New Epstein docs reveal 'nauseating' details about Trump's next Fed pick: GOP analyst

The new Jeffrey Epstein files released on Friday include "nauseating" details about President Donald Trump's pick to lead the Federal Reserve, according to one GOP analyst.

Rick Wilson, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, wrote in a new Substack essay on Sunday that the January 30 Epstein files dump included details about Kevin Warsh, who Trump recently announced as his pick to replace Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in May. Wilson argued that Warsh's name appeared in the files "like a bad penny."

"It is a bit of timing so on-the-nose it would be rejected by a mediocre political thriller," Wilson wrote. "Warsh, a man whose resume reads like a checklist for the Davos-and-Hamptons set, isn’t just a “Wall Street veteran” or an Estée Lauder heir by marriage; he is now a recurring character in the Epstein ledger."

Several high-profile figures in the Trump administration and people who have known the president personally for years were implicated in the latest Epstein files release. The files include allegations that the president forced teenage girls to perform oral sex on him, emails showing Trump ally Elon Musk visited the infamous Epstein island, and details about Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's friendship with the disgraced financier, which Lutnick has denied.

Wilson argued that the release paints a "nauseating" pitcure of the people in controls of the levers of power.

"While the DOJ is quick to point out that proximity isn’t a crime, the visual is nauseating: the man who will soon hold the literal keys to the American economy was once just another name on a spreadsheet for a monster’s social calendar," he added. "It is the ultimate 'loyalty test' for the new regime: appointing a man who rubbed elbows with the abyss to oversee the Federal Reserve, proving once again that in this administration, the only disqualification is a conscience."
