Epstein had dirt on ‘one person’ but had no ties to the CIA or Mossad and was not a child abuser, Alan Dershowitz said.

Contrary to popular opinion, the late attacker Jeffrey Epstein had strong dirt on “only one person” and strongly denied that he was connected to the Mossad or the CIA, his former lawyer Alan Dershowitz told “iPod Force One.”

Dershowitz, 87, who was part of the legal team that helped the late financier win a non-prosecution agreement with the Justice Department in a 2006 case, argued that there are a number of unsubstantiated claims made by his former client that are widely accepted as true.

“Jeffrey Epstein, obviously, I regret protecting,” Dershowitz told The Post’s Miranda Devine when asked about clients he regrets. “I wish I had never met him. He was a bad, bad person, but even so, most of his crimes are exaggerated.”

“Most of the women who claim to be victims come back again and again to get $250 for massages or they become employers of other people, or they never met Epstein and they just get away with it,” said the famous lawyer. “There are also real victims.”

One of the popular conspiracy theories about Epstein is that he was running a sex recruitment operation sponsored by some type of intelligence service, such as the CIA or Mossad.

Dershowitz poured cold water on that idea.

“I know it’s not,” he said of allegations that Epstein had ties to intelligence agencies. I asked him directly, I said, ‘If you have connections with any intelligence agencies, I can get you a better deal.’

“And he said, ‘Alan, I had no connection. What intelligence agency was I hiring or relying on me?’

Dershowitz said he “confirmed that with the Mossad” and noted that he did not believe “there is any truth to any CIA communication” either.

The idea was fueled, in part, by a 2018 Daily Beast article that cited an anonymous source as saying that former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who cut the controversial 2008 deal, said he was told to stop calling Epstein “a spy.”

Acosta later answered the question at a press conference.

But Acosta later privately told the DOJ’s Office of Professional Responsibility that he had no knowledge of “media reports that Epstein was ‘intelligent. property.’”

Dershowitz also concluded that Epstein may have killed himself in his cell because he was a “disappearance person” and downplayed his theory that he was running a massive deception scheme.

“I don’t think he was deceiving people, although I think he was interested in gathering information about people, maybe he would use it to protect himself, but I don’t think he ever talked bad about people,” said Dershowitz.

“[Epstein] he told me clearly that he had nothing against Donald Trump at all, that Donald Trump had done nothing wrong, so I am a witness to the fact that Jeffrey Epstein said he had nothing. He only had something for one person,” the famous lawyer teased.

Dershowitz would not reveal the person’s name but noted that he is “not a political person,” he is just “a well-known person.”

The former Harvard professor also argued that Epstein was not technically a child abuser.

“I have no information about any pedophiles in Epstein’s circle. A pedophile, medically speaking, is a person who is interested in prepubescent people. Prepubescent people, 10, 11, 12,” he said. “That was not his way of working. He loved 16, 17, 18-year-old kids. That’s a terrible thing.”

“…I also don’t believe there was any smuggling going on,” he added later. “What happened was you informed the youth of Palm Beach, when you came and gave [Epstein] massage, you get $250, and many of them come back again and again.”

Dershowitz faced a fallout from his past relationship with Epstein. At one point, Epstein’s alleged victim, the late Virginia Giuffre, accused him of being “involved in the sex trade, including with one of the men Epstein lent money to.”

He later retracted his claims in 2022, announcing in court papers that he “may have made a mistake in identifying Mr. Dershowitz.”

“I would like to see the whole truth come out from Epstein,” Dershowitz said. “It’s a terrible truth. What he did was bad, but not as bad as it’s portrayed.”
