Overview
- The Justice Department published a large batch of Epstein records under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, adding more than three million pages of material.
- Documents show Brian Vickers in direct correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein, including a March 2012 email forwarding a sexually explicit message titled “Male Fairy Tail.”
- On Feb. 14, 2019, Vickers emailed Epstein with the subject line “Thought you would like this,” sending a “Happy Valentines Buddy” note with a winky‑face emoji and a video attachment.
- Emails indicate Epstein spoke with Michael Waltrip and Rob Kauffman about concerns that potential sponsor Aaron’s might back away, though Aaron’s went on to sponsor Vickers in 2014.
- Requests for comment to representatives for Vickers and NASCAR went unanswered, and coverage notes Vickers’ ex‑wife Sarah Kellen’s prior designation as an unindicted co‑conspirator and later description by a federal judge as criminally responsible.
