Epstein, wearing glasses and a black shirt, is seen being challenged about the source of his wealth.
Asked if his money was “dirty money”, Epstein replies: “No, it’s not.”
Pressed on why not, he says: “Because I earned it.”
When it is put to him that his wealth was made by “advising the worst people in the world that do enormous bad things”, Epstein responds that “ethics is always a complicated subject”.
He then claims he donated money to help try to eradicate polio in Pakistan and India.
The questioning turns darker when the interviewer asks: “What are you, [a] class 3 sexual predator?”
“Tier 1. I’m the lowest,” Epstein replies.
Asked whether the recipients of his donations knew where the money came from, Epstein says: “I think if you told them the devil himself said ‘I’m going to exchange some dollars for your child’s life’…”

The interviewer fires back: “Do you think you’re the devil himself?”
“No, but I do have a good mirror,” Epstein replies.
When the question is repeated – “Do you think you’re the devil himself?” – Epstein says: “I don’t know. Why would you say that?”
As the interviewer begins: “Because you have all the attributes -”, Epstein cuts in: “No, the devil scares me.”
The interviewer does not appear on screen, but is believed to be Steve Bannon, Donald Trump’s former chief strategist, Sky News reports.
He served in the White House for the first seven months of Trump’s first presidential term.
It is unclear when or where the interview was filmed, who recorded it, or why Bannon in particular was speaking to Epstein.
The footage comes after shock emails revealed Sarah Ferguson told Epstein “just marry me” and pledged “I am at your service” just months after the paedophile was released from jail.
The shock 2010 email was one of millions of documents related to the disgraced financier released by US authorities on Friday.
In the message, the former Duchess of York wrote: “You are a legend. I really don’t have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness.
“Xx I am at your service. Just marry me.”
It is currently unclear what the exact context of the message is.
Fergie was also revealed to have made a crude comment about her daughter Eugenie in an email exchange with Epstein.
Replying to a question about a possible New York trip, she wrote: “Not sure yet. Just waiting for Eugenie to come back from a sh*****g weekend.”

The March 2010 email was sent around the time Eugenie marked her 20th birthday with then boyfriend Jack Brooksbank.
It also emerged Saturday that their father Andrew sent pictures of Eugenie and her sister Beatrice to Epstein over Christmas in both 2011 and 2012 – up to two years after Andrew claimed he had cut off contact with the paedophile billionaire.
The images showed the princesses on charity bike rides and climbing a mountain.
The revelations add to mounting pressure on Andrew, who has denied all allegations, after Sir Keir Starmer urged him to testify amid fresh images and a second victim’s testimony.
The newly released files also delve into Epstein’s alleged international links, including reported connections to Russian figures and claims involving Vladimir Putin.
Unnamed sources discuss meetings between Epstein and the Russian president, and messages reference possible appointments, Russian visas and claims of insight into Donald Trump ahead of the 2018 Helsinki summit.
US security officials reportedly monitored Epstein’s Russia links for years, while UK counterparts were said to be more hesitant due to his royal connections.
All high-profile figures named in the files deny wrongdoing.
