From Forbes:

Jeffrey Epstein's attorneys were in discussions with prosecutors before his death about potentially trying to get him a more lenient sentence if he gave up information that could help them in other cases, The New York Times reported Tuesday — with notes suggesting Epstein wanted to pass along information about President Donald Trump.

The New York Post has even more details:

Child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein tried to dig up dirt on President Trump in a desperate bid for leniency in the days leading up to his suicide, but was unable to deliver anything of substance, according to a report.

Epstein became fixated on the president after he was arrested in 2019, as his lawyers tried to hammer out a deal with prosecutors if the disgraced financier could provide helpful information about other defendants, according to the New York Times.

During his many marathon meetings with his parade of lawyers while he was locked up in a federal jail in Lower Manhattan, Epstein often had his nose buried in a legal pad scrawling disjointed one-liners about the commander-in-chief, such as 'Trump is a total con artist — smoke & mirrors' and 'Never had money.'
