US PRESIDENT Donald Trump’s long friendship with Jeffrey Epstein came to an apparent end in the mid-2000s. But Epstein remained intently focused on Trump for years afterward, seeking to exploit the remnants of their relationship up until his arrest on federal sex-trafficking charges in 2019.
In more than 20,000 pages of Epstein’s typo-strewn emails and other messages released by a congressional committee last Wednesday, Epstein insulted Trump and hinted that he had damaging information on him.
