Fresh allegations in the latest tranche of Jeffrey Epstein-related files claim that United States President Donald Trump was “compromised by Israel”, with an FBI report citing a “credible” confidential human source alleging that Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, exercised outsized influence over both the Trump Organisation and the functioning of the presidency during Trump’s first term.
According to the FBI memo, the confidential source alleged that Kushner effectively ran key operations of Trump’s business and political apparatus, while also flagging purported links between Kushner’s family and corruption, Russian money flows and the ultra-Zionist Chabad network.
The report revisits Kushner’s family background, noting that his father was previously convicted on financial charges and later received a presidential pardon from Trump.
The source further claimed that Kushner had shifted substantial Russian investment funds and failed to adequately disclose interests linked to Russian state-connected entities. The memo cited Kushner’s stake in Cadre, a real-estate investment platform, questioning whether Russian money may have entered US property markets through intermediaries.

The FBI document also referenced past scrutiny of Trump’s real-estate dealings, including a Beverly Hills mansion purchase for about USD 41 million that was later sold for USD 95 million to a shell company with foreign links. The source described the transaction as containing “oddities and red flags”.
The files also named Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyer Alan Dershowitz, with the source alleging that he had been “co-opted by Mossad”, a claim not supported by publicly available evidence.
The US Justice Department said it has released more than three million pages of Epstein-related material following an internal review. Trump has not been charged in connection with Epstein’s crimes and has denied any knowledge of illegal activity.
