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.

Washington DC: fresh set of documents released as part of the Jeffrey Epstein files has triggered renewed attention after screenshots of alleged self-emails attributed to Epstein made claims involving Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.

The screenshots, circulating online and reported by several outlets, purport to show Epstein writing to himself in July 2013, alleging that Gates had contracted a sexually transmitted disease during encounters with women described as “Russian girls” and had asked Epstein to arrange antibiotics to be given discreetly to his then wife, Melinda Gates. The documents also contain claims of personal disputes and alleged requests that Epstein delete certain emails.

The authenticity of the screenshots has not been independently verified. The allegations contained in them remain unsubstantiated and are disputed by context and prior public statements from Gates. There is no confirmation from official records that the claims are factual.

According to reports, the screenshots are part of a larger tranche of documents released by the United States Department of Justice, comprising hundreds of thousands of pages related to Epstein. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in a New York jail in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

The alleged email text includes Epstein expressing anger over Gates distancing himself from their relationship and claiming involvement in matters he described as morally or ethically inappropriate. The documents also reference marital tensions between Bill and Melinda Gates, though no independent evidence is provided to support the claims.

Bill Gates has previously acknowledged meeting Epstein and has said he regretted the association, while repeatedly denying any involvement in illegal or unethical activities. His philanthropic foundation has issued a strong denial in response to the latest claims, calling the allegations absurd and completely false.

Bill and Melinda Gates were married from 1994 until their divorce in 2021. Melinda Gates has publicly stated that Gates’s extramarital relationships and his association with Epstein were among the factors that led to the end of their marriage, without detailing specific allegations.

As with earlier Epstein-related disclosures, legal experts and media analysts have urged caution, noting that the presence of a name in released documents does not establish wrongdoing and that many claims in the material remain unproven.
