Newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s Yahoo account reveal a cryptic exchange with Ghislaine Maxwell regarding a “power list” that included numerous prominent figures. In September 2006, Maxwell asked to “add or remove” people from the list, to which Epstein responded with a directive to “Remove trump.” This occurred shortly after Epstein was charged with solicitation of prostitution. The emails also highlight Maxwell’s role in managing Epstein’s social network, including potentially facilitating fertility treatments.

Leaked emails, the kind that always seem to surface when the waters get murky, have revealed that Jeffrey Epstein wanted Donald Trump’s name removed from a mysterious “power list.” This revelation, reported by The Daily Beast, has sparked a flurry of speculation, and it’s hard not to wade into the discussion.
One initial reaction is that this simply reflects the end of a friendship. But, consider this: the removal happened a mere two months after Epstein was indicted. Was it just Trump’s name? Nope, the emails detailed removing several names. This raises the question: was Epstein just trying to sever ties with anyone who might be considered a liability?
The timing certainly raises eyebrows. It was a strategic move, perhaps meant to distance himself from anyone who could potentially damage his reputation, even those considered close friends, especially with the legal scrutiny intensifying. It’s a classic case of self-preservation. If you were in the club, you didn’t get to just leave, especially not when things started to go south.
So, what was this “power list,” anyway? Was it a list of clients? Or was it a directory of associates who supplied clients?
And then there’s the question of Trump’s involvement. Given his public persona and the connections he cultivated, did he avail himself of Epstein’s “services”? It is possible that whatever involvement Trump had was limited. With the focus on politics, Trump needed to distance himself. Perhaps he had been in on things, and he had outgrown the usefulness of the relationship, seeing the power of law enforcement being used against him. Now that Trump was the one with the power, this could be why Epstein wanted Trump removed.
The idea of Epstein trying to protect his best clients is also an interesting one. Epstein might have been trying to protect those who could have caused him problems later. The whole situation really starts to smell of corruption when you look at the people who were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for their silence. It suggests an attempt to bury any evidence that could implicate them. And it’s very suggestive.
The Daily Beast article is not necessarily a trusted source and the rules around what is and is not allowed on Reddit are a bit confusing here. However, there is a clear narrative that may be developed here. It is possible that Epstein was simply cleaning house, removing anyone he could no longer trust. Perhaps the reality lies somewhere in between, with Trump using Epstein for some favors, and then, as he rose in power, Epstein becoming the liability.
