THE TRUMP AND EPSTEIN CONNECTION - PART 1
In order to understand how Trump fits into this Network we have to go back 100 years in history when we see organized crime rise within the Prohibition
The Mafia and Blackmail
During the 1920’s and 1930’s, bootleggers teamed up and laid the foundation for an underground network that still can be seen today. Samuel Bronfman began bootlegging alcohol in Canada and brought his knowledge to the US. The Bronfmans, “brandy man” in Yiddish, also owned a chain of hotels, which would be used at network checkpoints for bootlegging. The family would team up with the National Crime Syndicate, which consisted of many Italian-American and Jewish-American mob families.
Years later, Samuel Bronfman’s children and grandchildren, their family’s ties to the criminal underworld intact, would go on to associate closely with Leslie Wexner, allegedly the source of much of Epstein’s mysterious wealth, and other mob-linked “philanthropists,” and some would even manage their own sexual blackmail operations, including the recently busted blackmail-based “sex cult” NXIVM.
One of Samuel Bronfman’s partners was Lewis Rosentiel, who owned the Schenley Products Company, which would become one of the largest liquor companies in North America.
Rosenstiel also had close ties with the FBI, developing a close relationship with longtime FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and making Hoover’s right-hand man, Louis Nichols, the Vice President of his Schenley empire in 1957.
Rosenstiel hosted extravagant parties that included “boy prostitutes” that her husband had hired “for the enjoyment” of certain guests, which included important government officials and prominent figures in America’s criminal underworld. These were the early version of “blackmail parties”.
Bronfman and Rosentiel became extremely powerful and became connected to the renowned mobster Meyer Lansky. Lansky is one of the most notorious gangsters in the history of American organized crime and is notable for being the only famous mobster rising tonotoriety in the 1920s who managed to die an old man and never serve a day in jail.
Lansky also had close ties to the CIA and U.S. military intelligence. During World War II, Lansky, along with his associate Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, worked with Naval intelligence in what was codenamed “Operation Underworld,” an operation the existence of which the government denied for over 40 years.
This network became extremely efficient in blackmailing politicians and powerful people, which would in turn force more people to join the network. The FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover was one of these people. Like Rosenstiel, Hoover was well-known for amassing blackmail on friend and foe alike. Hoover’s office contained “secret files” on numerous powerful people in Washington and beyond, files he used to gain favors and protect his status as FBI director for as long as he wished.
What’s interesting is that Hoover was also very close to Donald Trump’s advisor, Roy Cohn, who was closely associated with the Reagan White House, the CIA, the FBI, organized crime and many figure who would later surround Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump’s Advisor and Mafia Fixer, Roy Cohn
The relationship between Cohn and Rosenstiel was a like a twisted father and son relationship. One of the “blackmail parties” Susan Kaufman attended with her then-husband Lewis Rosenstiel was hosted by Cohn in 1958 at Manhattan’s Plaza Hotel, suite 233.
In the 1960s, fame was the thing to have, and Cohn wanted to be surround himself with it. He started frequenting the most expensive, elite hangouts and attended parties he knew high-profile celebrities and politicians would attend. Around this time, Cohn connected with members of multiple New York mafia families. He became the main legal representation for La Cosa Nostra, the Italian mob. Both the Gambino crime family and the Genovese crime family used Cohn as their “get out of jail free” card, and he gave their members a media spotlight that convinced the public they couldn’t be criminals.
In the book, The Franklin Cover-Up, Cohn had admitted to being part of a sexual blackmail operation targeting politicians with child prostitutes during a sit-down interview with the former detective:
“Cohn’s job was to run the little boys. Say you had an admiral, a general, a congressman, who did not want to go along with the program. Cohn’s job was to set them up, then they would go along. Cohn told me that himself.”
Though it is unknown how long the sex ring at the Plaza Hotel continued, and whether it continued after Cohn’s death from AIDS in 1986, it is worth noting that Donald Trump purchased the Plaza Hotel in 1988.
