bill Clinton sitting comfortably in Epstein's private museum.
We don't know what is the real reason for Elon Musk to explode against Trump. Indication is something in the Big Beautiful Bill displeases Musk. Personally, I have always understood there is always a kinetic fault line between the two that will erupt sooner or later. Musk's extreme wealth lies in Tesla which is a recipient of massive subsidies from the government for his EV vehicles, and Climate-Change-Industrial hoax is something Trump is not a fan of. The twain can never meet.
There is a further suggestion that Trump's withdrawal of billionaire Jared Isaacman as nominee for Administrator of NASA is a factor. Trump withdrew Isaacman as nominee after finding out he is a donor of Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Isaacman is Musk's buddy whose appointment as Administrator of NASA would be extremely cosy as Musk's Space X is basically the prime contractor for NASA's space missions.
Well, here' a litmus test no one's talking about, least of all old communist Bernie Sanders who quotes all the time of Trump's admin being one for the oligarchs. And all couch potato Trump haters who think they are better at running a country of US$30 trillion GDP and a badly divided people of 320 million, see it in simplistic terms of clash of megalomaniacs or super egos. When it comes to Trump it is strange that even highly educated folks are fixated on primeval ad hominems. They cannot see in here a policies vs favour for oligarchs issue. Trump admin stick to policies. .
In 2004 Trump out-bid Epstein for this 6 acre beachfront estate in a bankruptcy auction. According to many reports, Trump's winning bid of US$41 million angered Epstein who put in a competitive bid. This episode soured their relationship. They were no longer social friends since 2004. Trump renovated the property and in 2008 sold it for a high premium to Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev at US$94 million.
In 2005 when Epstein was arrested for criminal offences against minors, Trump severed their relationship. Not so the hundreds of celebrities, journalists, politicians (including Bill Clinton and Bill Gates) and powerful men who remained friends. After Epstein was arrested again in 2019 for trafficking minors, all his high profile friends want Epstein Files never be opened, which their Deep State connections obliged. Trump wanted the files be released to the public.
In 2007 Epstein was found to have harassed a young girl working at Mar-a-Lago. Trump immediately banned Epstein from the golf club. Although the girl was never named, the time and place of incident pointed to Virginia Giufre, then known as Virginia Roberts. Giufre was recruited by Ghislain Maxwell from Mar-a-Lago and was trafficked to Epstein's elite clients, including Prince Andrew. Giufre was one of the key witnesses in the cases against Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein of sexual abuse and international trafficking of young girls.
One should ask how many businessman in Singapore would rather sack the young service staff than a millionaire customer/friend under similar circumstances?
On 31 Mar 2025 Giufre was involved in a car collision and hospitalised and later discharged. On 25 April she was found unresponsive at her farm and pronounced dead under non-suspicious circumstances, aka apparent suicide. Going against powerful men who want their secrets to remain secret, Guifre had reason to fear for her life. Months earlier she had declared in a tweet that she was not suicidal. In death, she is now just another datapoint in the 'Clinton body bag count'.
Epstein was first charged in 2006 for sexually abusing under-aged girls in Florida. He got away with a light sentence in a plea bargain deal and all documents were sealed. Guifre was not called as a witness. She was one of the many victims totally ignored under the plea deal. She later sued the government under the Crime Victims' Rights Act, arguing the NCP plea deal violated victims' rights by being kept secret.
Guifre bravely pursued lawsuits against powerful figures, including Prince Andrew who settled the case in 2022. Up till her death, she remained a strong voice for survivors of Epstein's sex ring.
In her 2016 deposition relating to legal proceedings against Ghislaine Maxwell, Giufre explicitly said she did not believe Trump was involved in Epstein's sex trafficking ring. She said under oath:
"I never saw Donald Trump at any of Epstein's sex parties, and I never saw him act inappropriately."
In 2019 court documents, she said though she was aware of Trump and Maxwell in social settings, she had no direct experience or allegations implicating Trump in any wrong doing. She was asked :
Q: "It's true that you have never seen Donald Trump at one of Jeffrey Epstein's parties?"
A: "Correct."
Q: "And you never saw him act inappropriately with underage girls?"
A: "Correct."
Little St James Island is part of US Virgin Islands. Epstein bought it for US$7.95m in 1998. He developed it significantly between 2009-2013. Multiple sources, including witness testimonies, investigative reports, former employees and victims said that Epstein had surveillance cameras installed throughout his properties, including bedrooms. He monitored guests and recorded compromising activities, possibly for blackmail or influence. In 2019 FBI raided Epstein's NY townhouse and seized hundreds of CDs and DVDs labelled with names and dates. This suggests sophisticated surveillance to gather kompromat (compromising material). These evidence has never been disclosed.
Have you been paying attention? Trump haters don't pay attention to details like this. You can't find any evidence of Trump having been there because he has never been there, period. Trump had severed relations with Epstein in 2005 long before the island was redeveloped by Epstein by 2013.
In a transparent admin, AG Bondi released the Epstein Files which showed Trump appeared 7 times in the manifest of Epstein's plane between 1993 and 1997. None of the flights were to the island which Epstein has not yet acquired. Several times Trump traveled with his children, their nanny and his then wife Maria Maples. If you were doing hanky panky outside, would you bring your family members into the social orbit of the man who is supplying you the 'chickens'? We know at least Bill Gates and many others don't do that.
