A collection of previously unseen letters from prominent individuals, along with rare photographs, was unveiled by The New York Times on Tuesday, taken inside the Manhattan Upper East Side mansion of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein .
For Epstein’s 63rd birthday, letters from high-profile individuals like director Woody Allen , linguist Noam Chomsky were reportedly compiled, many reflecting on the dinner gatherings he frequently hosted at his lavish townhouse in Manhattan.
"There is no limit to your curiosity," noted Ehud Barak, the former prime minister of Israel, and his wife noted in a January 2016 message. "You are like a closed book to many of them but you know everything about everyone."
Barak and his wife described Epstein as “A COLLECTOR OF PEOPLE” with the letter concluding "May you enjoy long and healthy life and may all of us, your friends, enjoy your table for many more years to come.”
Director Woody Allen likened Epstein’s dinner gatherings to a scene from a classic horror film, writing that they reminded him of Dracula's castle "where Lugosi has three young female vampires who service the place."
The collection included seven birthday messages with letters from linguist Noam Chomsky and his wife and entrepreneur Joichi Ito, along with physicist Lawrence M. Krauss. Harvard biologist Martin Nowak also contributed, penning a science-themed poem, reported the New York Times.
Krauss said he does not recall writing the letter, but acknowledged attending "several lunches with very interesting discussions,” with others at Epstein’s mansion. Chomsky’s wife declined to comment, reported the New York Times.
Last month, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump contributed a letter and a “bawdy” drawing to a book gifted to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003, years before Epstein’s crimes became public, reported Time.
Trump has denied creating either of them and has since filed a lawsuit against the Journal’s parent companies, Dow Jones and News Corp, its owner, Rupert Murdoch, and two of the newspaper’s reporters over the publication.
Surveillance cameras were visible in Epstein’s bedroom and an adjacent room. However, in the “massage room”, where numerous underage victims have said they were sexually assaulted, the presence of paintings of nude women, shelves stocked with lubricant, and a large silver ball and chain is reported by the New York Times.
Elsewhere in the mansion, dozens of framed photographs display Epstein with longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell , who is now serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, as well as a range of influential figures.
This included Elon Musk, Mick Jagger, Fidel Castro, Bill Clinton, Pope John Paul II, Steve Bannon, among others, reports The Guardian.
The renewed focus on Epstein’s case comes amid repeated promises by the Trump administration to disclose information connected to the Epstein investigations, with the US president saying that he is willing to “release everything” that the administration has.
