Overview
- Rowling called claims that she invited Epstein “beyond silly,” saying neither she nor her team ever met or communicated with him.
- DOJ emails show Siegal asked producer Colin Callender to seat a “very important friend,” with Epstein later emailing that he “couldn’t get in” because he was not on the door list.
- Callender said he was never told the guest was Epstein and that the financier was not on the original 1,600-person invite list.
- A separate redacted message in the files shows someone asking Epstein to help them meet Rowling, which does not establish any direct link between the two.
- The newly posted cache spans millions of items, and outlets note many entries are unverified as social media continues to circulate incorrect claims about who invited Epstein.
