Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell exchanged cryptic emails about removing President Donald Trump from a list of high-powered people Maxwell sent Epstein shortly after he was criminally charged in 2006, according to emails reviewed Bloomberg that Trump denied—the latest allegation linking Trump to the convicted sex offender amid a flurry of new evidence connecting the pair.
“Remove Trump,” Epstein told Maxwell when she asked him to review the list and flag people he wanted eliminated, according to Bloomberg, which obtained hundreds of emails from Epstein’s personal Yahoo account that include several mentions of the president.
Maxwell reportedly asked Epstein to remove at least one other name, though the context of the list was unclear, according to Bloomberg, which reported that it also included former Bear Stearns chief executive Jimmy Cayne and former CEO of Barclays Jes Staley.
