Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein spent his final weeks behind bars obsessing over President Donald Trump and trying to uncover damaging information that could help him cut a deal with prosecutors, according to a new report.
But despite the disgraced financier’s apparent fixation, he failed to come up with anything of value involving Trump, the New York Times reported.
After his July 2019 arrest on federal sex trafficking charges, Epstein and his legal team explored whether he could provide information on other high-profile figures in hopes of securing leniency.
During lengthy meetings with his attorneys inside a federal lockup in Lower Manhattan, Epstein frequently filled legal pads with rambling notes about Trump, who was serving his first term in the White House.
Among the scattered entries were insults aimed at the president, including “Trump is a total con artist — smoke & mirrors” and “Never had money.”

The bizarre notes appeared to reveal frustration more than any bombshell evidence against Trump.
Epstein also complained extensively about his own conditions behind bars. In one note, he lamented the challenges faced by a wealthy “Pedophile in jail,” claiming he was being denied phone calls and visits, according to the Times.
He griped that it was “impossible to mount a defense” because of constant noise coming from the Special Housing Unit at the now-closed Metropolitan Correctional Center.
Epstein also alleged that guards would have ignored any attack against him. He claimed they told his cellmate, former New York police officer and convicted murderer Nicholas Tartaglione, that “if he beat the s–t out of me, they wouldn’t file a report.”
Epstein was found dead in his jail cell in August 2019. According to the Times, investigators discovered nooses and materials used to make them scattered around the floor.
Trump and Jeffrey Epstein moved in some of the same social circles during the 1980s and 1990s. Flight logs subpoenaed during later investigations showed the future president flew aboard Epstein’s private plane at least seven times between 1993 and 1997, though there is no evidence he ever visited Epstein’s private Caribbean island.

Their relationship soured after a dispute over a Palm Beach real estate deal in 2004. Trump later said he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago after accusing him of “poaching” young female employees at the club.
Following Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 arrest, Trump said he had not spoken to him in roughly 15 years and said he was “not a fan.”
It later emerged that Trump himself had alerted authorities about Epstein’s inappropriate conduct, further distancing himself from the convicted predator.
