Newly released Department of Justice files reveal that in 2016, Jeffrey Epstein was offered the opportunity to invest in a property complex near the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The deal, priced at $116 million, would have made Epstein a co-owner and landlord to the US government. While there is no evidence the transaction occurred, the proposal raises security concerns given Epstein's criminal history. The released files also highlight Epstein's ties to Israel, including a memo alleging he was a Mossad agent and his close relationship with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. The documents further detail Epstein's financial support for various Israeli organizations.
