Among the millions of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents dumped by the Justice Department on Friday is a curious and previously unknown email timestamped “Wed 10/23/2002 7:40:52 PM,” subject line “HI!” and reading “Dear [Ghislaine], How are you? Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania”
And yes, Melania is referring to the exact story in which her then-future husband infamously is quoted as saying “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy… He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”
Want to go even deeper in the rabbit hole? Paolo Zampoli, the sleazy modeling agency hustler who recruited Melania to come to the US and was hosting the party at which she met Donald in 1998, shows up in the search results of the DOJ’s newest tranche too. And it is some WEIRD shit:



Can’t even begin to figure out how to place this all in context.
Anyway, here’s hoping the email to Ghislaine does huge numbers this weekend!
