In May 2013, Epstein wrote to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak that he rejected Putin's proposal to meet in Saint Petersburg. “If he wants to meet, he will have to devote time and ensure privacy, we will see what comes of it,” the letter said.
Epstein Files. “Putin was invited to dinner”
In July 2014, Epstein received a letter whose subject was Putin. “Hi, Jeffrey. I wasn't convinced [biznesmena] Read [Hoffmana] to change the schedule to go and meet Putin with you,” wrote the sender, Joe Ito.
Epstein repeatedly discussed the possibility of meetings with Putin in letters, probably to the then-secretary general of the Council of Europe, the former prime minister of Norway. In May 2013, Epstein wrote to Jagland that Bill Gates would stay in Paris. “Putin was invited to dinner,” the letter reads. In June, Epstein wrote to Jagland that he was returning to the US without receiving a reply, to which the Secretary General of the Council of Europe reported a telephone conversation regarding his meeting with Putin and added: “I asked about you and was told this would happen.” In 2013, there was no information about Putin's visits to France.
In another letter to Jagland from January 2014, Epstein asked for “it to be explained to Putin that there should be a more advanced Russian version of bitcoin.” In late July 2015, Epstein wrote to Jagland that he “still would like to meet Putin and talk about the economy.” In October 2017, Epstein asked Jagland to discuss the issue of digital currencies with Putin. In June 2018, the financier again wrote to the Norwegian politician that he “would very much like to meet Putin.”
Epstein wanted to meet with Lavrov
In June 2018, Epstein wrote to Jagland that he was ready to meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and specified that he had previously met with Russia's representative to the UN, Vitaly Churkin.
Gates' former adviser, Boris Nikolic, in November 2012 called on Epstein to urgently go to Russia and meet Ponomaryov. The State Duma deputy was called in the letter “the main organizer of the uprising against Putin.” “The stakes are huge. He can replace Putin,” we read in the letter.
The November 27, 2017 FBI report mentions a meeting between agents and a confidential source who reported that “Epstein was the administrator of President Vladimir Putin's estate and provided similar services to Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe.” At the same time, many of the documents mentioning Putin are reprints or headlines of articles that were sent to or by Epstein.
In March 2017, Epstein received a letter recommending the former commissioner of the “Nasi” movement, Maria Drokova, as “an outstanding woman, very successful for her young age.” In turn, in July 2017, Drokova suggested Epstein make a film about him, create an award named after him in the field of science or launch an anti-harassment fund.
