The Jewish-American billionaire convicted of trafficking in minors for sexual purposes consulted with the former prime minister to fight the harsh allegations against him • According to the book, Barak, referred to in the book as a "frequent visitor", recommended Epstein be interviewed for the "60 Minutes" program to improve his public image


A new book about Jeffrey Epstein reveals that the convicted pedophile believed he could reach a deal and fight the harsh allegations against him, and to that end he consulted with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, according to the Daily Mail.

Barak is referred to in the book as a "frequent guest" of Epstein, who tried to applaud Epstein when he said: "The secrets are kept." 

The book claims that Barak, who has been in a long-term relationship with Epstein, downplayed his crimes, and defined them as "prostitution."

Michael Wolf, the author and journalist who wrote the book, reveals that several months before his death Epstein visited his estate on the Upper East Side of New York, where he encountered Ehud Barak. 

The book reveals that Ehud Barak suggested that Epstein be interviewed for the "60 Minutes" investigative program in order to try and improve his public image.

Among other things, an interesting dialogue was revealed between the two, when Barak asked Epstein who was in charge of the White House.

The American-Jewish billionaire claimed the Well Trail, which served as the U.S. Attorney General for two years, is the actual culprit.

In response to Epstein's response, Barak asked, "Why did Beer take this position?"

"His motivation is clear: money," Epstein replied.

"Beer thought he would get a high salary from this. If he keeps Trump in office and helps the Republican Party survive Trump, he thinks it's worth a lot of money to him. I'm talking clear, trust me."

The book also claims that Epstein and Barak, along with Epstein's lawyer Reed Weingarten, called Steve Bannon - and talked to him about a public relations strategy to restore Epstein's image, after the Miami Herald newspaper exposed allegations that Epstein abused and raped dozens of minors on his Palm property. Beach, in New York, and on his private island in the Caribbean.

Michael Wolf claims in the book that Bannon pressured Epstein, lawyer Weingarten and Ehud Barak to set up a media team that would be responsible for responding to the negative publicity about the Jewish billion.

Barak is referred to in the book by Michael Wolf as Epstein's "frequent guest."

Wolf also claimed that Barak suspected that there were hidden cameras in the mansion and used to joke about the accusations against Epstein when he said: "We have nothing to fear. The secrets are kept."

Ehud Barak's response to the publication could not be obtained.

We will publish it when it is brought before us.