It would later be reported and confirmed by then-attendees that Trump “used to host parties in suites at the Plaza Hotel when he owned it, where young women and girls were introduced to older, richer men” and “illegal drugs and young women were passed around and used.”
Cohn referred to Donald Trump as his best friend. Cohn told journalists that Trump phoned him 15 to 20 times a day and according to Seymour's notes, Trump was the last person to speak to Cohn on the phone before he died in 1986.
On May 2nd, 1983, there was a Testimonial Dinner in honor of Roy Cohn at the Plaza Hotel. It was organized by the B’nai B’rith Banking and Finance Lodge, which was the pre-cursor organization to the ADL (Anti-Defamation League). Roy Cohn’s father, Albert Cohn, was the long-time president of B’nai B’rith’s powerful New England-New York chapter and Roy Cohn himself was a member of B’nai B’rith’s Banking and Finance Lodge.
This dinner included all the major players who formed the pre-cursor Epstein Network - Source
The attendees included:
Donald Trump
Alan Greenberg
Head of Bear Sterns and the person who hired Jeffrey Epstein
Rupert Murdoch
Murdoch was the top media ally of the Casey-directed propaganda effort, and also became increasingly close to the Reagan White House. Murdoch, as a consequence, benefited greatly from Reagan’s policies and his friendship with the administration, which allowed Murdoch to increase his U.S. media holdings and to create the Fox Broadcasting Corporation in 1987.
Ronald Lauder
Heir to the Estee Lauder Cosmetic Fortune, President of the World Jewish Congress, US Amassador of Austria for the Reagan Administration, friend of Donald Trump since the 70’s, Provided Epstein with an Austrian passport with a fake name.
Donald Trump was also friends with Lauder and Greenberg who began his friendship with Epstein in 1987. Epstein also began his relationship with his principal financier, Leslie Wexner, who is also closely associated with Lauder.
What’s interesting is that these men formed the group known as the Mega Group in 1991 but they also did business with Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell throughout the 80’s.
The Mega Group and Maxwell
The Mega Group was a secretive group of billionaires formed in 1991 by Charles Bronfman and Leslie Wexner. Groups associated with the Mega Group include the World Jewish Congress, whose past president, Edgar Bronfman, and current president, Ronald Lauder, are both Mega Group members and B’nai B’rith, particularly its spin-off known as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The Bronfman brothers were major donors to the ADL, with Edgar Bronfman serving as the ADL’s honorary national vice-chair for several years.
Mega Group members have also been key players in the pro-Israel lobby in the United States. For instance, Max Fisher of the Mega Group founded the National Jewish Coalition, now known as the Republican Jewish Coalition — the main pro-Israel neoconservative political lobbying group, known for its support of hawkish policies, and whose current chief patrons, Sheldon Adelson and Bernard Marcus, are among Donald Trump’s top donors.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, Robert Maxwell, partnered with the Bronfman brothers, Edgar and Charles, key figures in the Mega Group. In 1989 Maxwell and Charles Bronfman partnered up to bid on the Jerusalem Post newspaper and the Post described the two men as “two of the world’s leading Jewish financiers” and their interest in the venture as “developing The Jerusalem Post and expanding its influence among world Jewry.” A year prior, Maxwell and Bronfman had become top shareholders in the Israeli pharmaceutical company Teva.
According to Victor Ostrovsky, a former Mossad case officer:
“Mossad was financing many of its operations in Europe from money stolen from Maxwell’s newspaper pension fund. They got their hands on the funds almost as soon as Maxwell made the purchase of the Mirror Newspaper Group with money lent to him by Mossad.”
After it was revealed that Epstein had evaded stricter sentencing in 2008 due to his links to “intelligence,” it was the Mossad ties of Ghislaine Maxwell’s father that have led many to speculate that Epstein’s sexual blackmail operation was sharing incriminating information with the Mossad.
