“And I thought I had tsuris,” Epstein replied, using the Yiddish term for problems, leading to a quip from his brother that “You and your boy Donnie can make a remake of the movie Get Hard.”

I’d rather be in Donni Dee’s shoes.
In response to queries from various outlets, Mark Epstein denied that the email in question referred to Clinton, though he declined to otherwise identify “Bubba”.
Trump had pointed the finger at Clinton before the release of the documents – which he described as “the Epstein Hoax” – writing: “Ask Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, and Larry Summers about Epstein, they all know about him, don’t waste your time with Trump. I have a country to run!”
In some of the emails, Epstein claimed that Trump “knew about the girls”, offered to show a reporter photos “of Donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen”, and said that the US President does not have “one decent cell in his body”.
Trump has long been dogged by claims that Putin could hold compromising information on him. In 2017, a dossier from Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer, claimed that Russian spies had compiled compromising material – kompromat – on Trump from visits to Moscow that would be “[sufficient] to be able to blackmail him”.
It said that Moscow had been “cultivating, supporting and assisting Trump for at least five years” to “encourage splits and divisions in the Western alliance”.
In 2021, The Guardian reported that leaked Kremlin documents appeared to show the Russian President directing spy agencies to find ways to support “unstable” Trump in the 2016 US presidential election, expressing the view that his success would be a strategic victory for Moscow.
The documents reportedly confirmed the existence of Kremlin-held kompromat from Trump’s previous “non-official visits to Russian Federation territory”, referring to “certain events” which took place during the trips.
The emails released this week also contained a record of Epstein telling Thorbjorn Jagland, a former prime minister of Norway who was then leading the Council of Europe, that Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, should speak to him for “insight” into Trump.
“I think you might suggest to Putin that Lavrov can get insight on talking to me,” Epstein wrote.
