After having been introduced to Epstein, Ben-Menashe claimed that neither he nor Davies were impressed with Epstein and considered him \u201cnot very competent.\u201d He added that Ghislaine Maxwell had \u201cfallen for\u201d Epstein and that he believed that the romantic relationship between his daughter and Epstein led Robert Maxwell to work to bring the latter into the \u201cfamily business\u201d \u2014 i.e., Maxwell\u2019s dealings with Israeli intelligence. This information is very revealing, given that the narrative, until now at least, has been that Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein did not meet and begin their relationship until after Robert Maxwell\u2019s death in 1991, after which Ghislaine moved to New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben-Menashe says that well after the introduction, though again he does not specify what year, Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein began a sexual blackmail operation with the purpose of extorting U.S. political and public figures on behalf of Israeli military intelligence. He stated:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

In this case what really happened, my take on it, in the later thing, is that these guys were seen as agents. They weren\u2019t really competent to do very much. And so they found a niche for themselves \u2014 blackmailing American and other political figures.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He then confirmed, when prompted, that they were blackmailing Americans on behalf of Israeli intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n

In response to his statement, Zev Shalev replied,\u00a0\u201c<\/b>But, you know, for most people it\u2019s hard for them to think of Israel as being \u2026 blackmailing their leaders in the United States, it\u2019s a very \u2026\u201d at which point, Ben-Menashe interrupted and the following exchange took place:<\/span><\/p>\n

Ari Ben-Menashe:\u00a0<\/b>You\u2019re kidding? [laughs]\u2026. It was quite their M.O. Sleeping around is not a crime, it may be embarrassing, but it\u2019s not a crime, but sleeping with underage girls is a crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shalev:\u00a0<\/b>It was a crime in 2000 as well, but they let him off that\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben-Menashe:\u00a0<\/b>And that it is [why] always so he [Epstein] made sure these girls were underage.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, when Shalev asked Ben-Menashe about\u00a0the relationship<\/a>\u00a0between Jeffrey Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Ben-Menashe stated \u201cAfter a while, you know, what Mr. Epstein was doing was collecting intelligence on people in the United States. And so if you want to go to the U.S. if you\u2019re a high-profile politician you want to know information about people.\u201d Ben-Menashe subsequently stated that Barak was obtaining compromising information (i.e., blackmail) that Epstein had acquired on powerful people in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n
