Overview
- Republicans on the US House Oversight Committee published about 23,000 pages from Epstein’s estate, including 2011 email correspondence.
- In one email to a journalist, Epstein wrote, “Yes she was on my plane, and yes she had her picture taken with Andrew,” indicating the notorious photo is genuine.
- A March 2011 exchange shows an account labeled “The Duke” urging Epstein to ensure strong denials to a tabloid and saying, “I can’t take any more of this my end.”
- Further emails from July 2011 depict Epstein pressing a publicist and reporters to investigate Virginia Giuffre and calling her a fraud.
- The disclosures add to the fallout that saw King Charles strip Andrew of his titles and move to end his Royal Lodge lease, as US lawmakers seek his cooperation while he continues to deny wrongdoing.
