Expert flags 'deeply untoward' Trump connection buried in latest Epstein files release

The latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein files released last week revealed a "deeply untoward" connection between President Donald Trump and a wealthy investor, one expert has said.

Russ Baker, founder and editor-in-chief of WhoWhatWhy, wrote in a new Substack essay on Sunday that Trump appears to be currying favors for Leon Black, the disgraced co-founder of Apollo Global Management, who resigned from the firm in 2021 when his ties to Epstein, a convicted sex criminal, were receiving increased scrutiny.
