The latest compilation of over 20,000 documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein brings forth notable names from various sectors, including politics, media, and finance, along with insights into their relationships with the convicted financier.

Recently released documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate have unveiled connections to several high-profile individuals, including Donald Trump, Larry Summers, and others. The release highlights the extensive contact book Epstein maintained and provides insight into his relationships and discussions, raising questions about their implications.

US lawmakers have released more than 20,000 pages of documents from the estate of the disgraced financier and convicted late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Some of the documents mention Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the former prince and brother of King Charles; US President Donald Trump; Trump's former advisor Steve Bannon; and a cast of other characters from the world of media, politics, and entertainment, who highlight the extent of Epstein's contact book.

Trump was a friend of Epstein's for years, but the president has said they fell out in about 2004, years before Epstein was first arrested. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.

Michael Wolff, 72, is an American journalist and columnist - as well as a prolific author of books on the wealthy and the famous. Fire and Fury, the first of several books spanning Trump's first stint as US president, came out in 2018, with descriptions of a dysfunctional White House and salacious details about the US commander-in-chief. The new batch of files related to Jeffrey Epstein shed light on a relationship that appears to indicate a correspondence between Wolff and the late convicted sex offender.

Attention has focused particularly on one of the emails, in which Wolff appears to give Epstein advice in relation to Trump, as Trump was campaigning for the White House for the first time.

In a separate email from October 2016, Wolff offers Epstein a chance to sit for an interview that could finish Trump.

The documents include correspondences between Epstein and Larry Summers, who was former Democratic President Bill Clinton's Treasury Secretary. The emails indicate the two met for dinner frequently, with Epstein often trying to connect Summers to prominent global figures.

In August 2018, Kathryn Ruemmler, a lawyer who served as White House counsel during President Obama's presidency, and Epstein discussed hush-money payments made by Trump to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

Other notable mentions include billionaire investor Peter Thiel and linguist Noam Chomsky, with varying levels of correspondence with Epstein, along with publicist Peggy Siegal.

As more details come to light about these connections, public scrutiny of Epstein's extensive network continues to grow.
