'Do you think you're the devil himself?' Rare new interview footage of Jeffrey Epstein emerges

Jeffrey Epstein talked about the devil and discussed whether he was a sexual predator in chilling newly surfaced footage captured before his death.

More than three million new documents have been published following investigations into the disgraced financier’s murky dealings in what has come to be known as the ‘Epstein files’, including emails referencing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

The US Department of Justice has also released a video showing Epstein seemingly participating in a sit-down interview with an unidentified interviewer, which Sky News claims could be Steve Bannon.

In the clip, the convicted sexual predator responds to questions about the sources of his money, advising the ‘worst people in the world’ and his perspectives on the devil.

At one point, he speaks of allegedly donating money to people in poverty for vaccines, suggesting the interviewer should ask about the ethics of parents accepting his offer.

“I think if you told them the devil himself said, 'I'm going to exchange some dollars for your child's life...” he trails off, before being interrupted.

“Do you think you are the devil himself?” the interviewer jumps in, to which Epstein briefly pauses.

“No, but I have a good mirror,” he smirks, before being pressed harder about the question.

He later says, “the devil scares me,” before going on to talk about seeing a movie once about a fallen archangel.

It’s unclear when or why the video was filmed, but a timer in the right-hand corner appears to indicate the footage is at least two hours long.

Elsewhere in the rare footage, Epstein goes on to deny that his money is “dirty money” because he “earned it,” before referring to himself as a “tier one” sexual predator, arguing he’s the “lowest” of the rankings.

Epstein died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges, but subsequent years of investigations have shed light on disgraceful operations involving vulnerable young girls and some of the world’s elite.

The sinister-sounding interview is one of 2,000 new videos that were released in the latest batch of Epstein files, alongside 180,000 images.

Among the latest releases were images seemingly showing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor hunched over an unidentified woman sprawled on the floor.

Andrew continues to deny all allegations related to his relationship with Epstein.

Other prominent figures have also been identified in the latest tranche of documents, including emails from Elon Musk discussing parties on the paedophile’s island.

The New York Times says that Donald Trump was mentioned in 5,300 individual files, including “salacious” unverified claims.
