Epstein called Trump, former lawyer Dershowitz ‘borderline insane’

New details continue to emerge from the latest Epstein document dump, revealing some of the inner workings of a crazed sex predator.

The deceased Jeffrey Epstein was apparently no fan of Donald Trump, according to several emails, and even threw his own former lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, under the bus in an email conversation with former Obama and Bill Clinton official Lawrence Summers in December 2018.

“Trump – borderline insane,” wrote Epstein to Summers. “Dersh, a few feet further from the border but not by much.”

When Summers responded by asking if Trump would ever “crack into insanity?” Epstein predicted that Trump would end up doing “crazy things.”

“I hope someone close to him gets indicted, but not sure, otherwise the pressure of the unknown will force him to do crazy things.”

Dershowitz responded to the “insane” allegation made by Epstein, saying that he and his former client had fallen out by the time the email was written.

“Well, at that point, Epstein and I were enemies,” Dershowitz said on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Wednesday. “Obviously, he thought I had made him a terrible deal, that ‘sweetheart deal.’ He refused to pay me my legal fee. I threatened to sue him. I was not in a good relationship with him.”

“Well, at that point, Epstein and I were enemies. Obviously, he thought I had made him a terrible deal, that ‘sweetheart deal.’ He refused to pay me my legal fee. I threatened to sue him. I was not in a good relationship with him,” he continued.

“I’ve never seen that email, but I can easily imagine him thinking that I’m a little bit kooky. But I’ll let the public decide my mental status.”

Dershowitz helped Epstein score a “sweetheart deal” in 2008 and has become one of several players at the center of the Epstein scandal ever since.
