A declassified FBI document released as part of the so-called Epstein files says that US President Donald Trump was compromised by Israel, according to information from a confidential intelligence source.

Trump was vulnerable to Israeli influence through financial and political leverage, the source said.

The Justice Department on Tuesday released more than three million pages of files linked to its long-running investigation into convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, revealing sweeping charges involving powerful political and business figures, including Trump.

Among the disclosed material is a declassified FBI report citing a confidential human source that says Epstein operated as an intelligence asset and was used to exert influence over US political and financial elites.

The report states that Trump was considered susceptible to foreign leverage, particularly from Israel, and describes Epstein as having links to Israel`s intelligence agency, Mossad. It says that foreign powers - including Israel, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates - sought influence over US officials through financial ties, political access and compromising material.

The FBI pointed out that much of the material is based on unverified intelligence reporting.

The memo also identifies Jared Kushner, Trump`s son-in-law, as a central power broker within both the Trump Organization and the presidency, citing ties to Israeli intelligence-adjacent networks, opaque foreign money flows, and politically connected organizations.

It further references the presidential pardon granted to Kushner`s father as part of what the report characterizes as a broader web of influence.

One section flags Trump`s real-estate dealings, including a Beverly Hills property purchased for about $41 million and later sold for $95 million to a shell company with foreign connections.

The document suggests the transaction may have involved the routing of overseas funds into US projects, though it offers no conclusive evidence.

The report also claims that Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz was "co-opted" to cultivate elite political networks, and that Epstein served as a conduit to senior figures across politics, finance and academia.

Other high-profile names referenced in the files include Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton and Britain`s Prince Andrew.

The White House rejected the allegations. In a statement cited by CNN, the Justice Department described reports involving Trump as "unfounded and false," claiming many references stem from unverified tips.

The release marks the largest disclosure to date in the Epstein case - a scandal the Trump administration has repeatedly struggled to put behind it due to the president`s past association with the disgraced financier.

For years, Epstein-related investigations have fueled speculation, conspiracy theories, and accusations of government cover-ups, with critics demanding a full public accounting.

Among the documents is an FBI list compiled in August 2025 detailing sexual assault allegations connected to Trump, included within the millions of files made public by the Justice Department.
