Washington: Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious American
financier involved in the trafficking and sex crimes of underage girls, has
rejected the accusation of calling himself the devil in a video interview,
saying that he was not a high-level but a low-level sex offender.
During the same conversation, Epstein claimed that he had
provided financial assistance to eradicate polio in Pakistan and India. Instead
of asking whether this money should have been given to children for vaccination
or not, the mothers whose children received this vaccine and who will no longer
suffer from polio should be asked.
This interview has been recently included in new documents
and files released by US authorities. The nearly 2-hour-long interview was
conducted by Steve Bannon, a former adviser to former US President Donald
Trump, which was apparently recorded on an unknown date at Epstein's home in
New York.
During the interview, Steve Bannon asked Epstein if he
considered himself the devil. Epstein smiled and said, "No, but I
definitely have a good mirror." When asked again, he said, "I don't
know, why are you saying that?"
Epstein had pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor in 2008. He
tried to downplay the seriousness of his crimes. When Bannon called him a Class
3 sex offender according to the US classification, which is considered a
serious threat to public safety, Epstein objected and said, "No, I'm at
the lowest level." However, when Bannon said, "But you're a
criminal," Epstein replied, "Yes, you are a criminal."
Epstein was also asked about the sources of his wealth in
the interview. Bannon said that he made money by advising the worst people in
the world. Epstein insisted that his earnings were legal, but also acknowledged
that ethics have always been a complex issue.
It should be noted that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in a
New York prison in 2019 while awaiting trial in a case of sex trafficking of
underage girls, his death was officially ruled a suicide.
In recent days, a large number of files from the government
investigation into Epstein and him have been released, which have also
highlighted his connections with political and business figures worldwide,
including Trump, Modi and many world leaders.
