Further questions have been raised after the latest file release (Picture: DOJ)
Paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s countless crimes and infamous island may have been part of an elaborate ‘honeytrap operation’ for Russia, intelligence sources have suggested.
While procuring women for his network of high-profile friends, senior officials believe that Epstein may have been working on behalf of Moscow and possibly Israel.
Sources cited the US surveillance of Epstein’s alleged ties to Russia and questions of how he funded his lifestyle, though there is no hard evidence tying Epstein’s lavish life to Russian-funded sources.
American intelligence experts told WTX News that Epstein may have been introduced to espionage while conducting business with Robert Maxwell, the late father of his partner-in-crime, Ghislaine.
Security sources have claimed that Maxwell was a Russian asset from the 1970s, who worked to launder Russian money to the West, as well as working with Mossad to extradite Soviet Jews to Israel.
There are also allegations that Epstein had ties with Russian criminals, who may have been ‘blackmailing’ him.
Alleged Ties to Russian Criminals and Putin

The anonymous source told WTX News: ‘You have Andrew, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and all the rest placed in compromising positions on an island bristling with technology.
‘It’s the world’s largest honey trap operation.’
Andrew has continued to deny any wrongdoing and denied visiting Little St. James for ‘sexual purposes’.
Bill Gates has also rejected allegations that he did anything wrong and said his meetings with Epstein were a ‘big mistake’.
Bill Clinton said that he wished he had ‘never met’ Epstein and has continued to deny wrongdoing.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. He has not commented on the recent allegations.
Emails released in troves of documents from the Department of Justice also mentioned ties with Russia.
In one email, an associate mentioned an appointment with Putin in Russia, writing: ‘Spoke with Igor. He said last time you were in Palm Beach, you told him you had an appointment with Putin on Sept 16 and that he could go ahead and book his ticket to Russia to arrive a few days before you.’
In another damning exchange, Epstein emailed someone and asked if he needed a visa to travel to Russia.
‘I have a friend of Putin’s, should I ask him?’
Alleged Ties to Mossad and Israel

In addition to intelligence sources warning that Epstein may have had ties to Robert Maxwell, the FBI appeared to warn that Epstein was also a Mossad spy.
FBI bosses wrote: ‘Epstein was close to the former prime minister of Israel, Ehud Barak and trained as a spy under him.’
The relationship between Epstein and Barak is well-documented, with the former Israeli Prime Minister having visited Epstein’s house more than 30 times between 2013 and 2017.
At one point, Epstein emailed Barak: ‘You should make clear that I don’t work for Mossad. :)’
Barak replied: ‘You or I?’
Epstein responded: ‘that I don’t :)’
Another source suggested: ‘Trump has been compromised by Israel. And Kushner is the real brains behind his organisation and his Presidency.’
The government memo from 2020, part of an FBI investigation into foreign influence in US elections, appeared to allege that a Jewish religious group called Chabad-Lubavitch was trying to ‘hijack’ Trump’s first term in office, from 2017 to 2021.
‘CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency,’ it read.
Chabad-Lubavitch is a Jewish sect based in Russia with almost 100,000 members and a messianic, ultra-Orthodox ideology.
