Maxwell has maintained she was kept in the dark about details of Epstein’s initial sexual abuse case in the mid-2000s. Yet the emails demonstrate her deep knowledge of the legal jeopardy he faced and show how she helped him strategize over even the most consequential details.

“Question,” Epstein wrote to Maxwell on May 23, 2008. “Which one do you prefer, lewd and lscivious conduct , or procuring minors for prostituion.”

Trump’s name surfaced again around the time Epstein was making an intense backchannel lobbying effort to get federal prosecutors to drop their case against him. It was in an email dated Aug. 23, 2007, a month before Epstein signed the non-prosecution agreement with the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida that ended the federal component of the Epstein investigation.

The emails indicate that Maxwell may have been referring to a team of reporters covering Epstein who she expected would be seeking information from Trump; from Abe Gosman, the late healthcare magnate whose palatial property sold to Trump for $41 million after a heated bidding war with Epstein; from court documents in West Palm Beach; and from Joel Pashcow, the Palm Beach police and fire foundation board member who’d traveled on Epstein’s private jet. Pashcow did not respond to a request for comment.

And when Google co-founder Sergey Brin and his then-girlfriend Anne Wojcicki, the co-founder of genealogy database 23andMe, were in the Caribbean for New Year’s Eve in 2006, Maxwell encouraged Epstein to play host.

“be v nice to her not stupid - she is interested in mapping DNA etc …she is key :)” Maxwell wrote on Dec. 29, 2006. In an email to an assistant a few days later, Epstein wrote that he was on the island with Brin. Representatives for Brin and Wojcicki did not respond to requests for comment.

One entry detailed a $71,000 purchase at Lexus of Watertown in Massachusetts for then-Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz, who was part of the legal team involved in Epstein’s plea negotiations at the time.

Names of Epstein’s assistants, many of whom have since described themselves as victims, also appear in the spreadsheet as intended recipients. One, Nadia Marcinkova, told Epstein she would send a photo of a Swedish woman she met. “She says she can do Thai massage. She is not cute enough for anything else (19).” Epstein replied “the swede doesn’t look so fat.”

“Jeffrey Epstein was a master manipulator,” said Erica Dubno, Marcinkova’s attorney. “He physically, sexually, and emotionally abused, dehumanized, and completely controlled her for years. He coerced Nadia and referred to her as his ‘sex slave.’”

Another woman, Natalya Malyshev, sent Epstein at least 20 emails with first names and ages of women in the subject line. “My new friend…17,” she wrote in one, attaching photographs of a girl described as a Russian model. Malyshev did not respond to a request for comment.

When prosecutors offered a deal that carried two years of prison time, Epstein updated Maxwell: “did not go well …2 years.” Two weeks later, on Sept. 24, 2007, Epstein entered into a non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors that reduced his sentence to 18 months (he ended up serving 13 months). That same day, Maxwell sent an emotional email to Epstein. “I’m sad scared and depressed …I can’t shake it,” she wrote.___
