Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous child sex trafficker and former friend of President Donald Trump, privately warned after Trump’s 2016 election victory that there was “not one decent cell in [Trump’s] body.”
Epstein made the remark in February 2017 in a private back-and-forth with former Treasury Secretary and Harvard President Larry Summers.
“i have met some very bad people,” Epstein wrote in the email, “none as bad as trump.”
He continued: “not one decent cell in his body.. so yes- dangerous.”

The email is one of 20,000-some pages of documents released by the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, all obtained via a subpoena of the Epstein estate.
In another email, this one sent to Epstein’s partner in crime Ghislaine Maxwell in 2011, Epstein observes that Trump is a “dog that hasn’t barked,” likely because Trump “spent hours at my house” with someone whose name is redacted as “[VICTIM].”

The financier and sex offender died by apparent suicide while awaiting trial in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019, but the circumstances of his death have caused speculation.
Trump has dismissed the public furor around Epstein’s emails as a “hoax” intended to distract from the federal government shutdown, which officially ended Thursday.
“The Democrats are trying to bring up the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax again because they’ll do anything at all to deflect on how badly they’ve done on the Shutdown, and so many other subjects,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Only a very bad, or stupid, Republican would fall into that trap.”
