Donald Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein scandal tied to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

If you’re not familiar with Steve Mnuchin, he’s Donald Trump’s Treasury Secretary. Mnuchin’s name seems to get tied directly or indirectly to half of Trump’s scandals, and of course Mnuchin is the one who is illegally blocking Trump’s tax returns from being released. The question has always been why Mnuchin is so fanatical about protecting Trump, to the point of risking going to prison once Trump is no longer on office.

Here’s an ugly new detail that may or may not mean anything. There’s a guy named Jean-Luc Brunel who has been accused of having helped Jeffrey Epstein get his hands on underage girls. It turns out Brunel once founded a company and listed one of the key contacts as – you guessed it – Steve Mnuchin. This is according to a new expose from the Daily Beast. Hmm. What are the odds of that being a coincidence?

Of course this doesn’t prove that Steve Mnuchin had anything at all to do with Jeffrey Epstein, criminally or otherwise. But wow do these scumbags in Trump’s orbit sure swim in a small circle. If you only have to draw two lines to get from Steve Mnuchin to Epstein, that’s disturbing.

We still don’t know where this is all headed, but the Jeffrey Epstein scandal isn’t going away. If anything, his death has only served to turn over more rocks. Meanwhile, it looks like New York State has found a way to work around Steve Mnuchin and get to Donald Trump’s tax returns through Trump’s accountant. So whatever reason Mnuchin might have for committing felonies in the name of protecting Trump’s financial records, it may all be for nothing anyway.
