Fresh revelations in the globally high-profile Jeffrey Epstein case have drawn renewed attention after newly released documents cited a purported FBI source alleging that former US President Donald Trump was compromised by Israel, with claims that the country tightened its influence over the American leader.
According to the FBI report, Trump was allegedly acting in line with Israeli interests, with his son-in-law Jared Kushner said to have played a key behind-the-scenes role. An FBI informant claimed Kushner wielded influence beyond acceptable limits within both the Trump Organization and the White House. The documents further allege that Kushner’s family received illicit funds from Russia and maintained links with the ultra-Orthodox Chabad network, while investments routed through Kushner’s real estate platform Cadre from Russian government-linked entities were reportedly not fully disclosed and diverted to other projects.
The report also referenced Kushner’s father’s past imprisonment for financial crimes and Trump’s subsequent presidential pardon. It flagged as suspicious Trump’s purchase of a Beverly Hills mansion for $41 million and its later resale for $95 million to a shell company with foreign connections, warning of possible foreign fund routing in the transaction.
Additionally, the documents claim that Epstein’s lawyer Alan Dershowitz was brought under the influence of Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad and allegedly used his reach to recruit wealthy and politically powerful students from elite universities. Beyond Dershowitz, the report asserted that Jeffrey Epstein himself was used as a pawn to influence global political and financial networks.
