The UK Daily Mail reports that Epstein's "sex empire" is a "KGB trap"—the pedophile had contacts with Putin, and Russian girls were airlifted to the United States to serve the purpose of collecting black material on global celebrities. The newspaper's sources believe that under the instruction of the KGB, Epstein led the "world's largest extortion operation" (honeytrap). An email from September 11, 2011, shows that someone proposed that Epstein meet with Putin during his visit to Russia. Other emails indicate that Epstein had expressed willingness to provide the Kremlin with sensitive information about "Trump" before the Helsinki summit. Epstein's files include 1,056 documents mentioning Putin and 9,629 documents mentioning Moscow.