Jeffrey Epstein was also a long-time friend of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who has long-standing and deep ties to Israel’s intelligence community. Their decades-long friendship has been the source of recent political attacks targeting Barak, who is running in the Israeli elections against current Prime Minister Netanyahu later this year.
Barak is also close to Epstein’s chief patron and Mega Group member Leslie Wexner, whose Wexner Foundation gave Barak $2 million in 2004 for a still unspecified research program. According to Barak, he was first introduced to Epstein by former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, who eulogized Robert Maxwell at his funeral and had decades-long ties with the Bronfman family going back to the early 1950s.
The Epstein Timeline
Sometime in February 1974, former U.S. intelligence agent Donald Barr, father of William Barr, announces that he is leaving his position as headmaster at Dalton at the end of the school year. Later he hires Jeffrey Epstein to begin work the following September, teaching math and science.
Donald Barr’s son, William Barr, serves as the United States Attorney General in the George H. W. Bush Adminstration and Trump Administration. He also worked for the CIA from 1971 to 1977 during Roy Cohn’s reign as the Mafia’s fixer.
On August 18, 1981, after being fired from Bear Stearns, Jeffrey Epstein launches his own consulting firm, Intercontinental Assets Group Inc (IAG). The name is fitting because Epstein and his company specialize in transnational crime and government assets — money and people.
After leaving Bear Stearns and working as an alleged financial “bounty hunter” for clients that are said to have included the Iran-Contra-linked arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, Epstein would come into contact with Leslie Wexner, a billionaire close to the Meyer Lansky-linked Bronfman family, who himself was tied to members of organized crime syndicates once represented by Cohn.
Roy Cohn’s influence in the Reagan administration and his friendship with the Reagan family and their inner circle has been acknowledged, less well-known is how Cohn aided the CIA’s covert propaganda efforts that were part of the larger scandal known as Iran-Contra.
CIA Director and Cohn friend William Casey was spearheading an extensive PR campaign aimed at shoring up public support for Reagan’s Latin American policies, including support of the Contra paramilitaries. Cohn and Casey were most likely running sexual blackmail operations that abused and exploited children during the Reagan administration.
One of Epstein’s new clients is Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, who is currently smuggling weapons from Israel to Iran on behalf of the Reagan administration (the Iran-Contra affair).
On March 26, 1984, President Ronald Reagan awarded Norman Vincent Peal the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the highest civilian honor in the United States).
Mary L. Trump in Too Much and Never Enough wrote that Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, was heavily influenced by 33 Degree Freemason Norman Vincent Peale. As a child, Donald Trump attended Marble Collegiate Church with his parents, Fred and Mary. Both he and his two sisters, Maryanne and Elizabeth, were married there. Trump has repeatedly praised Peale and cited him as a formative influence.
Sometime in 1985, Osama Bin Laden’s half brother Shafig Bin Laden pays a $8,500 security deposit for an apartment in Trump Tower.
On December 27th, 1985, Donald Trump becomes the new owner of the Mar-a-Lago estate, a 17-acre property with a Mediterranean-style mansion made up of over 100 rooms.
On August 2nd, 1986, Roy Cohn dies.
In 1987, Donald Trump buys a “surveillance yacht” from Saudi arms smuggler Adnan Khashoggi for $30 million.
Adnan Khashoggi was close with the Trump and Maxwell Family.
Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, owned a yacht called the Lady Ghislaine, which was also purchased from the Khashoggi family.
Donald Trump meets Jeffery Epstein sometime in 1987. In an interview with New York magazine in 2002, Trump says that he’s known Epstein, or “Jeff,” for 15 years:
Epstein likes to tell people that he’s a loner, a man who’s never touched alcohol or drugs, and one whose nightlife is far from energetic. And yet if you talk to Donald Trump, a different Epstein emerges. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
Donald Trump buys the New York City Plaza Hotel from future campaign adviser Tom Barrack for somewhere between $390 million and $410 million.
