Newly released Justice Department documents reveal a 'who's who' of powerful men, including royalty, tech billionaires, politicians, and business magnates, who maintained contact with Jeffrey Epstein, often after his sex abuse allegations were public, despite denying involvement in his crimes.
A massive release of Justice Department documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein's investigations has unveiled a roster of powerful men, from tech titans to Wall Street figures and foreign dignitaries. While all deny involvement in his sexual abuse of girls and young women, some maintained or renewed friendships with Epstein even after his alleged abuses became widely known. None have been charged with crimes related to the investigation. Notable names include Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who faced allegations from Virginia Giuffre and was stripped of royal titles; Sarah Ferguson, who sought Epstein's advice after public apologies; Elon Musk, who discussed visiting Epstein's island but claims he refused; and Richard Branson, who exchanged numerous emails and invited Epstein to his island. Former Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton also appear, with documents detailing their past associations, though both deny knowledge of wrongdoing. Other prominent figures mentioned are Steven Tisch, New York Giants co-owner, who exchanged emails about adult women; Casey Wasserman, who exchanged flirty emails with Ghislaine Maxwell; Ehud Barak, former Israeli Prime Minister, who maintained regular contact after Epstein's 2008 plea; Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary, who had meetings and exchanged emails with Epstein; Howard Lutnick, who visited Epstein's island with family; Sergey Brin, who planned meetings with Epstein and Maxwell; Steve Bannon, who exchanged hundreds of friendly texts; and Miroslav Lajcak, who resigned from his advisory role after his communications appeared. The documents highlight the extensive network Epstein cultivated among the global elite.
