A new set of allegations has emerged from the latest tranche of documents linked to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, centring on an FBI report that cites what it describes as a “credible” confidential human source. According to the report, the source claimed that United States President Donald Trump had been “compromised by Israel,” raising serious questions about external influence during his presidency.
The FBI document further alleged that Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, exercised extraordinary control over both the Trump Organization and the day-to-day functioning of the presidency during Trump’s first term in office. The source suggested that Kushner’s influence extended well beyond his formal role, effectively positioning him as a central figure in major decision-making processes.
The report also made sweeping claims about Kushner’s family background, alleging links to corruption, the movement of Russian funds, and connections with the ultra-Zionist Chabad network. It revisited Kushner’s family history, noting that his father had previously been convicted on financial charges and was later granted a presidential pardon by Trump, a fact the source implied added to concerns about conflicts of interest and undue influence.
According to the confidential source, Kushner was involved in moving substantial amounts of Russian investment money and failed to fully disclose financial interests tied to entities linked to the Russian state. The FBI memo specifically mentioned Kushner’s stake in Cadre, a real estate investment platform, with the source questioning whether Russian capital may have been channelled into American real estate projects through intermediaries in ways that avoided scrutiny.
The report also referred to earlier reporting on Trump’s own real estate dealings, including a controversial transaction involving a luxury mansion in Beverly Hills. In that deal, Trump reportedly purchased the property for approximately USD 41 million and later sold it for around USD 95 million to a shell company with foreign connections. The source characterised the transaction as containing “oddities and red flags,” suggesting it fit into a broader pattern of opaque and questionable financial arrangements.
In addition, the FBI report named Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer, Alan Dershowitz. The confidential source claimed that Dershowitz had been “co-opted by Mossad” and had allegedly used his influence within elite academic and social institutions to identify and cultivate wealthy or politically connected individuals for Israeli intelligence-related objectives.
The document further stated that Epstein himself was widely suspected by the source of being similarly leveraged, given his extensive access to powerful political figures and global financial networks. The source suggested that Epstein’s connections and activities raised longstanding concerns about intelligence exploitation and blackmail.
Meanwhile, the US Justice Department has said it has released more than three million pages of material related to the Epstein investigation, along with over 2,000 videos and nearly 180,000 images. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the disclosures followed an extensive internal review process aimed at increasing transparency around the case.
Trump, who was known to socialise with Epstein during the 1990s and early 2000s before distancing himself, has never been formally charged in connection with Epstein’s criminal activities. He has repeatedly stated that he had no knowledge of Epstein’s illegal conduct. Epstein, a New York-based financier, died in a federal jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. His death was officially ruled a suicide, though it fuelled years of speculation and conspiracy theories, some of which Trump himself referenced during his 2024 presidential campaign.
