U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack, who serves as special envoy to Syria, maintained continuous and prolonged contact with pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. CBS News reported this following an analysis of text messages and emails published as part of the 'Epstein documents' by the Justice Department. According to the report, the relationship between the two continued even after Barrack began fundraising for Trump's 2016 election campaign and when he became a regular visitor to the White House. The report also stated that the correspondence shows Epstein viewed Barrack as a 'conduit' for passing information to Trump.
