U.S. Department of Justice releases hundreds of Epstein files — but not all of them
"The fake letter was received by the jail, and flagged for the FBI at the time," read a post on X.
The DOJ said the FBI confirmed the letter was fabricated because the handwriting doesn't match Epstein's and the letter was postmarked in Virginia three days after Epstein died in a New York jail in 2019.
It also said the letter's return address doesn't list the jail and doesn't include Epstein’s inmate number, which would have been required for outgoing mail.
"This fake letter serves as a reminder that just because a document is released by the Department of Justice does not make the allegations or claims within the document factual. Nevertheless, the DOJ will continue to release all material required by law," the DOJ’s post concluded.
In another allegation made to the FBI a few days later, on Aug. 5, 2020, a person says she was introduced to Epstein by "a Canadian woman who at the time was a friend."
The person, identified lower down in the document as a jewelry designer, says the meeting took place in New York City around 2004 or 2005 and that the Canadian woman was also friendly with Ghislaine Maxwell.
The allegation says the woman, whose name in the document is redacted, was "an aspiring French Canadian model."
"She would procure young women to meet Jeffrey Epstein. Many women were underage and aspiring models from other countries. She often had a lot of money in cash that she said Jeffrey Epstein gave to her for helping him with 'various things,'" the allegation says.
"She told me 'he helped young beautiful women.' She also mentioned he often liked to get massages."
The person says they were motivated to go to the FBI after watching a Netflix documentary on Epstein.
There is mention of at least two other Canadians in this latest round of documents. In two separate FBI "intake" records — which appear to be notes about allegations against Epstein and Maxwell.
In allegations made Aug. 2, 2020, an unnamed person says they were groomed by two people including a Serbian Canadian "lingerie model actress" when they were 19 in 1996.
The person making the allegation says the two people stole their artwork in order to pay money they owed to someone else, whose name is redacted.
"In retrospect there was a clear plot taking place," the written allegation says.
"They set up an elaborate plan involving a false romance and grooming me to ultimately be approached by ghislaine maxwell and jeffrey epstein several days after all of my artwork disappeared."
Also on X, the DOJ appeared to call into question the "validity" of the letter from Epstein to Nassar that mentions Trump.
The department said it was looking into the "alleged letter" and noted the postmark on the letter is from Virginia, "not New York, where Jeffrey Epstein was jailed at the time." It also said the return address is not the jail Epstein was held in at the time.
The department also said the letter did not include Epstein's inmate number, which it says is required for "outgoing mail."
Finally, the department said, "the envelope was processed three days AFTER Epstein's death."
Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is questioning why the identities of 10 alleged Epstein co-conspirators have not come to light yet in the Justice Department's release of documents.
In a post on X, Schumer included screenshots of redacted emails the DOJ sent in 2019, during Trump's first term, that mentioned it was looking into 10 people who may have helped Epstein in his crimes.
"Who are these 10 co-conspirators? Why haven't we seen those memos? Where are the grand jury records? Where are the FBI records? What are they hiding?" Schumer wrote today.
"Tens of thousands of files released shed no light on who they are. More questions than answers."
Latest batch of Epstein documents released by U.S. Justice department
The U.S. Department of Justice has released the latest batch of documents from its investigations into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, revealing U.S. President Donald Trump travelled on Epstein's private jet at least eight times between 1993 and 1996, according to an email in the release from a U.S. Attorney. Shortly after releasing the latest trove, the Justice department stated some documents contain 'untrue and sensationalist claims' against Trump.
Hi thither, my make is german mark Gollom. I'm a senior newsman who has been followers the Epstein files release.
The Department of Justice's defence of Trump has raised the eyebrows of some observers who are questioning its political tone.
"Technically, this tweet is coming from our government. But it sounds like and reads like it's coming from Trump's lawyers," Joe Walsh, a Trump critic and former Republican congressman, said on social media. "Trump has so completely corrupted our Justice Department."
Kyle Cheney, senior legal affairs reporter for Politico, called it a "bizarre defensive post."
He added that if any claims linked to Trump did have credibility, "then pursuing them, by definition, wouldn’t be weaponization."
Following the latest release of documents, the DOJ posted Tuesday morning on X that "some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election.
The DOJ continued: "To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already."
A spokesperson for Larry Summers, who was listed as one of Epstein's executors, said the economist "had absolutely no knowledge that he was included in an early version of Epstein’s will."
According to a document prepared by the U.S. Department of Justice and sent to authorities in the U.K. In April 2020, law enforcement were pursuing disgraced Canadian fashion mogul Peter Nygard for his involvement in a possible international sex trafficking ring when they found a royal connection.
"On at least one occasion, Prince Andrew travelled to Nygard Cay in the Bahamas, a location where Nygard is believed to have trafficked minor and adult female victims," the American agent writes to a British counterpart.
"U.S. Authorities seek to question Prince Andrew regarding his visit(s) to Nygard Cay during the time period under investigation, and other information he may have about Peter Nygard and related individuals."
Nygard was convicted of sexual assault by a Canadian jury in 2023.
U.S. Authorities also sought to question Andrew in connection with the Epstein investigation. This document states that there is "evidence that Prince Andrew engaged in sexual conduct involving one of Epstein's victims."
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has never agreed to be interviewed by U.S. Law enforcement — and documents in this tranche reveal frustration with how the then-prince was publicly characterizing how supposedly co-operative he was with the Americans pursuing Epstein.
I found one of Epstein's wills (there appears to be several different versions in this document dump) dated Nov. 18, 2014, which was years after he served time in a Florida prison for procuring a child for prostitution.
Epstein named Lawrence (Larry) Summers, seen above with his wife and filmmaker Woody Allen, as his executor. Summers, a prominent economist, served as the U.S. Treasury secretary in Clinton's cabinet. Later, he was president of Harvard.
Summers stepped down from a teaching role at Harvard in November after a previous tranche of documents suggested he stayed in contact with Epstein well into 2019 — as law enforcement were again pursuing Epstein for sex trafficking.
The will also lists James E. Staley as an executor.
That's likely a reference to Jes Staley, the former CEO of Barclays, a top British bank, who resigned in 2021 following an investigation into his relationship with Epstein.
There are emails in here from Jes Staley to Epstein that reveal just how close the two men were — even after it was established Epstein procured minors for sex.
Staley is the former CEO of Barclays, a top British bank. He resigned from that position in 2021 following an investigation into his relationship with Epstein.
In a July 2010 email, after Epstein was released from prison but while he was serving time on house arrest, Staley said he had "fun" during a recent apparent visit.
"Say hi to Snow White," Staley wrote. "what character would you like next," Epstein replied. "Beauty and the Beast....."
"well one side is availble," Epstein said. "Is she free tonight?" Staley responded. "call me," the disgraced financier told the banker in response.
Later, in December 2010, Staley said it was "nice to have u free. Much to come."
"Please know that I am an friend forever. You are very special," Staley told Epstein on New Year's Eve.
Staley has already been banned from the U.K. Banking sector for playing down his relationship with Epstein.
