Epstein's Emails Detail the Life and Crimes of the Financier--and Ghislaine Maxwell's Leading Role

For years, Ghislaine Maxwell has tried to distance herself from Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, an effort that continued through her own criminal conviction and in a recent interview with federal law enforcement officials.

According to her telling, she was a onetime girlfriend turned property manager at Epstein’s luxury homes around the world, yet was not privy to the inner workings of his vast influence machine or sex-trafficking operation.

But hundreds of emails from Epstein’s personal Yahoo account, which haven’t been previously reported, shed new light on Maxwell’s partnership with Epstein. They also contribute to longstanding questions about her credibility, including her truthfulness in a two-day interview she had with officials from the Department of Justice this summer. (Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence after a jury found in 2021 that she recruited and groomed women for Epstein to sexually abuse.)
