Kushner, Epstein, Mossad, Election Interference
gemini.google.com/share/1eb0…
The intersection of Jared Kushner, Jeffrey Epstein, and Israeli intelligence (Mossad) has been a subject of intense scrutiny, fueled by newly declassified documents and investigative reporting into the 2016 election and beyond.While investigations into 2016 primarily focused on Russian interference, recent disclosures have highlighted parallel efforts by other foreign actors to gain influence within the Trump campaign.
Jared Kushner: The Nexus of Foreign Contact
As a senior advisor to the 2016 campaign, Kushner was the primary point of contact for foreign governments. His role has been scrutinized for several reasons:
The “Shadow” Diplomat: Kushner frequently operated outside of traditional State Department channels, engaging directly with figures like Ehud Barak (former Israeli PM) and representatives from the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Omitted Foreign Contacts: During his initial security clearance process (SF-86), Kushner failed to disclose dozens of contacts with foreign officials, which he later characterized as administrative errors.
The Psy-Group Allegations: Reports have linked the Trump campaign to Psy-Group, an Israeli private intelligence firm staffed by former Mossad agents. The firm reportedly pitched “social media manipulation” plans to the campaign in 2016 to help defeat Hillary Clinton.Jeffrey Epstein’s Alleged Intelligence Ties
Speculation that Epstein was an intelligence asset—likely for Israel—has moved from conspiracy circles into mainstream legal and political discourse:
The Ehud Barak Connection: Recent document dumps (2025–2026) confirm Epstein’s deep ties to former Israeli PM and Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Barak reportedly visited Epstein dozens of times and stayed at his properties.
The “Spy” Allegation: An FBI memo released in late 2025 cited a source claiming Epstein was “trained as a spy” under Barak to serve as a co-opted asset for Israeli intelligence. While Israeli officials like Naftali Bennett have vehemently denied this, the frequency of Epstein’s meetings with high-level Israeli security figures remains a point of contention.
Kushner-Epstein Interaction: While there is no evidence they were close, emails from 2013 show Kushner (then publisher of the New York Observer) inviting Epstein to a high-profile gala, indicating Epstein remained in the same social and power circles as the Trump family long after his 2008 conviction.
Election Interference and “The Israeli Angle”While the Mueller Report and Senate Intelligence Committee focused on the GRU (Russian Intelligence), a “third front” involving Middle Eastern interests has emerged:
Leveraging Influence: Allegations suggest that foreign intelligence services used intermediaries—possibly including Epstein or his associates—to gauge the campaign’s policy positions on Israel, Iran, and the Middle East.
The “Compromised” Theory: Some unverified FBI reports suggest that certain figures within the 2016 campaign were viewed as “compromised” or highly susceptible to Israeli influence due to financial ties or shared political objectives (such as moving the US embassy to Jerusalem).

While the primary focus of investigations into the 2016 US election was on Russian interference, reports and investigations, including those by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, uncovered evidence of potential attempts by Israeli individuals and a private intelligence firm to influence the election. [1, 2]
Key Details of Alleged Israeli InterferencePsy-Group Proposals: An Israeli private intelligence firm called Psy-Group, staffed by former Israeli intelligence operatives, presented proposals for social media manipulation and opposition research on Hillary Clinton to the Trump campaign. These proposals included using fake online personas to target voters in swing states and gather “actionable intelligence” through “covert sources”. The Trump campaign reportedly did not act on these specific proposals.
Contacts with Roger Stone: Redacted FBI documents and reports indicate communications between Trump associate Roger Stone and individuals identified as high-ranking Israeli officials. In one message, an individual in Jerusalem told Stone, “He [Trump] is going to be defeated unless we intervene. We have critical intell [sic]. The key is in your hands!”.
Netanyahu Government Ties: The individuals involved, including a Republican consultant named George Birnbaum, had ties to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governing coalition and had worked on his past campaigns.
Jared Kushner & Michael Flynn: Michael Flynn, who became Trump’s first National Security Advisor, and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and advisor, were involved in communications regarding a UN Security Council resolution on Israeli settlements. Flynn’s efforts to get Russia to delay the vote were reportedly made at Kushner’s direction to protect Israel from international criticism.
Investigative Findings: Investigative journalist James Bamford, in his book Spyfail, asserts that Netanyahu dispatched a secret agent to the US in spring 2016 to assist Donald Trump’s campaign and offer intelligence against Clinton, which he claims was ignored by media fixated on Russia. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]While Russian interference was extensively documented in bipartisan Senate reports, the alleged Israeli efforts received less public scrutiny during the immediate aftermath of the election, though details emerged later through media reports and special counsel documents.

The Hypothesis of Israeli Interference in the US Elections 2016 thenewsandtimes.blogspot.com…
Mossad collected various US government emails for years prior to 2016 with the help of its many human assets. During 2016 campaign it released the Clintons emails via various “Leaks”, in the attempt to portray her as “unreliable” and to hurt her election chances. In the process it developed various covers, mostly Russia, with whom it had the agreement to cooperate. Jared Kushner the agent of Mossad, adapted their algorithms for the US elections. And finally, it orchestrated the October Surprise 2016: it set up Anthony Weiner and inserted Clinton’s emails into his laptop, in the attempt to portray Huma Abedin as treacherous. It coordinated closely with the “Trump-Land” FBI via James Kallstrom and Charles McGonigal, who was set up later for a fall guy, in addition to many others previously. The US Government should investigate this and the related hypotheses carefully, and the findings should be published after the proper investigations, filling out the blank spots. It will be good for both the US and Israel. These arrogant, stab in the back, Mossad shenanigans have to stop!
