Jeffrey Epstein Kept a Secret File on Donald Trump

Jeffrey Epstein may have been trying to save himself in the final weeks of his life by offering federal prosecutors information about one of the most powerful men in America: Donald Trump.

Newly disclosed Justice Department documents reportedly show that Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, had been weighing whether to give prosecutors information about Trump as part of a possible cooperation agreement.

The alleged notes, written while Epstein was locked up at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, appear to show a desperate defendant looking for leverage as the federal case against him closed in.

And according to the reported documents, Trump was one of the names at the center of Epstein’s attention.

Epstein, who was 66 when he died, had pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking charges before his death, which authorities ruled an apparent suicide.

But in the weeks before he was found dead in his cell, documents reportedly show that Epstein’s lawyers discussed the possibility of a formal proffer agreement with prosecutors.

A proffer agreement can allow a defendant to provide information to the government, often in hopes of helping their own legal situation.

According to the newly disclosed materials, Epstein allegedly wrote several pointed remarks about Trump, who was then serving his first term in the White House.

Among the handwritten comments attributed to Epstein were the lines: “Trump is a total con artist — smoke & mirrors” and “Never had money.”

The notes were reportedly made about a month before Epstein’s death.

The documents do not prove the claims Epstein allegedly wrote were true. But they do suggest that Epstein may have believed information about Trump could be useful to federal investigators.

Sources familiar with the documents told RadarOnline.com that Epstein appeared to be trying to show prosecutors he still had something to offer.

One insider claimed the papers show a man under crushing legal pressure who was trying to prove he had access to secrets involving major public figures.

“What emerges from these records is a man trying to convince authorities he still had leverage,” the source said. “Epstein believed information about powerful figures could improve his standing and was actively cataloging what he thought investigators might find useful.”

Another source said Epstein appeared to be positioning himself as someone with knowledge that went beyond his own criminal case.

“The notes suggest Epstein saw an opportunity to trade knowledge for cooperation,” the source said. “Whether that information had value is a separate question, but he was clearly attempting to present himself as someone with access to influential people and insider details.”

The source added: “These papers show a defendant under enormous pressure who appeared determined to demonstrate he possessed information extending far beyond his own case. The references to Trump stand out because they reveal where much of his attention was directed.”

The documents also reportedly include a mysterious note dated July 22, 2019, just four days after a judge denied Epstein’s request for bail.

According to the report, Epstein wrote “J’ACCUSE” across the top of a legal pad.

The phrase is famously linked to French writer Émile Zola’s explosive 1898 open letter criticizing the prosecution of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish French army officer who was later exonerated.

For critics who have long demanded more transparency around Epstein’s life, death and powerful connections, the phrase adds another strange detail to a case already packed with unanswered questions.

Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing connected to Epstein.

The two men moved in overlapping elite social circles during the 1990s and early 2000s, but Trump has said he cut ties with Epstein more than two decades ago. He has also said he expelled Epstein from Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

Trump has insisted he had no knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of young women and girls.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson defended Trump, saying: “Just as President Trump has said, he’s been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein.”

Still, the reported documents are likely to fuel fresh scrutiny over Epstein’s relationships with the wealthy, famous and politically connected — especially as public pressure continues to build for the full release of Epstein-related files.

The new disclosures come as Vice President JD Vance has also revived debate over Epstein’s death and the government’s handling of the case.

During an appearance on ABC’s The View, Vance said he considers himself “kind of a conspiracy theorist” when it comes to parts of the Epstein saga.

“I wanted to have full transparency,” Vance said.

But he pushed back against claims that the White House was trying to hide information, adding: “What I disagree with is the idea that the White House wasn’t committed to full transparency.”

For years, Epstein’s death has remained a flashpoint across the political spectrum, with many Americans skeptical that the public has been told the full story.

Now, the reported existence of jailhouse notes targeting Trump is adding yet another explosive twist to one of the most disturbing scandals in modern American politics.

Whether Epstein’s alleged claims had any substance remains unclear. But the documents reportedly show that in his final days, the disgraced financier was looking for leverage — and he appeared to believe Donald Trump’s name might help him get it.