On May 16th, 1989, Robert Maxwell had a party on his yacht.
Notable guests included:
Donald Trump
John Tower (worked with Maxwell on Mossad Promis software)
John Lehman (Henry Kissinger staffer)
Tom Bolan (Law partner of Roy Cohn)
Mort Janklow (Literary agent to Pope John Paul II, Reagan, Barbara Walters, and US Presidents)
Thomas Pickering (Henry Kissinger Staffer and US Ambassador to Israel)
Peter Kalikow (Former Commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey)
Ghislaine Maxwell
Robert Maxwell and Donald Trump also shared the same U.S. publicist, Howard Rubenstein, who's friends with the Kushner family. Rubenstein’s other clients included:
Rupert Murdoch
Adnan Khashoggi
George Steinbrenner
Leona Helmsley
Kathie Lee Gifford
In 1989, after the Saudi businessman Adnan Khashoggi, was implicated in the Iran–Contra affair and was indicted for fraud and other charges, Rubenstein arranged for Khashoggi to give an interview to The New York Post. In it, Khashoggi professed his love of New York and Jewish food, and claimed to have a Jewish grandfather, possibility to convey his haimish qualities to a future jury pool.
On April 2, 1990, the Trump Taj Mahal opens its doors. On opening night, Donald Trump walked next to Michael Jackson.
In the Maxwell Court Case, specifically in Johanna Sjoberg Depostiion on 05/16/2016 it was said Jeffrey Epstein was close to:
David Copperfield
Leonardo Dicarprio
Cate Blanchett
Bruce Willis
Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson and Bruce Willis both owned apartments in Trump Tower during the 90's to early 2000's.
One of the Taj Mahal’s senior employees, Danny Sau Keung Leung, is an associate of a China-based international crime syndicate. He was identified as a leader of organized crime in Canada years before. The U.S. Senate identifies him as a member of the 14K Triad in 1992.
Donald Trump can’t afford an upcoming $47.3 million interest payment on the Trump Taj Mahal’s debt, so he plans to offer new “junk bonds” to bondholders to reduce the cost of the interest payments.
Trump’s future Commerce secretary and Senior Managing Director of Rothschild Inc., Wilbur Ross, tells the New York Times that the move has worse consequences for everyone involved than just filing bankruptcy. Trump, Ross says, is scamming his bondholders:
”What he is asking the bondholders to do is to make him a couple of hundred million dollars as a present,” said Wilbur Ross, which has been retained by the bondholders’ steering committee. ”We think it’s a little too early for Christmas….
In 1990, Epstein buys his Palm Beach home and becomes Trump’s neighbor. The drive from Mar-a-Lago to Epstein’s house takes only five minutes, and Trump visits at least once.
On October 27, 1991, Seymour M. Hersh publishes The Samson Option: Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal and American Foreign Policy, which includes claims that Robert Maxwell works for Mossad. Maxwell is found dead about a week later.
The accusations come from Ari Ben-Menashe, an Israeli-Canadian businessman, lobbyist, security consultant, and self-proclaimed former officer of Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate (Mossad). Ben-Menashe tried telling the press about Maxwell’s Israeli bosses years earlier, but papers were too afraid of Maxwell’s influence to print the allegations.
On November 5th, 1991, Robert Maxwell died mysteriously and his body was found in the Atlantic Ocean.
In 1991, Trump sold his yacht to Saudi Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal.
On November 1st, 1992, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell are caught on film with Donald Trump during a party at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. This is the first known public sighting of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell together, as well as the first photographic record of either of them with Donald Trump.
In 1993, Evan Chandler said Michael Michael Jackson sexually abused him and even Jackson's staff reported inappropirate behavior. Chandler described Michael as 'hostile and evil'.
Also in 1993, Michael's sister La Toya Jackson said Michael was a pedophile. She said she had seen checks made out to different boys' families and that Jackson's own childhood physical abuse had turned him into an abuser. She and her then-husband Jack Gordon also said that Jackson had tried to kidnap and kill her.
