The final Epstein files just dropped – naming billionaires, Hollywood elites, and powerful political figures. And among the disturbing records is one chilling message from Epstein to the film producer who gave Tom Cruise his big break: “She is a little freaked by the age but go slow.”
The U.S. Department of Justice has released its final batch of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents – a staggering 3.5 million pages that pulls back the curtain on years of previously undisclosed interactions between Epstein and dozens of public figures, including Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Melania Trump.
Brett Ratner and Epstein’s Townhouse
Hollywood director Brett Ratner appears in a series of photographs taken at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse, seated alongside Epstein, Jean-Luc Brunel, and several redacted women, who – in one image – appear to be sitting on their laps. Brunel, a former modeling agent, died in custody in 2022 while facing sex trafficking charges.
Ratner, whose credits include Rush Hour and X-Men: The Last Stand, directed the newly released Melania documentary. He previously told The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that he “didn’t know Epstein and had never met him.” However, the photos suggest at least one in-person meeting at Epstein’s home.
Elon Musk and the ‘Lolita Express’
References to Elon Musk appear frequently in the latest documents. Multiple email exchanges show Epstein attempting to coordinate travel with Musk, including a proposed holiday visit to Epstein’s private island between 2013 and 2014.
Additional messages mention meetings at SpaceX headquarters and casual social invitations.
One email from Epstein congratulates Musk on the successful launch of a Falcon 9 rocket, then pivots to asking about the medication Nuvigil.
Musk publicly denied attending any Epstein-hosted events, writing on X: “I had very little correspondence with Epstein and declined repeated invitations to go to his island or fly on his ‘Lolita Express,’ but was well aware that some email correspondence with him could be misinterpreted and used by detractors to smear my name.”
In a followup tweet, Musk wrote: “Epstein hounded me relentlessly to go to his pedo island and I always declined.”
Bill Gates and his ‘illicit trysts’
In several messages Epstein drafted in 2013, he referenced a “marital dispute” between Bill and Melinda Gates. Another letter, dated July 18, 2013, starts with the convicted sex offender writing that he helped the Microsoft founder “get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls, to facilitating his illicit trysts.”
A spokesperson for Gates told the WSJ the claims are fiction: “Absolutely absurd and completely false. The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.”
Richard Branson and the “harem”
Photos and email records link Richard Branson to Epstein via a business meeting hosted on Branson’s private island. In one 2013 message, Epstein thanked the co-founder of the Virgin group for his hospitality. Branson replied: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!”
A Virgin Group spokeswoman confirmed the meeting took place but emphasized that Branson’s interaction with Epstein “was limited to group or business settings.”
“Richard believes that Epstein’s actions were abhorrent and supports the right to justice for his many victims,” she said in the statement.
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and a palace invite
Newly released emails and photos put the former Prince Andrew back in the spotlight. In one email from 2010, the former royal invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace, telling him to “come with whomever.” Three undated photos show a woman, whose identity has been concealed, lying on the ground with Andrew hovering over.
Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide in 2025, had accused Andrew of sexual abuse. He denied wrongdoing but settled a civil lawsuit in 2022 for an undisclosed sum.
Kathryn Ruemmler and ‘Uncle Jeffrey’
Former Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler received numerous extravagant gifts from Epstein, according to the files: spa packages, an Apple Watch, luxury handbags, and $10,000 in gift cards. She also received “1 million Amex points.”
“Am totally tricked out by Uncle Jeffrey today! Jeffrey boots, handbag, and w=tch!” Ruemmler wrote in a 2019 message to Epstein, per the New York Post.
Ruemmler, a top lawyer at Goldman Sachs since leaving the White House in 2014, has since claimed her dealings with Epstein were professional.
“I regret ever knowing him,” she told the WSJ in an earlier interview. “And I have enormous sympathy for the victims of Epstein’s crimes.”
Sergey Brin and unidentified women
Google co-founder Sergey Brin is shown in a photograph taken during a tropical trip with unidentified women. One accuser told the Epstein Victims Claims Administrator that she met Brin and his wife during a 2007 visit to Epstein’s island – an outing that included Brunel, the late modeling agent.
Brin has not publicly addressed the claims, and his representatives have declined comment.
Howard Lutnick and dinner on the island
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is shown in Epstein’s communications planning a dinner at his island retreat in 2012. These emails appear to contradict Lutnick’s claim that he cut ties with Epstein after a 2005 coffee visit, when the two were neighbors and Epstein made a sexually suggestive comment about a massage table. Lutnick said he vowed to “never be in a room” with him again.
The WSJ reports that a Commerce Department rep said Lutnick had limited interactions and has never been accused of wrongdoing.
Steve Tisch and a girl ‘freaked by the age difference’
New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch, also a film producer, corresponded with Epstein in 2013, as seen in the documents shared by the WSJ.
“Report just in, you did very well, she wants to go to the play,” Epstein wrote in a message to Tisch, now 76. “She is a little freaked by the age but go slow…”
In his statement, Tisch – who, as producer, won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for 1994’s Forrest Gump – confirmed brief contact: “We exchanged emails about adult women…I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.”
Melania Trump and ‘G’
Finally, one 2002 email shows Melania Trump writing to “G” to praise a New York magazine profile on Epstein.
“Dear G! How are you? Nice story about JE in NY magazine,” the FLOTUS wrote in the message, dated Oct. 23, 2002. “You look great on the picture…Give me a call when you are back in NY. Love, Melania.”
While the recipient’s address was redacted, the article did include an image of Epstein’s ex-girlfriend and longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell – presumably to “G.”
President Donald Trump has not commented on the release.
This final release adds yet another layer of complexity to the Epstein saga, offering a rare, documented look into how deeply his reach extended — even into the inboxes and vacation calendars of the most powerful people in the world.
