Overview
- The latest DOJ release on Jeffrey Epstein includes a photo of Ratner seated next to Epstein and emails in which Epstein referenced Ratner.
- Ratner told Fox News and Piers Morgan that he met Epstein only at that event roughly 20 years ago and had no contact with him before or after.
- The women pictured alongside the men have their faces redacted in the files, and the documents provide no date or location for the photo.
- Reporters note that appearing in the files does not, on its own, indicate criminal conduct or that Ratner is under investigation.
- Emails in the cache show Epstein’s assistant asking Ratner to call and an invitation to a dinner, with no confirmation Ratner attended, as Ratner’s documentary Melania rolls out in theaters with a $7.1 million opening.
