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

      What were they supposed to do? Release nude pictures of abused minors to the public? Or transfer them to the team performing the investigation? Going to say people should have been more vocal about their existence, but discussing ongoing investigations is often considered wrong.
