This document is page 286 from a book (Epilogue), stamped by House Oversight. The author discusses attempting to interview Jeffrey Epstein, who declined, and lists questions they would have asked him regarding his plea deal, his relationship with Trump and 'Les' (likely Wexner), and his 2011 New York Post quote distinguishing between a 'sexual predator' and an 'offender.'

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_032869.jpg

An email thread from June 1, 2016, between Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias 'Story'/'jeevacation') and NY Times reporter Landon Thomas Jr. They discuss John Connolly, who was writing a book about Epstein, and allegations that a previous quote from Donald Trump in NY Magazine was manufactured. Thomas defends his reporting, suggesting Trump is lying about the quote because he is receiving scrutiny regarding his relationship with Epstein. Epstein confirms he receives calls from reporters regarding Trump 'every day'.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_032868.jpg

An email exchange from June 1, 2016, between New York Times reporter Landon Thomas Jr. and Jeffrey Epstein. Thomas informs Epstein that author John Connolly is writing a book about him and questioning the authenticity of a specific quote Donald Trump gave to New York Magazine in the past.

Epstein replies simply with 'no' to the question of whether he ever spoke to Connolly.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_032862.jpg

This document appears to be a partial email or draft from Jeffrey Epstein (identified by the 'JEE' footer and 'jeevacation@gmail.com') outlining a strategy for a legal letter to publisher Little, Brown. The text argues that a book ostensibly by James Patterson is actually written by John Connolly, who has an 'obsession' with Epstein. The author warns that the 'Trump-Clinton angle' of the election will drastically increase media scrutiny on the publication.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_032859.jpg

This document appears to be a draft of points for a lawyer's letter, likely written by or on behalf of Jeffrey Epstein (indicated by the 'JEE' property claim and 'jeevacation@gmail.com' address). The text outlines a strategy to threaten or discredit the publisher Little, Brown regarding a book about Epstein, alleging that the stated author James Patterson is merely a figurehead while the actual writer is John Connolly, who is described as having an 'obsession' with Epstein. The strategy focuses on leveraging potential negative media controversy regarding the book's authorship rather than purely legal threats.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_033590.jpg

This undated document outlines a public relations and legal strategy, likely for Jeffrey Epstein's team, to challenge an upcoming book about him. The plan is to warn the publisher, Little, Brown, of a 'negative media controversy' by revealing that the book's stated author, James Patterson, had minimal involvement and that the true author is John Connolly, a journalist with an alleged 'obsession' with Epstein. The communication is marked as confidential and the property of 'JEE', presumably Jeffrey E. Epstein.