The Clinton Friendship
On September 15th, 1993, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell attend an event at the White House and mingle with President Bill Clinton.
The sex traffickers take a tour of Clinton’s residence and the East Room during a reception hosted by Bill and Hillary. The event is for donors who contributed to the White House Historical Association’s renovation project. Epstein had donated over $10,000.
When one thinks back to the now-famous Iran-Contra scandal, names like Ronald Reagan, Oliver North and Barry Seal comes to mind, but former President Bill Clinton also played an outsized role in the scandal — using his home state of Arkansas, where he was then serving as governor, as a sort of rallying point for the CIA’s U.S.-side of the Central American operation.
According to the New Yorker, Lynn Forester de Rothschild requested “financial help” from none other than Jeffrey Epstein in 1993 during her divorce from Andrew Stein.
Before marrying into the Rothschild family in 2000, Lynn had previously been married to Andrew Stein, a major figure in New York Democratic politics, with whom she had two sons. Andrew’s brother, James Finkelstein, married Cathy Frank, the granddaughter of Lewis Rosenstiel, the mob-linked businessman who ran a sexual blackmail operation exploiting underage boys.
As far as Forester de Rothschild’s ties to the Mega Group go, she is currently on the board of directors of Estee Lauder companies, which was founded and is still owned by the family of Ronald Lauder — a member of the Mega Group, a former Reagan official, a family friend of Roy Cohn, and the alleged source of Jeffrey Epstein’s now-infamous Austrian passport. In addition, Forester de Rothschild also partnered with Matthew Bronfman — son of Mega Group member Edgar Bronfman and grandson of Samuel Bronfman, who had close ties to Meyer Lansky — in creating the investment advisory firm Bronfman E.L. Rothschild LP.
She was also introduced to her second husband, Evelyn de Rothschild, by Henry Kissinger at a Bilderberg conference. Several of the individuals connected to the Mega Group and the Mossad-linked media mogul Robert Maxwell — including Mark Palmer, Max Fisher and John Lehman — were one-time aides or advisers to Henry Kissinger.
In 1995, Forester de Rothschild, then a member of Clinton’s National Information Infrastructure Advisory Council, wrote the following to then-President Clinton:
“Dear Mr. President: It was a pleasure to see you recently at Senator Kennedy’s house. There was too much to discuss and too little time. Using my fifteen seconds of access to discuss Jeffrey Epstein and currency stabilization, I neglected to talk to you about a topic near and dear to my heart. Namely, affirmative action and the future.”
It is unclear when Lynn Forester de Rothschild first met Jeffrey Epstein, but she was one of his leading advocates and had the ear of then-President Bill Clinton in the early 1990s, speaking to Clinton specifically about Epstein during her “fifteen seconds of access” with the president and also introducing Epstein to lawyer Alan Dershowitz in 1996.
In 1995, Saudi prince Al-Waleed bin Talal purchases a controlling stake in the Plaza, saving Trump from bankruptcy.
On June 18th, 1996, Benjamin Netanyahu becomes the Prime Minister of Israel. Netanyahu is a close family friend of the Kushner family, even sleeping in Jared’s childhood bed during visits. Netanyahu will remain Prime Minister until 1999 and resume the role in March 2009:
“Netanyahu has long been a friend of the Kushners, and particularly Jared’s dad, Charles Kushner, a major donor to pro-Israel and Jewish causes. One time, Kantor reports – she doesn’t specify when – Jared gave up his bed and moved to the basement so Netanyahu could spend the night at their home in Livingston, New Jersey.”
- The Jerusalem Post
January 5th, 1997, Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and alleged Epstein client Glenn Dubin fly from Palm Beach to New Jersey in Epstein’s private jet. The flight logs for the day are revealed in August 2019 when almost 2,000 court documents from a defamation lawsuit are unsealed. Also on the flight are Ghislaine Maxwell, Eva Dubin, and Jeffrey’s brother Mark Epstein.
