Email exchanges between Jeffrey Epstein and Andrew Farkas suggest a possible attempt to set up a meeting with President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr. The conversations came to light as the Justice Department released the final portion of the Epstein file on Friday.
The newly released Epstein files indicate that Jeffrey Epstein allegedly sought a meeting with Donald Trump Jr. months before his death. (AP Photo/John Elswick) (AP)Epstein wrote in these emails to real estate executive Andrew Farkas that he wanted to meet Donald Trump Jr., or “Don Jr.” He is generally known, a few months before his death.

References to “Don Jr.”In a January 27, 2019, email from Epstein’s files, it appears that Epstein asked Andrew Farkas to set up a coffee meeting on Thursday or Friday with “Don Jr.,” who likes funny people.
Another document in the files shows that Farkas replied to the email saying, “I won’t be here. Let me send you some dates.”
A subsequent email to Farkas, dated January 29, 2019, asked about the meeting, “Does Don Jr. date?” The next email appeared to be a calendar alert for a meeting scheduled for February 4, 2019, at 8 a.m.
It is not clear whether the meeting actually took place on the scheduled date and time.
Epstein was arrested on July 6, 2019 and charged with sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy. He was later found dead in his prison on August 10, 2019.
