A CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT IS A SECRET SOURCE WHO, THROUGH A CONTACT OFFICER, SUPPLIES INFORMATION ON CRIMINAL ACTIVITY TO THE POLICE OR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENT. IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND OBTAIN EVIDENCE AGAINST PERSONS INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITY, THE POLICE OFTEN USE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANTS. BOTH TYPES OF INVESTIGATION REQUIRE THE SECURING OF INFORMATION THAT COMES FROM WITHIN A CRIMINAL SUBCULTURE. WITHIN THIS CRIMINAL SUBCULTURE, DEALS ARE MADE, PLANS FOR THE FUTURE AS WELL AS PAST AND PRESENT CRIMES ARE OPENLY DISCUSSED, AND A GENERAL WEALTH OF CRIMINAL INTELLIGENCE IS EXCHANGED. THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT, THEREFORE, BECOMES THE IDEAL TOOL FOR PENETRATING THEIR CRIMINAL SUBCULTURE.
In other words, a confidential informant is an individual who provides useful, credible information about alleged criminal activity to law enforcement in exchange for incentives, such as leniency in their own cases, money, or other considerations.
The thing is, The FBI never prosecuted a case against Epstein so there is no reason for them to have ever made a deal with Trump.
