First Friends: How “Italy’s Donald Trump” Introduced Naomi Campbell to Jeffrey Epstein

Who Pulls the Strings?
“This article exploring the ties between Briatore, Campbell, Trump and Epstein does not intend to imply that the Briatore-Trump relationship alone has influenced the current administration’s failure to release the bulk of the so-called Epstein files. Instead, the connections between these individuals reveals that, as Campbell herself once noted, they all swam in the same corrupt circles, and that they share significant ties to people and entities linked to organized crime, corruption across various industries, and sex trafficking. The intricacy of these “circles” will only become more apparent in subsequent entries in this series.
Epstein himself was the management, not the owner, of the criminal enterprises that have now made him infamous. The tight-knit network of oligarchs that enabled Epstein are transnational as their influence spans several countries. They work to manipulate global affairs and global finance while staying out of the limelight themselves, with more public-facing “financiers,” moguls and politicians serving as their middle-men. These oligarchs are the truly unaccountable ones, and their recurring presence in the circles around Epstein, Trump, and some of their long-time, mutual associates appear to be the real reason for the mismanagement of the Epstein files’ release.
However, at least one figure in the Trump administration, aside from Trump himself, may stand to benefit from the administration’s failure to release the lion share of the Epstein-related documents in the government’s hands. As will be detailed in the second article in this series, a close friend of both Donald Trump and Flavio Briatore currently plays an outsized-yet-quiet role in Trump administration foreign policy in addition to having unsettling, yet largely unknown, ties to the Epstein scandal.”
