Jeffrey Epstein Said Friends 'Were Concerned' Trump Had Dementia in Newly Unsealed Email
Jeffrey Epstein expressed concerns about Donald Trump‘s health in a newly released email from the Epstein files.
In an email dated December 29, 2017, the convicted sex offender wrote to Michael Wolff, a journalist who has written extensively about the 79-year-old president.
Epstein said that some mutual friends he shared with Trump were “concerned” that he might have dementia after they got together for dinner.

“some at dinner [with] donald last night , were concerned about dementia,” the email read, adding that the president was wearing “tons of makeup” and “did not recognize old friends.”
A response from Wolff was not included in the file. However, the Epstein files database contains over 5,000 files that reference the journalist.
This is not the first time that Epstein has expressed concerns about Trump‘s wellness in written communications that have been included in the Epstein files.
In November 2025, a cache of documents released by the House Oversight Committee included an exchange with a reporter, who described the president as “looking/sounding increasingly unhinged.”
Epstein seemingly agreed, writing, “no questions donalds statement is goofy.. early dementia?”
Other messages released at the time showed Epstein describing Trump as “borderline insane.”
“You see, I know how dirty Donald is,” Epstein emailed former White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler in 2018 in yet another correspondence.
The depth of Trump‘s connection to Epstein has been called into question over the years.
The president name has been referenced thousands of times in the trove of documents released from the Epstein files thus far. However, Trump has not been accused of any wrongdoing and has denied any association with Epstein‘s alleged criminal behavior.
Vice President JD Vance recently defended Trump, saying that he and Epstein were not friendly.
However, analysis conducted by The New York Times suggests that the president and Epstein were friendly before having a falling out of unknown origins.
In a statement provided to NYT by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, it was alleged that the president “kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for being a creep.”
If you missed it, a former president spoke out about the Epstein files and accused Republicans of using him as “prop” in the investigation.
