Epstein’s links to Putin and Kremlin spies raise fears he was Russian agent

Documents show Epstein cultivated Russian connections, recruited women for blackmail, and possibly served as a spy with ties to Vladimir Putin and Russian intelligence.

  • On Friday the US Justice Department released three million documents, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos, including 1,056 naming Vladimir Putin and over 9,000 referencing Moscow.
  • Epstein's emails include requests to book flights from Moscow to Paris and New York, and a 2012 message offered '2 Russian girls' aged 21 and 24 for meetings.
  • In emails he proposed paying a woman $180,000 for two years and warned her she would be dealt with 'extremely harshly' if blackmailing an American businessman, contacting FSB friends.
  • High-Profile personalities deny wrongdoing, while an unnamed intelligence source says elites like Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, and Bill Clinton were placed in compromising positions on an island 'bristling with technology.'
  • The files also describe a planned 2014 meeting with Putin that may have been cancelled after the Malaysia Airlines crash killing nearly 300, with introductions by an oil tycoon tied to Russian intelligence.
