The US Department of Justice on Tuesday released a new batch, containing thousands of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The latest release includes around 30,000 pages of documents, with many redactions, and dozens of video clips, including several purporting to be shot inside a federal detention center.
According to The Guardian, the newly released files also include a series of emails between Ghislaine Maxwell and someone who signs himself as “A” and uses the alias “The Invisible Man”.
In August 2001, “A” wrote to Maxwell: “I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family” before adding:
How’s LA? Have you found me some new inappropriate friends? Let me know when you are coming over as I am free from 25th August until 2nd Sept and want to go somewhere hot and sunny with some fun people before having to put my nose firmly to the grindstone for the Fall.
Maxwell replies: “So sorry to dissappoint you, however the truth must be told. I have only been able to find appropriate friends.”
“A” responds: “Distraught!” before adding that he has lost his valet and has left the “RN”.
The Guardian report said ‘A’ is widely believed to be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Another email released by the DOJ shows the conversation between Epstein and a prosecutor in which the latter indicated that President Donald Trump had travelled aboard his private jet “many more times than previously has been reported”.
In one of those emails, dated January 7, 2020, an unidentified prosecutor in New York wrote that flight records showed Trump had flown on Epstein’s private jet eight times during the 1990s, which was more than investigators then were aware of. Among those were “at least four flights” on which Ghislaine Maxwell was also aboard. Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse underage girls.
On one flight, the only three passengers were Epstein, Trump and a 20-year-old woman whose name was redacted. “On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case,” the document stated.
In another email, an unidentified person wrote in 2021 that they had recently been looking through data the government obtained from Steve Bannon’s cell phone and found an “image of Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell”.
