Alexander Acosta, former Trump Labor Secretary:
Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case. He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.) https://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epsteins-sick-story-played-out-for-years-in-plain-sight?ref=scroll
Ari Ben-Menashe former senior executive for Israel’s Directorate of Military Intelligence:
Ari Ben-Menashe: [Epstein and Ghislaine] were blackmailing American and other political figures. Interviewer: For the Israelis? Ari Ben-Menashe: Yeah https://narativ.org/2019/09/26/blackmailing-america/
Steve Hoffenberg, Epstein's ponzi-scheme business partner:
"There is a problem, because [Alex] Acosta in 2008, the reason that Epstein didn’t get any time and got a non-prosecution agreement was because of the intelligence agencies involvement with Epstein, and the two Maxwells, in Israel. I know that for a fact from Epstein." https://medium.com/@dylanhoward/epstein-admitted-to-me-he-was-a-spy-ex-business-partner-of-sex-criminal-claims-prince-andrew-is-c1152667bb86
A friend of the Maxwells, Laura Goldman, said she believed not only that Robert Maxwell was a Mossad spy but that Ghislaine carried on his work. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7761169/Jeffrey-Epstein-book-claims-Ghislaine-Maxwell-Mossad-spies.html
