Overview
- The U.S. Department of Justice released a voluminous trove of records under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, including emails, call logs and photos.
- A 2011 email shows Jeffrey Epstein telling an associate named Melanie, “it’s interesting we were talking about ‘power’—have you heard the kanye west rap song ‘power’—some funny lyrics that might resonate.”
- The exchange occurred as Epstein discussed ownership and control of a website called Mother’s Army, according to the released records.
- AllHipHop reports that Mother’s Army was launched by Sarah Ferguson, with Epstein allegedly holding controlling shares and conditioning the brand and domain’s return on her signing a letter of support.
- The Source notes the email does not indicate any personal connection to Kanye West, only a reference to his widely known song.
