Explosive new audio reveals that Donald Trump detailed how he really felt about his White House staff to Jeffrey Epstein, and Epstein touted old photos of Trump with half-naked women taken at the site of the pedophileā€™s rampant sexual abuse of young girls.

On author Michael Wolffā€™s Thursday episode of his podcast Fire and Fury, Wolff shared a recording of a conversation with Epstein from 2017, in which the convicted sex offender and alleged human trafficker recounted Trumpā€™s true feelings about members of his administration, The Daily Beast reported.

ā€œHis people fight each other and then have outsidersā€”he sort of poisons the well outside,ā€ Epstein told Wolff. Epstein went on to paraphrase Trumpā€™s candid statements about his former strategist Steve Bannon, former chief of staff Reince Priebus, and counselor Kellyanne Conway.

ā€œHe will tell 10 people, ā€˜Bannonā€™s a scumbagā€™ and ā€˜Priebus is not doing a good jobā€™ and ā€˜Kelly has a big mouthā€™ā€”what do you think? ā€˜Jamie Dimon says that youā€™re a problem and I shouldnā€™t keep you. And I spoke to Carl Icahn. And Carl thinks I need a new spokesperson,ā€™ā€ Epstein said.

ā€œā€˜So Kelly[anne]ā€”even though I hired Kellyanneā€™s husbandā€”Kellyanne is just too much of a wildcard.ā€™ And then he tells Bannon, ā€˜You know I really want to keep you, but Kellyanne hates you,ā€™ā€ Epstein continued.

Wolff said that he had recordings of roughly ā€œ100 hours of Epstein talking about the inner workings of the Trump White House and about his long standing, deep relationship with Donald Trump

    Conspiracy theorists are wild. Here we have Jeff Epsteinā€™s best friend, who admitted he had the same ā€œOn the younger sideā€ tastes (in addition to on his own time bragging that if he found someone attractive he sexually assaults them and heā€™ll get away with it because heā€™s famous, but you arenā€™t allowed to use that confession against him because he was in a locker room when he said it), and was in charge of the prison where he died, wished the woman who trafficked for him well, explicitly says he probably wonā€™t release files on Epstein because of ā€œfalse accusationsā€, and they donā€™t bat an eye for even a second. But if it was anyone but Donald any one of those things individually would have them screaming that it must mean something.

      was in charge of the prison where he died

      Technically the president delegates that to his Attorney General, who in this case was the son of the guy who first hired a totally unqualified Epstein (21 years old, no college degree) to be around high school age kids, where he was known for ogling girls and somehow showing up to student parties where there was underage drinking.

      And some blame lays with the prosecutor back in 2008 when Epstein was first charged for sex trafficking and sexual assault, who decided to let Epstein agree to a secret plea deal for only 13 months in county jail (which is really weird for a federal prosecutor to let happen), who, oh wait, was then rewarded by becoming a cabinet official for Trump.

      It also kind of right up the dudes personality.

      Hitler had the what you could call a ā€˜close friendā€™ (I donā€™t think these monsters really have any friends) executed in the night of the long knives for simply being gay.
