NEW: An informant told the FBI in 2017 that Jeffrey Epstein had a "personal hacker," according to a document released today.
The document does not name the hacker, but says he is Italian, developed and sold zero-days (iOS and Blackberry) to governments such as the U.K. and the United States, and even Hezbollah, which paid him with “a trunk of cash.”
