Jeffrey Epstein privately branded Donald Trump 'dangerous', 'borderline insane' and a man with 'not one decent cell in his body', according to a trove of emails that has reignited debate over the disgraced financier's mindset and motives in the years before his 2019 death in a Manhattan jail cell.
The correspondence, released by the House Oversight Committee and reviewed extensively by US media, paints a picture of a calculating Epstein who appears privately fixated on Trump's rise to power while publicly maintaining an air of distance. Congressional Republicans have circulated a rival memo accusing Democrats of weaponising the documents to manufacture an 'anti-Trump narrative', turning the material into a fresh flashpoint over what Epstein knew, whom he targeted and why.