On January 10, 1997, or possibly a week before, a reporter for The New Yorker is given a ride to Palm Beach while doing a story on Donald Trump. Mark Singer (the reporter) and Trump are joined on his private jet by Ghislaine Maxwell, 13-year-old Eric Trump, attorney Eric Javits, and Matthew Calamari, the head of security for the Trump Organization:
“The most direct but not exactly most serene way to travel to Mar-a-Lago, I discovered one weekend not long ago, is aboard Trump’s 727, the same aircraft he gave up during the blip and, after an almost decent interval, bought back. My fellow-passengers included Eric Javits, a lawyer and nephew of the late Senator Jacob Javits, bumming a ride; Ghislaine Maxwell, the daughter of the late publishing tycoon and inadequate swimmer Robert Maxwell, also bumming a ride; Matthew Calamari, a telephone-booth-size bodyguard who is the head of security for the entire Trump Organization; and Eric Trump, Donald’s thirteen-year-old son.”
- Mark Singer, The New Yorker
In 1999, Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking victim, Virginia Giuffre met Ghislaine Maxwell
On Feb 12th, 2000, at a celebrity tennis tournament at Mar-a-Lago, Trump was seeing partying with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Epstein brought Prince Andrew as a guest.
Sometime in the summer of 2000, 16-year-old Virginia Roberts worked as a locker room attendant at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach when Ghislaine Maxwell offers her a job as a personal masseuse to her friend Jeffrey.
In September 2000, Trump attended the US Open Tennis Match with Bill Clinton. Before running for president as a Republican, Trump expressed considerable admiration for the Clinton family, and they have interacted socially for decades – most prominently, Hillary Clinton was in attendance when Trump eventually married Melania in 2005.
In early 2001, Virginia Roberts was photographed with Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell.
In June 2001, Donald Trump sells the entire 45th floor of Trump World Tower to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for $4.5 million.
The five apartments included 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms at the time of the sale, and had yearly common charges of $85,585 for building amenities, documents obtained by The News show. If those common charges remain the same, Trump was paid at least $5.7 million by the Saudi government since 2001.
- New York Daily News
Rebecca Ocampo and her firm Housing International help broker the deal between Trump and the Saudis. She later says the apartments are related to a “new, potentially lucrative market in the Middle East.”
Just a few months later, 19 men including 15 Saudi nationals take down the World Trade Center. Some of them are allegedly financed by individuals connected to the Saudi government, including two Saudi intelligence agents.
On October 28th, 2002, New York Magazine releases a profile on Jeffrey Epstein, in which Donald Trump says he has known Epstein for 15 years (since 1987) and that he’s a terrific guy:
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
In 2002, Jeffrey Epstein landed in Atlantic City and went inside Trump’s Casino with underage Virginia Roberts and Johanna Sjoberg, which was mentioned in Sjoberg’s Desposition.
On July 24, 2006, Jeffrey Epstein is indicted for soliciting prostitution and other services from women and underage girls. He pleads not guilty.
On January 2nd, 2007, Jared Kushner buys 666 5th Avenue building, a 41-story tower, for more money than any building has ever cost in NYC history. The Kushner building put him in severe debt, but the debt was paid off by Qatar, likely thanks to a shakedown from hard-right former Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Netanyahu is a close family friend of the Kushner family, even sleeping in Jared’s childhood bed during visits.
On March 31, 2009, Kushner’s family friend Benjamin Netanyahu becomes Prime Minister of Israel, again.
In a December 2014 Florida court filing, Virginia Giuffre (then known as Virginia Roberts), alleged in a sworn affidavit that at age 17, she had been sexually trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for their own use and for use by several others, including Prince Andrew and retired Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz.
On April 12th, 2015, Hillary Clinton announces she is running for US President. On June 16th, 2015, Donald Trump announces he is running for US President.
