Overview
- The Justice Department released more than three million additional pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including a 2009 email from publicist Peggy Siegal listing attendees at a post‑screening gathering at Ghislaine Maxwell’s Manhattan townhouse.
- The email names Bill Clinton, Jeff Bezos and director Mira Nair among guests and is the only reference to Nair found in the newly posted records, according to multiple fact‑checks.
- Officials and reporting note the files include raw, unverified material and that being mentioned does not imply criminal conduct.
- Viral images purporting to show a child Zohran Mamdani with Epstein and Nair were debunked as AI fabrications, with the creator acknowledging they were generated and X community notes flagging them as false.
- Clips circulating on social media show people chanting “shame” outside Gracie Mansion, though the size and specifics of the gathering have not been independently verified, and the released records contain no reference to Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
