But other emails tracked Trump’s movements more generally. Epstein received a heads-up on 2 December 2017: “Trump in our neighborhood today. Looks like he is going to 740 Park for a fundraiser.” The sender’s name was redacted in the email release, but it was signed by Richard Kahn, Epstein’s accountant.
One visitor waiting outside Epstein’s home made a joke about Trump while waiting to get inside. “[I’m] at the door but i will wait for my time. . i dont want to come early to find trump in your house,” they wrote, adding two smiling emojis. Their name was redacted in the email.
The cache of filings also indicates Epstein’s associates forwarded numerous news articles related to Trump, including reports that involved controversies surrounding the president. The news coverage included a January 2019 story on Trump ally Roger Stone’s arrest, and an article on Michael Cohen’s discussions with prosecutors.
Email exchanges with friends and associates showed Epstein disparaging Trump. In one December 2018 correspondence, Epstein told former treasury secretary Larry Summers that “trump – borderline insane. dersh, a few feet further from the border but not by much” – apparently referencing his one-time attorney, Alan Dershowitz.
Summers asked: “Will trump crack into insanity?”
In another exchange in March 2018, Landon Thomas Jr, then a reporter at the New York Times, sent Epstein an article from the Daily Beast that mused on whether Trump was close to a “psychiatric breakdown”. Epstein replied: “he feels alone, and is nuts !!! , I told everyone from day one. evil beyond belief mad, and most thought i was speaking metaphorically, its obvious he could crack. stormy daniels. ? lies after lies after lies.”

Emails: Jeffrey Epstein offered to give Russia “insight” into Trump
Among the hundreds of emails released yesterday by Congressional investigators were emails in which Epstein contacted former Prime Minister of Norway, Thorbjorn Jagland, who was Secretary General of the Council of Europe in 2018.
“I think you might suggest to Putin that Lavrov can get insight on talking to me,” Epstein wrote to Jagland in June 2018, referencing longtime Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov. Epstein indicated that he had also spoken to Russia’s former UN ambassador, Vitaly Churkin, who died in 2017.
