The pedophile told Ehud Barak he had direct knowledge that Barr was in charge in DC, according to a new book that also claims Steve Bannon gave Epstein advice on his PR strategy.

A controversial new book from the journalist Michael Wolff claims that the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein bragged that Bill Barr was the man in charge during Trumps time in office and that the president lets someone else be in charge, until other people realize that someone, other than him, is in charge. When that happens, youre no longer in charge.
The tome, Too Famous: The Rich, the Powerful, the Wishful, the Notorious and the Damned, also claims that Steve Bannon and former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak tried to help Epstein rehabilitate his image, even suggesting that he try to get favorable coverage on Rachel Maddow or 60 Minutes.
According to Wolffwho reportedly tried to buy New York Magazine with Epstein and disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey WeinsteinBarak asked Epstein the million-dollar question of who was in charge at the White House. What I want to know from you all-knowing people is: Who is in charge, who is, [Barak] said, putting on an American accent over his own often impenetrable Israeli one, calling the shots? This was a resumption of the reliable conversation around Epstein: the ludicrousness and vagaries of Donald Trumponce among Epsteins closest friends. Here is the question every government is asking. Trump is obviously not in charge because he is
Wolff claims that Epstein interrupted the former politico and called Trumphis former playboy party pala moron, then confided, At the moment, Bill Barr is in charge. The pedophile financier continued: Its Donalds pattern...he lets someone else be in charge, until other people realize that someone, other than him, is in charge. When that happens, youre no longer in charge.
Barak allegedly pressed, But let me ask you, why do you think this Barr took this job, knowing all this?
The motivation was simple: money, Epstein replied. Barr believes hell get a big payday out of this ... If he keeps Donald in office, manages to hold the Justice Department together, and help the Republican Party survive Donald, he thinks this is worth big money to him. I speak from direct knowledge. Extremely direct. Trust me.