In June 2016 a certain "Jane Doe" filed a case in New York federal court. Details were the same as the Katie Johnson filing and it was assumed plaintiff was one and the same woman, but this time with legal representation. The allegations were the same, but this time it included 2 affidavits of witnesses known as "Tiffany Doe" and "Joan Doe". She had planned a press conference in November 2016, but cancelled the presscon and withdrew the lawsuit, citing threats to her safety. Again, are you paying attention? It was days before the election. The damage to Trump has been done. Mission accomplished.
Michael Cohen was Trump's personal attorney from 2006-2018. In 2018 he pleaded guilty to charges of campaign finance violations, tax fraud, bank fraud and lying to Congress, all connected to actions taken at Trump's request. He was disbarred and sentenced to 3 years in federal prison. He has earned a reputation of a pathological liar. As a star witness in the case of accounting fraud relating to the payment to porn star Stormy Daniels brought by NY DA Alvin Bragg against Trump, Cohen lied, and admitted he lied in court. Cohen has a huge axe to grind against Trump. Yesterday. MSNBC had him on prime time to score some hits against Trump in the Epstein controversy. MSNBC was not expecting Cohen to say:
"I have extensive knowledge of Trump, being by his side for almost a decade and a half. Let me dispel all of that notion. While he knew Jeffrey Epstein, and while, yes, he may be in the files in the form of Trump being in the black book, so were hundreds and hundreds of very name-worthy, influential individuals. I have zero knowledge of any relationship between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, and I would have seen it over the course of my time with him."
"In fact, there was one case that came up—it was a Jane Doe vs. Donald Trump—that brought this topic into question. What I ultimately discovered is that the Jane Doe, and there was an address in the Bronx… I sent an investigator to that address. I wanted to literally follow and find out who this Jane Doe was. There’s not even a building there. It was a vacant lot. I reached out to the lawyers. That was the first and only case that I had any knowledge of all of these allegations.The E. Jean Caroll lawsuits are eerily similar to the Jane Doe case. Another woman who made no police report of rape decades earlier surfaces around election time to file charges against Trump. Like Jane Doe, she filed pro se in Nov 2019, claiming Trump defamed her after she publicly accused Trump raped her in the dressing cubicle of a Bergdoff Goodman department store in NY City in mid-1990s (she can't remember date of incident). She filed a second related lawsuit in Nov 2022 under NY's Adult Survival Act, this time she was represented. In 2023 NY jury found Trump guilty of sexual assault and defamation and awarded plaintiff US$5m. The Democrat Judge Lewis Kaplan said it was rape even though the jury never said so. Jean Caroll brought another case of defamation against Trump in Jan 2024. She won again and was awarded US$83.3m by the same judge. Trump hasn't paid up a single cent pending appeal.
In the 2024 trial, defence discovered Jean Caroll case was fully funded by LinkedIn co-founder billionaire Reid Hoffman camouflaged via non-profit vehicle American Future Republic. Hoffman is a Trump-hating liberal and big time donor of Democrats. Judge Kaplan denied the defence discovery and sealed all financial records.
The Jane Doe case turned out to be similarly funded and driven by someone. In this case it was not politically driven. It was funded and the whole thing orchastrated by a man called Norm Lubow. The Guardian had put together a detailed account. Lubow was ex-producer of The Jerry Springer Show, recognised for staging sensational tabloid-style media events. He has track records of promoting unverified claims of high-profile cases such as OJ Simpson and Kurt Cobain. In the Jane Doe case he operated under fake name "Al Taylor", helped plaintiff assemble the lawsuit, drafted legal filing, produced a video of the accuser (in disguise) for public distribution. He promoted the allegations to media outlets, even attempting to sell the video for US$1m. As the case was withdrawn, once again the defence had no chance for discovery.
"The only thing that I can say about President Trump is that he is the only person who in 2009 when I served a lot of subpeonas, on a lot of people, I gave notice to some pretty connected people that I would want to talk to them, he's the only person who picked up the phone and said 'Let's just talk. I'll give you as much time as you want. I'll tell you what you need to know.' and was very helpful in the information he gave and gave no indication whatsoever that he was involved in anything untoward whatsoever but had good information which checked out and that helped us and we didn't have to take a deposition of it. That was in 2009."
The Musk-Trump fued has now given the Democrats, who are bankrupt of constructive ideas to counter Trump's popularity, to go on a fishing trip and push for full release of Epstein files. What would they do if they dig up Clinton dirt?
Going forward, Elon Musk needs to either tone down and retrack his Trump-Epstein allegations or provide more evidence. Failing which, he could be starring at a US$1 billion defamation law suit. As my blog goes to print, I see that Musk took down his two Trump-Epstein tweets yesterday.
Trump is one of the most maligned person I have ever seen. To have a fair sense of the various allegations against him, one needs to have skin in the game. A few tiktoks here and there carelessly shared in social media is one of the most unfair way to understand complex issues. I have been following this Epstein sex ring case ever since the 1990s as a corollary to the Robert Maxwell's mysterious death and his suspected association with CIA and Mossad which was my original interest.
