Jeffrey Epstein 'repeatedly' contacted the Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and British intelligence services volunteering to work for them, a former CIA officer has claimed, raising fresh questions about the convicted sex offender's connections to the world of espionage.
John Kiriakou, a former CIA counterterrorism officer who spent 14 years at the agency before becoming a whistleblower, made the allegations in a widely shared interview with former mob boss Michael Franzese on 25 March. Citing the latest Epstein documents released by the US Department of Justice in January 2026, Kiriakou said Epstein had approached the CIA and FBI offering his services, and had done the same with Britain's MI5 and MI6.
