A new batch of nearly 21,000 unredacted emails and file attachments from Jeffrey Epstein revealed Saturday that the disgraced financier was “obsessed” with President Donald Trump, having purchased “basically every major exposé” about the president, Zeteo reported.
“Epstein showed intense interest in books about the Trump administration’s scandals,” wrote Zeteo reporter Micah Lee in its report Saturday. “He purchased basically every major exposé as soon as it was published, often pre-ordering the books.”
Trump is the single-most mentioned individual in the batch of emails released earlier this month by the House Oversight Committee, with Epstein going as far as to coordinate his flights around Trump’s, Raw Story has reported. Emails have also suggested that Trump may have “spent hours” with one of Epstein’s victims at his home.
Beyond Epstein’s apparent obsession with Trump, the new emails also revealed that the disgraced financier purchased several books about child sexual abuse. These include “Lolita,” a novel about the victimization of a 12-year-old girl by Russian-American author Vladimir Nabokov, along with other books by or about Nabokov, including “Stalking” by Brian Boyd and “Insomniac Dreams: Experiments with Time.”
Other notable purchases of Epstein’s include several books on narcissism, one book on Israel – “Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations” by Ronen Bergman, and biographies of both Adolf Hitler and Woody Allen, with Allen being a known friend of Epstein.
Epstein once called Trump his “closest friend for 10 years,” with Trump confirmed to have flown on Epstein’s private jet at least seven times in the 1990s.
