A professor stated that Israel's Mossad may possess compromising Epstein files on a former U.S. president.

No public evidence has confirmed Mossad's possession of Epstein-related leverage against the former president, and the professor's assertion remains a personal opinion without supporting documentation. The Epstein case has fueled speculation about intelligence agencies' involvement, given Epstein's international network.
