Paedophile Jeffrey Epstein describes himself as a ‘tier one’ sexual predator and is asked whether he ‘is the Devil himself’ in newly-revealed video interview
Jeffrey Epstein has described himself as a “world-class” sexual predator in a newly released video that shows the disgraced financier facing questions in a sit-down interview.
The images emerged as part of a portion of the dossier containing 180,000 photos and 2,000 videos that the US justice department released on Friday.
The interviewer, who was not seen on screen but is believed to be Donald Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon, asked Epstein, who was wearing glasses and a black shirt, if he was “the Devil himself.”
‘No, but I have a good mirror,’ the convicted pedophile replies before the interviewer retorts: ‘That’s a serious question. Do you think you are the devil himself?’
Epstein says: ‘I don’t know. Why did you say that?’
The interviewer begins to explain, ‘because you have all the qualifications’, but then Epstein cuts him off: ‘No, the devil scares me.’
Bannon, 72, served in the White House for the first seven months of Trump’s first administration.
It is unclear when and where the interview was filmed, who shot the video, or why Bannon was specifically chosen to question Epstein.

‘What are you, [a] 3rd class sexual predator?’ the interviewer asks Epstein.
‘Tier 1. I’m at the bottom,’ replies the American financier.
When asked if the money he has earned throughout his life is ‘dirty money’, Epstein replies: ‘No, it is not.’
When asked why not, Epstein says: ‘Because I deserved it.’
The interviewer says, ‘You earned this by advising the worst people in the world who do huge, bad things just to make more money.’
“Ethics is always a complicated issue,” Epstein retorts, before mentioning the money he claims to have donated to help eradicate polio in Pakistan and India.
“Instead of asking me whether these children should be paid for the vaccine, you might want to ask whether Epstein should be helping these people with money for their mothers who received the vaccine and knew their child would no longer have polio,” he adds.
“You’re a mathematician,” the interviewer replies, before pitching a hypothetical scenario in which Epstein walks into the clinic and tells people “in the most difficult situations, like poverty and disease,” that the money came from a “criminal.”
‘What percentage of people do you estimate will say, ‘I don’t care, I want money for my kids?’ he asks in the interview.
Epstein responded: “I would say everyone said, ‘I want the money for my kids.’
More than three million new documents related to the late sex offender were released by the US justice department on Friday

More than three million pages of documents related to the late sex offender were released on Friday.
The release of the documents comes six weeks after the Dec. 19 deadline for releasing all files mandated in the Epstein File Transparency Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law in November.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd Blanche said Friday that the release “marks the end of a very comprehensive document identification and review process,” adding that the U.S. justice department views its role as complete.
But Democrats continue to claim that the department withheld large amounts of documents — potentially around two and a half million — without proper justification.
Among the images released in the Epstein files are photographs showing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor kneeling on all fours over a woman lying on the ground.
The former Duke of York looks directly at the camera in one photo, while in the other he places his hand on the stomach of the unidentified woman, who remains fully clothed.
But as with most of the material released by the US justice department about Epstein, no further information was given about where or when it was taken.
