e #Epstein : The connections of Jeffrey Epstein with Putin, Trump, and Kim Jong-unJeffrey Epstein, an American financier and convicted sex offender, had a wide network of contacts among influential figures. Recently released documents (letters, photos, and other materials from his archives, released by the U.S. Congress in 2025) shed light on some connections. However, no direct evidence of shared connections between Putin, Trump, and Kim Jong-un through Epstein has been found. Below is a factual overview based on available sources.Connection with Donald TrumpEpstein and Trump were acquainted from the late 1980s to the early 2000s. They often interacted in social circles (for example, at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's resort in Florida).
Published photos show them together at parties, with Ghislaine Maxwell and others.
Trump flew on Epstein's plane several times in the 1990s (according to flight logs).
In 2002, Trump referred to Epstein as a "terrific guy" in an interview, but later distanced himself, stating he severed ties after the 2008 scandal.
In Epstein's letters from 2017-2018, Trump is mentioned: Epstein bragged about knowing him, claimed that Trump "knew about the girls," and even said he could "take him down." However, Trump denies any involvement in Epstein's crimes.
No accusations against Trump related to Epstein's crimes; the documents do not contain evidence of blackmail or involvement.
Connection with Vladimir PutinNo direct meetings or client relationships between Epstein and Putin have been recorded.
In June 2018 (before the Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki), Epstein wrote a letter to former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland, offering to relay a message to Putin: that Sergey Lavrov (the Russian Foreign Minister) could talk to him (Epstein) for "understanding Trump." Epstein boasted that he had previously discussed Trump with the Russian ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin (who died in 2017).
Yagland responded that he would pass on the proposal, but whether the meeting took place is unknown.
There are speculations (from sources like investigative journalism) that Epstein may have had contacts with Russian elites or intelligence, but there is no evidence of a direct connection with Putin.
Some sources mention that Epstein allegedly claimed that Putin was his "client," but this is unverified rumor.
Connection with Kim Jong-unNo connections found. In all published documents, letters, flight logs, or Epstein's contact lists, Kim Jong-un is not mentioned.
No photos, letters, or testimonies about any contacts with North Korea or its leader.
The only indirect context is in a letter from Epstein in 2017 mentioning Trump's "unpredictability" in negotiations with "nuclear dictators" like Putin and Kim Jong-un, but this is just a comment on Trump's politics, with no connection between Epstein and Kim.
General remarksMany mentions of Epstein's "client list" are myths or conspiracy theories. Officially (according to the statements of the U.S. Department of Justice), such a list with influential persons involved in blackmail does not exist.
Epstein often exaggerated his connections to appear more influential.
Documents from 2025 (more than 20-30 thousand pages) primarily focus on Trump and his entourage, with fewer mentions of international contacts.
