Leaked Emails Reveal Epstein Wanted Trump Deleted From Mysterious Power List
A 2006 exchange shows Jeffrey Epstein telling Ghislaine Maxwell to remove Trump from a 51-name roster.
Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein asked Ghislaine Maxwell to “remove” Donald Trump from a mysterious influencer list, according to a new set of intriguing emails released Thursday.
These emails, which include more than 18,000 messages from Epstein’s Yahoo account and were published by Bloomberg, reveal Maxwell’s close involvement in money transfers, responses to reputational damage allegations, and intimate logistical arrangements.
One of the most notable Trump-related moments is remarkably brief. On September 14, 2006, Maxwell wrote, “Please review the list and add or remove people,” attaching a list of 51 politicians, financiers, and influential figures.
The purpose of the list was not specified—Bloomberg was unable to determine it from the email itself, lacking a subject line or context to suggest what he was referring to—and Epstein’s two-word response was brief but powerful.
He simply said, “Take Trump off the list.” Trump’s removal from the list, for whatever reason, came two months after Epstein was indicted in Florida for soliciting prostitution and amid intensifying federal scrutiny.
A year later, Epstein signed a confidential non-prosecution agreement in 2007, which shielded him from federal prosecution.
Some accounts suggest Epstein and Trump had a falling out in 2004, with some attributing it to a dispute over a multimillion-dollar real estate deal. Epstein was found dead in his cell in 2019, at the age of 66, while facing child sex trafficking charges.
However, under intense pressure to explain his friendship with Epstein, Trump told reporters in late July that he had severed ties after Epstein “poached” female employees from his private Mar-a-Lago club for his human trafficking operations.
However, an exclusive DailyBeast report published in early August revealed that the billionaire remained a member of the highly exclusive club until October 2007, more than a year after his indictment for soliciting prostitution, despite widespread media coverage of his alleged sexual contact with minors.
The president has sought to downplay his friendship with a man he described as a “great guy” in 2002, as the 79-year-old president struggles to release files on the late financier and pedophile.
This latest exchange between Epstein and his accomplice and co-conspirator Maxwell, 63, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for child sex trafficking, could indicate that the Epstein-Trump friendship is well and truly over.
The emails also provide details of a well-documented social interaction from the late 1990s and early 2000s, including a widely circulated 2000 photo of Trump, his wife Melania, Epstein, and Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago, as well as coverage of several events where the current president met with Epstein and Maxwell.
This latest edition of Maxwell’s emails is unlikely to calm the storm of questions he faces regarding Epstein.
The emails also show Trump’s reappearance on August 23, 2007, as Epstein and Maxwell navigated the intense media and legal scrutiny surrounding the Epstein case in Florida.
“It must be assumed they spoke to Donald Trump,” Maxwell wrote, before examining the sources and sources of the potential reports. It is unclear who he is referring to by “they.”
This week, the White House was forced to deny claims by his ally Mike Johnson that Trump was an FBI “informant” in the Epstein case. Johnson was later forced to retract the statement.
Besides these references, Bloomberg reported that Trump appears “only three times” in all the emails.
Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch in a July interview that she “never saw Trump act inappropriately with Epstein.”
However, the emails shed light on Maxwell’s role in overseeing Epstein’s social life, including the identities of the people on the “influencer list,” regardless of its purpose.
In response to Bloomberg’s question about Trump’s name in the emails, the White House denied the information. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said, “This is nothing but a collection of fake news and a hoax that furthers the Democrats’ hoax to link President Trump to Epstein.”
However, Bloomberg claims to have examined the incoming emails using cryptographic analysis, metadata, and a review of public records and other documents.
The agency confirmed that the account was one of several used by Epstein and that deletions likely occurred, meaning the email collection is incomplete.
Nevertheless, the report offers a rare direct glimpse into how Epstein used his wealth, donations, and access to build and defend his network.
According to Bloomberg, Maxwell coordinated a “joint” fertility treatment with Epstein. In late 2005, she sent Epstein detailed instructions for a sperm sample related to his procedure: “within 90 minutes of my procedure” and “all sperm must be collected.”
In September 2007, she wrote: “Your cup and instructions are in the Oval Office… The sample must be delivered by 10 a.m. and you must complete the paperwork.”
The email strongly suggests that IVF was performed using Epstein’s sample, though it contains no confirmation of the procedure or its outcome.
The Epstein saga facing Trump continues to evolve. On Monday, House Democrats released a purported 2003 birthday letter allegedly written by Trump to Epstein, a letter Trump has attempted to dismiss as “closed case,” while the White House claims it is a “fake.”
