House Releases 23,000 Epstein Records Detailing a Decade of High‑Level Contacts

A fresh review of the trove traces how Epstein positioned himself as a broker of access even after his 2008 conviction.

Overview

  • CNN’s parsing of the documents identified about 2,200 distinct email threads, with at least 740 exchanges between Epstein and prominent figures in academia, government, media, and business.
  • The correspondence spans from 2009 to the day before Epstein’s July 2019 arrest and includes text messages that were reviewed but not counted in the email totals.
  • Messages include Epstein’s blunt assessments of President Trump and his views on potential Cabinet picks as Trump’s political profile rose.
  • Named correspondents in the emails include Noam Chomsky, Larry Summers, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Prince Andrew, Michael Wolff, Kathryn Ruemmler, Landon Thomas Jr., and Deepak Chopra.
  • The files document communications rather than accuse the correspondents of crimes, and the House Oversight Committee says it is still reviewing the cache and may release more materials.
