Thousands of new Jeffrey Epstein files have been released in the biggest data drop to date.
An 8,000-strong trove of videos and photos landed on the US Department of Justice’s (DoJ) site today.
The 10GB stockpile, which includes hundreds of videos, audio recordings and investigative documents, sheds new light on the financier’s secretive personal relationships.
One document features an email mentioning an ‘Andrew’, sent between Ghislaine Maxwell and ‘The Invisible Man’ with the email address ‘[email protected]’.
In one message, a sender who signs off as ‘A’ writes in 2001: ‘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’.
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 put out by the DoJ.
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.
