US Department of Justice Releases Millions of Documents Related to Jeffrey Epstein
The US Department of Justice has released millions of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, shedding new light on his interactions with global elites and Israeli organizations. The documents, which were previously withheld, reveal details of Epstein’s funding of groups such as Friends of the Israeli Defence Forces and the Jewish National Fund, as well as his ties to members of Israel’s overseas intelligence services.
The documents also show that Epstein had extensive contact with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak aide Yoni Koren, who made regular stays at Epstein’s New York residence. Additionally, an FBI memo from 2020 reported that one of its sources believed Epstein was a co-opted Mossad agent, trained as a spy for Israel’s intelligence service.
Epstein’s email correspondence also indicates that he had contact with senior Ehud Barak aide Yoni Koren and other individuals with connections to Israeli intelligence. The documents reveal that Epstein himself suspected the Israeli Mossad agency may have played a role in the death of Robert Maxwell, a British newspaper tycoon who was linked to Israeli intelligence.
The release of these documents provides new information on Epstein’s interactions with global elites and his potential ties to Israeli organizations. However, it is unclear whether Epstein was indeed an Israeli intelligence asset or not. The US Department of Justice has released millions of documents related to Epstein in recent years, following a campaign by the agency to make them available to the public.
