  • Junkermann also stepped down last week as a trustee of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity following reporting on her relationship with Epstein.
  • U.S. Department of Justice emails show exchanges between Junkermann and Epstein from 2009 through 2019 that included affectionate language and an offer of work.
  • In 2018, Junkermann invited Epstein to a planned lunch for former prime minister David Cameron, according to the released correspondence.
  • Junkermann joined the UK government’s Health Tech Advisory Board in 2018, and her spokesman says she was deceived and misled by Epstein.
