WASHINGTON – “Dirty.” “F--king crazy.” “Borderline insane.” A Mafia don but with the “great dangerous power” of being America’s president and commander in chief.
In the years before his death in what was ruled a suicide, that's how Jeffrey Epstein described his longtime friend and former confidant Donald Trump, according to a trove of the convicted sex offender’s texts and emails just released by the House Oversight Committee.
But perhaps the most intriguing thing Epstein said about Trump in the 20,000-plus pages of emails provided by his estate was this: "I am the one able to take him down.”
New Epstein emails intensify debate in Congress as Trump pressures Republicans
House Democrats released emails Nov. 12 from Epstein saying Trump "spent hours at my house" with one of the disgraced financier's victims and that he "knew about the girls." Democrats said the emails raise questions about what Trump knew about Epstein's crimes, which included allegedly sexually abusing potentially hundreds of women and girls and trafficking them to other wealthy men.
