“[REDACTED] is a very intelligent student. She is a delight to have in class. She maintains a superior rank among her peers. She is creative, sensitive, and witty.” - 1994 letter of recommendation to Interlochen Summer Camp for “Jane,” a young Epstein victim #Epsteinfiles
Epstein brought at least one Interlochen student to meet with Donald Trump, per a male classmate who spoke with her in confidence. EFTA01249957 - EFTA01249960 #EpsteinFiles
Though he only attended camp for one summer, Jeffrey Epstein would pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to Interlochen, specifying that scholarships be given to girls of his choosing. #EpsteinFiles
After reading thousands of files, I really wonder why we've never paid this much attention to Hugh Hefner. #EpsteinFiles
31E-NY-3027571 is the code for the Epstein Files. How many pages? This number is significant. And throughout the files it’s listed over and over as “unclassified.” That means we’re supposed to have it in our hot little hands. #EpsteinFiles
Michael Cohen hopped in my DMs after doing his best to convince the world he’d never heard of Epstein, and that Katie Johnson was a fake. I showed him, a lawyer, how to verify her three case filings. So no Michael, no I don’t. #EpsteinFiles
There are large swaths of America that we forget when we campaign and give speeches. Most of them are poor, isolated, and regularly have no access to internet or cell phones. Carter, Montana - Pop. 65

My kid made his own costume and we’re going to have a long conversation after this…
If Mitch McConnell was alive, well, and on the mend, he wouldn’t just be calling the people who benefit from him being alive, well, and on the mend.
I talked to my old friend Jimmy Hoffa this morning about tariffs on concrete
As Michael Cohen starts his new job at WABC radio, a reminder of how we got here…
If we want to stop having election surprises I have a suggestion…
One of the biggest lessons in the Epstein Files is learning to let the people you looked up to go. One of those for me was David Blaine. He helped Epstein by writing letters of recommendation for girls coming into the U.S. who needed O-1 (Einstein/genius) visas. #EpsteinFiles
In 2012, when Howard Lutnick took his children to the island, he claimed to know nothing about his neighbor Epstein's criminal history (despite him disappearing for 13 months). By this point, over 300 articles in NY City newspapers had been written on the topic. #EpsteinFiles
This is Epstein’s Paris apartment, which he owned from 2001-2019. It was searched in 2019. There is no public documentation to show that the evidence gathered was ever turned over to the DOJ/FBI. #EpsteinFiles
This is Jeffrey Epstein's house that he lived in from 1992-1998 on Leslie Wexner's vast New Albany Estate. It has never been investigated. #EpsteinFiles

Okay hear me out. I kind of wish they weren’t model-beautiful building climbers who had aerial cameras set up. I want slightly overweight millennials Josh and Jennifer, who don’t really like each other, but climbed the Empire State for Justice, but now don’t know how to get down.
I have FOIA'd the DOJ, Office of the Attorney General, for the missing 37 pages of FBI files for Jane Doe 4, the 13-year-old Epstein/Trump survivor from Hilton Head Island, SC. #EpsteinFiles
Teterboro Airport will never not give me the willies, filled with little private planes of the rich and famous, taking who knows who, to God knows where. #EpsteinFiles
Sent out three literary agent query letters today because I’m a glutton for punishment. Fly, little manuscript… #writingcommunity
