URGENT UPDATE: Newly uncovered emails reveal that Jeffrey Epstein accused former President Donald Trump of being involved in a potential money laundering scheme. This explosive allegation surfaced just as federal investigations were intensifying around Epstein in 2019.
A 2019 email obtained from Epstein’s communications indicates that he believed Trump may have misrepresented the value of his assets. This claim could have significant implications, as Trump was later hit with a $454 million fraud judgment in a 2024 civil court case in New York.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday, Mykhailo Golub, general manager of consultancy TLFRD, stated, “Trump was a frontman for money laundering, according to Epstein.” Golub shared the email dated January 15, 2019, which was part of a recent release of Epstein’s correspondence.
Epstein’s email suggests that he understood Trump’s financial dealings as deceptive. He wrote, “Donald doesn’t really own very much, he rents out his name. He puts it on building projects etc. for a royalty or piece of the upside.” He elaborated that Trump represented his income through gross receipts from his clubs, stating, “means nothing at all ZERO.”
This revelation comes as the legal fallout from Trump’s alleged inflation of asset values continues to unfold. New York Attorney General Letitia James has been pursuing civil charges against Trump for allegedly inflating the values of his company’s assets to secure favorable loan agreements.
Investigative journalist Barry Levine has suggested that Epstein’s self-addressed emails may have been a precautionary measure. He speculated that Epstein was aware of the impending federal scrutiny and aimed to document his connections to Trump in case his computers were seized by law enforcement.
The implications of these allegations are profound, highlighting potential financial misconduct at the highest levels of power. As legal battles continue, the public is left to ponder the ramifications of these accusations.
As this story develops, further updates are expected regarding Trump’s legal situation and Epstein’s role in the unfolding narrative. Stay tuned for the latest as authorities continue their investigations.
