Epstein Allegedly Sent Trump Baby Food After $10,000 Bet
Jeffrey Epstein claimed he sent Donald Trump a “truck of baby food” after losing a $10,000 bet. This revelation came to light through a series of emails released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee on November 12, 2019. Epstein, who passed away in 2019 while in custody, detailed the wager in an email correspondence with new age guru Deepak Chopra.
The emails reveal that Epstein sent the baby food to Trump’s ex-wife, Marla Maples, during her pregnancy with their daughter, Tiffany Trump. In a conversation with Chopra, Epstein recounted the bet, stating, “when she told Donald she was pregnant, I lost a 10k dollar bet with him, and sent him a truck of baby food in payment.” This exchange highlights the unusual nature of Epstein’s interactions, especially given his notorious background.
Epstein’s correspondence with Chopra included a casual inquiry about Maples, which suggests a connection that extended beyond mere acquaintances. The emails also contained references to Trump’s character, with Epstein describing him as “evil beyond belief” in response to a Daily Beast article questioning Trump’s mental state.
The timeline of these events is significant. The emails were sent just months before Trump was elected as President of the United States in 2016. At that time, Trump and Maples were already divorced; they had married in 1993 and separated in 1999. Their relationship had been the subject of much public scrutiny, particularly after Maples publicly confronted Trump’s first wife, Ivana Trump, about their affair, as described in Ivana’s book, *Raising Trump*.
Both the White House and Chopra’s representatives have been approached for comments regarding the implications of these emails. Chopra expressed willingness to cooperate with investigations, stating, “I’m happy to share whatever I know with authorized officials.” In contrast, a White House spokesperson, Abigail Jackson, dismissed the emails, asserting, “These emails prove literally nothing.”
Significantly, Epstein’s emails also contained references to his activities following Trump’s election. In one instance, he mentioned being at Trump Tower shortly after the election results were announced. When asked by former Microsoft executive Linda Stone if he was still in Paris, Epstein replied, “Trump Tower.”
The content of Epstein’s emails raises questions about his connections with prominent figures, including Trump. In another message, he claimed that Trump had spent hours at his residence with one of Epstein’s victims, although the details of this claim remain vague and unverified.
As investigations into Epstein’s past continue, the implications of these communications may lead to further scrutiny of Trump’s associations during his rise to power. Trump has publicly stated that he had distanced himself from Epstein “a long time ago,” but the revelations from the emails add layers of complexity to their relationship.
The release of this information has sparked a renewed interest in Epstein’s connections with high-profile individuals, particularly given the ongoing discussions about the broader implications of his actions and the legal ramifications for those associated with him. The situation remains fluid, with potential developments expected as investigations progress.
