Jeffrey Epstein’s Texts Claim Inside Knowledge of Trump’s Views
Newly uncovered text messages reveal Jeffrey Epstein asserting intimate knowledge of former President Donald Trump’s views during a 2017 exchange with Boris Nikolic, a top adviser to Bill Gates. The conversation, reported by The Wall Street Journal, adds to the scrutiny of Epstein’s ties to powerful figures before his 2019 arrest.
Key Details from the Epstein-Nikolic Texts
The messages, obtained through legal filings, show Epstein positioning himself as an intermediary who could interpret Trump’s stance on vaccines and global health policies. Key takeaways include:
- Epstein claimed he could provide insights into Trump’s thinking.
- The context involved scientific initiatives, though Epstein’s actual influence remains unverified.
- Boris Nikolic, a Harvard-trained scientist, was named in Epstein’s will but later rejected the role.
Epstein’s Controversial Ties to Trump and Gates
Epstein’s associations with Trump and Gates have long fueled speculation:
- Trump Connection: Trump previously called Epstein a “terrific guy” but distanced himself after Epstein’s sex crimes came to light. Flight logs confirm Trump traveled on Epstein’s plane once.
- Gates Link: Bill Gates met Epstein multiple times but denies a business relationship. Nikolic, his adviser, minimized his interactions with Epstein.
Why These Messages Are Significant
- Epstein’s Influence Tactics: The texts reinforce his pattern of exaggerating connections to elite figures.
- Access to Power: They suggest Epstein retained sway in elite circles long after his 2008 conviction.
- Unanswered Questions: No evidence confirms Epstein swayed policy, but the exchanges revive debates about his role among billionaires and politicians.
Responses from Trump and Gates
Representatives for both men dismissed Epstein’s claims:
– A Trump spokesperson stated Epstein had “no special insight” into Trump’s views.
– Gates’ team reiterated he severed ties with Epstein once his crimes were known.
Broader Implications
The messages underscore Epstein’s ability to infiltrate high-profile networks, leaving lingering questions about the extent of his influence. As investigations continue, these texts serve as another piece in the unresolved Epstein puzzle.
