Factcheck:

The released 2018 Epstein emails, authenticated via House Oversight Committee documents, show him offering “insight” into Trump to Russian officials via Thorbjørn Jagland, referencing deceased diplomat Vitaly Churkin. However, they do not explicitly mention or prove blackmail by Russia. Sources like Politico and ABC describe it as advisory connections, not coercion. More context may emerge.
