Washington, DC, 04 February (H.S.): The U.S. Department of Justice unleashed a trove of three million Jeffrey Epstein documents on Friday, February 2, 2026—including thousands of videos, images, and unredacted emails—thrusting President Donald Trump, former Presidents Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Prince Andrew, and others into the spotlight amid victim outrage over initially published nude photos later excised.

The New York Times first dissected the cache, revealing contradictions to prior claims; Musk's 2012 email to Epstein inquired helicopter logistics for the wildest party on Little Saint James with ex-wife Talulah Riley, contradicting his denial of island visits—he reiterated on X, I never attended Epstein parties, demanding prosecutions for crimes committed there.

Gates faces a 2013 draft message lamenting his marriage woes, STD fears, and foundation risks from divorce, dismissed by spokespeople as absurd falsehoods crafted to entrap him.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sought Epstein coordinates for a Caribbean dinner aboard his yacht with family in December 2012, later inviting him to a Hillary Clinton fundraiser; a spokesperson clarified minimal spousal-supervised contact sans misconduct.

Virgin Group's Richard Branson jested in 2013 emails about Epstein bringing his harem—three adult women—for meetings, advising Gates testify post-conviction, and referencing Norway's ex-PM Thorbjørn Jagland's stay—Virgin disavowed had full context emerged.

New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch emailed Epstein about a woman met at his home, regretting association sans island trips or gifts; NFL vowed probe. Harvard ex-president Larry Summers traded Trump gossip with Epstein, later resigning OpenAI and Harvard roles post-initial release.

Anti-aging guru Peter Attia bantered crudely on sex poses with Epstein, regretting ties. Katie Couric thanked Epstein dinners featuring lasagna and Brooks Perlin, later lamenting PR fallout; Deepak Chopra queried Marla Maples ties, facilitating Woody Allen dinners.

Director Brett Ratner posed sofa-bound with Epstein embracing young women; mentions span Steve Bannon, Sergey Brin, Ghislaine Maxwell (20-year sentence ongoing), Eric Schmidt, Anne Wojcicki, Martha Stewart seeking numbers, and NFL's Josh Harris—mere namesakes imply no criminality, as Epstein suicided July 23, 2019.
