New Delhi: The controversial documents of the late sex racketeer Jeffrey Epstein continue to throw up surprises with their string of names of famous people, the latest name being that of renowned filmmaker and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s mother Mira Nair.
A fresh set of documents related to the ‘Epstein Files’ was reportedly released by the US Department of Justice on Friday and includes an email which was sent by publicist Peggy Siegal to Epstein in 2009. The email is learned to describe the publicist leaving an afterparty organized at the Manhattan townhouse owned by Ghislaine Maxwell following an event tied to Nair’s 2009 film Amelia.
In the email sent early-morning on October 21, 2009, Seigal is said to have written, “Just left Ghislaine’s townhouse after party for film,” adding that former US President Bill Clinton, founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos and Nair were present at the afterparty.
The mail has also reportedly includes comments on Nair’s new film, which is a biographical drama starring Hillary Swank as the aviator Amelia Earhart and Richard Gere as her husband, publisher George Putnam.
The US Justice Department on Friday released over three million pages of documents, including 2,000 videos and 1,80,000 images, on Epstein.
The sex trafficker, who was also a former financier, allegedly committed suicide while in a New York jail in 2019 and awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Ghislaine Maxwell was later convicted for her role in assisting Epstein’s abuse of underage girls.
