Chummy emails between ‘A’ and Ghislaine Maxwell are among an 8,000-strong Jeffrey Epstein files trove released today.
The 10GB stockpile of videos and photos landed on the US Department of Justice’s (DoJ) site today.
It includes hundreds of videos, audio recordings and investigative documents, shedding new light on Epstein’s personal relationships.
One document features an email sent between Ghislaine Maxwell and ‘The Invisible Man’.
In one message from 2001, a sender, writing from Balmoral, signs off as ‘A’.

They write: ‘How’s LA? Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?’
The person says they are at ‘Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family’ and that they are ‘totally exhausted’.
They continue: ‘Let me know when you are coming over as I am free from 25th August until 2nd Sept and want to go somewhere hot and sunny with some fun people before having to put my nose firmly to the grindstone for the Fall.’
The message concludes: ‘Any ideas gratefully received! See ya A xxx’.
The email was sent from the email address ‘[email protected]’.
In Epstein’s phone book, shared in an earlier release, a different email address – [email protected] – is under ‘Duke of York’.
One email, from an unnamed assistant US attorney, says President Donald Trump travelled on Epstein’s private private jet ‘many more times than previously has been reported’.
In correspondence dated January 2020, the Southern District of New York attorney writes: ‘For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a [Ghislaine] Maxwell case.’
A 1985 passport of the late financier and sex trafficker is in the collection and there appears to be communications between officials after Epstein died in his prison cell in 2019.
Saturday’s release included evidence that Epstein could have been stopped nearly 30 years ago.
A document appeared to corroborate Maria Farmer’s claim that she reported Epstein to the FBI in Miami in 1996.
Farmer, who was one of the first women to accuse Epstein of sexual misconduct, accused Epstein of stealing pictures of her sisters, then aged 14 and 16.
Farmer has been recorded as telling the FBI that she believed Epstein sold the photographs and threatened to ‘burn her house’ if she mentioned it to anyone.
The release is part of a slew of evidence being released amid an ongoing investigation into Epstein’s affairs.
Numerous famous figures have featured in Epstein estate files, including politicians, musicians and business leaders.
Bill Clinton has frequently appeared – swimming in a pool, with a blonde woman whose face is redacted, and painted wearing a dress.
Trump has also appeared in numerous photos = surrounded by women, as a Halloween ‘Trumpkin’, and even on condom packets.
He initially responded by saying the pictures were ‘no big deal’ adding that ‘everyone knew’ Epstein.
Other famous faces have included musicians Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger, former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson, actor Kevin Spacey and Virgin founder Richard Branson.
Inclusion in the files does not indicate any wrongdoing and many of those included have strongly denied any suggestions of misconduct.
A law in Congress means the so-called Epstein files must be released in their entirety by Friday.
Due to time pressures, and the sheer volume of files, the DoJ has said it will not be able to release all the information by the deadline.
Several notable figures have been pictured in the files that released prior to today.
The US justice department has not provided any context for the images, making it difficult to piece together when or where they were taken.
Being pictured in the files is not an indication of any wrongdoing. Many of those identified have denied wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
