President Donald Trump's relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein continued into his first term in the
White House, so much so that Epstein spent
Thanksgiving with Trump while the president was in office, according to newly released emails written by the late financier.

And it gets even worse
Epstein’s relationship with the Israeli government has long been the subject of speculation and conspiracy theorizing. But the extent of the connections has long been difficult to prove. That is, until October 2024, when the Palestinian group Handala released a tranche of more than 100,000 hacked emails from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who led the country from 1999 to 2001.
The emails span the years 2013-16, beginning just before Barak concluded his nearly six-year tenure as Israel’s minister of defense. Barak is known to have been one of Epstein’s closest associates, with the Wall Street Journal reporting that he visited the financier’s estates in Florida and New York more than 30 times between 2013 and 2017, years after Epstein had been convicted for soliciting a minor for prostitution.
Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most prominent victims, who died earlier this year,
alleged in her posthumous memoir that a figure, described only as “the Prime Minister,” but widely believed to be Barak, violently raped her on Epstein’s private Caribbean island when she was 18. In past court filings, Giuffre accused Barak of sexually assaulting her. Barak has categorically denied those allegations and said he was unaware of Epstein’s activities with minors during the time of their friendship.

And with more to come out, damage control isn't working
“This is the bombshell of the story that simply will not go away as hard as Donald
Trump is trying to make the Jeffrey Epstein matter go away — it simply won't,” Lemire reported.
“And it was sort of a panicked behavior,” he remarked. “That's how people put it to me yesterday in the White House, when we started seeing those emails, when Trump himself, as well as some of his top DOJ officials, pushed Republicans to remove their names from the discharge petition, unsuccessfully — it still was signed. It still hit the number of votes needed.”
”There's a sense here that this is the story,” he added. “The epic story has gained really momentum, and it's not quite clear where it goes next, but it's certainly taking a real toll on this presidency.”
With the vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking files in Congress imminent, and its bipartisan passage in the House all but guaranteed, the action will turn to the Senate, where it will have to overcome the filibuster and get a significant amount of Republican support there as...
