JEFFREY EPSTEIN'S BLACK BOOKS

"Epstein's black book" consists of two leaked address books by Jeffrey Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. These contact lists contained the names, contact information, and professions of hundreds of people in Epstein's orbit, spanning prominent figures from sectors like finance, politics, entertainment, and even household staff. The first book was partially published by Gawker in 2015, while a second, earlier book was released by Business Insider in 2021, and the inclusion of a name does not confirm involvement in his crimes. Furthermore, an address book was permitted as evidence during Ghislaine Maxwell's 2021 sex-trafficking trial, highlighting the documents' significance in legal proceedings and media scrutiny of Epstein's extensive network.
