A new book claims that that the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein believed he could reach a deal that would avoid serious prosecution against him and even shared some of his thoughts on this matter with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

The book, according to the Dail Mail, was written by journalist Michael Wolff. Barak would reportedly meet often with Epstein to the point that he was "almost a fixture" at the offender's place in the months prior his arrest in 2019, the book says.
According to the report, Epstein would call Barak "cuddly" and Barak believed that the "secrets were safe." The deal Epstein had in mind would ostensibly be achieved "by turning against Donald Trump or Bill Clinton."
At one point, the book claims, Barak suggested that Epstein should stay out of the public eye, rather than appear on shows like "60 Minutes," as others have suggested.
