A newly disclosed set of documents tied to the long-running Jeffrey Epstein case has brought renewed attention to past social connections involving Donald Trump, Melania Trump, and Ghislaine Maxwell. The materials include previously unseen email exchanges and references that place the three figures within overlapping social circles during the early 2000s and beyond.
The records show that in 2002, Melania Trump, then dating Donald Trump, sent a friendly message to Maxwell that referenced a magazine article about Epstein. The email is brief and conversational, reflecting familiarity between the two women at that time.
“Dear G! How are you? Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great in the picture,” Melania wrote to Maxwell in 2002, referring to a New York Magazine piece on Epstein.