Trump uses the same slogan as the Ronald Reagan Administration when he was running for President.
Sometime “in early 2016,” Ghislaine Maxwell tells CBS producer Ira Rosen that Epstein has tapes of Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, but she doesn’t know where he keeps them. Rosen sits on this conversation for five years, saving it for his 2021 book Ticking Clock: Behind the Scenes at “60 Minutes.”
Invanka and Chelsea let everyone know politics won’t get in the way of the Trump and Clinton relationship.
On November 4, 2016, Jane Doe / Katie Johnson drops her lawsuit against Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein after an onslaught of violent threats and her attorney’s files and email are hacked. Johnson (pseudonym) planned to give a press conference on November 2nd but backed out in fear for her and attorney Lisa Bloom’s safety. Two days later, the case is dropped.
Johnson alleged that Trump and Epstein sexually assaulted her at multiple parties in 1994, including violently raping her and threatening her life and the lives of her family if she ever spoke out. The case included testimonies from a witness who was also at the parties, as well as a friend that Johnson confided in at the time.
On November 6th, 2016, WikiLeaks releases a final batch of 8,000 DNC emails.
Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2017 and became the President of the United States.
On August 8th, 2018, Steve Bannon makes a secret visit to Jeffrey Epstein at his Manhattan home. Bannon’s name is also in Epstein’s “little black book,” a list of contacts that a former employee stole from his home in 2005. The employee claims that the book was put together by Epstein’s personal staff and “contained the names and phone numbers of more than 100 victims, plus hundreds of social contacts.”
On August 16th, 2018, Journalist James B. Stewart interviews Jeffrey Epstein at his New York mansion. During the interview, Epstein claims that he’s been working with Elon Musk and Tesla:
Rumors have been swirling that Epstein is helping Tesla find a new chairman after the SEC opened an investigation into Musk and the company. Epstein tells Stewart that the rumors are true, but Tesla will never confirm it because he’s “radioactive.” He doesn’t say much else about Tesla except that he’s talking to Saudi Arabia about investing in the company.
On July 9, 2019, Reporter Vicky Ward releases a backstory on Jeffrey Epstein where she confesses that a former White House official told her in 2017 that, according to Alexander Acosta, Epstein works for the intelligence community.
“Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)
- Vicky Ward, The Daily Beast
On March 29, 2021, prosecutors charge Ghislaine Maxwell with sex trafficking of a minor for the first time. The charge comes with new allegations that she groomed and paid a 14-year-old girl to engage in sex acts with Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell had only been accused of assisting Epstein’s operation. The new charges suggest that prosecutors believe Maxwell is as responsible for these crimes as Epstein himself.

Final Thoughts
Most of the information of this thread came from the the investigative work of Whitney Webb and her 4 part series into the history of this network - Source.
As someone who has never dug into these connections before, it was pretty shocking to find out that Trump knew the big players before Epstein did. As a digger all I care about is the truth and politics don’t matter to me. After this research, it’s hard to ignore the fact that the 2016 US Presidential Election included Epstein’s closest acquaintances, Trump and Clinton.
Why have more people been arrested from Jan. 6th, 2021 than from the Epstein / Maxwell case, even after Trump’s 4 years as US President?
Something just doesn’t add up.
Fully agree here. Interesting to me that on the other side of the TDS folks, we have forever Trump folks, both equally delusional in their perspectives - however far apart they are: Anti Christ VS Savior and still, with all the time that has passed, this strange dichotomy has maintained. Hell of a mind-virus there.
J6 was a ruse. A play to get naive partizan-like people to protest en mass and then have them suffer for attempting it.
Trump is a mole in republican party. His first election looked organic, but it was orchestrated because of the inevitable defeat of Hilary.
He actually despises republicans, I have a quote from 90s with him saying that if he would run he would run as republican because they are that gullible and stupid. And now you see that he is a part of the old plans which connect to Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion.
Btw, a telling sign of times we are in: where do we see that much snitching in society taking place?
