This document covers those named in the source material who have a documented contact or appearance but whose connection does not warrant a full standalone profile at the current stage of the knowledge base.

  • Claim E: Peter Attia left CBS News in late February 2026 following revelation of crass email exchanges with Epstein about the Miami Herald victim story.

DOJ File Evidence

Claim A β€” Richard Branson "bring your harem" email β€” SUPPORTS (Direct/Verbatim)

The DOJ corpus contains the exact email referenced in public reporting. Three documents contain identical or near-identical copies of the same email chain:

  • EFTA00717415, EFTA01753746, EFTA00970528 (Sep 11, 2013): Email from Richard Branson to Jeffrey Epstein: "Dear Jeffrey, It was really nice seeing you yesterday. The boys in Watersports can't stop speaking about it! Any time you're in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!"

Important context from the same email: Branson also advised Epstein on image rehabilitation, writing: "I think if Bill Gates was willing to say that you've been a brilliant advisor to him, that you slipped up many years ago by sleeping with a 17Β½ year old woman and were punished for it, that you've more than learnt your lesson and have done nothing that's against the law since and, yes, as a single man you seem to have a penchant for women. But there's nothing wrong with that." β€” Branson was actively strategising on how Gates might provide Epstein a character reference.

Note on attribution: The phrase "bring your harem" comes from Branson TO Epstein (not vice versa), suggesting Branson was familiar with Epstein's travelling companions and framing them as a "harem." Virgin Group's claim that this referred to three adult professional staff members is a characterisation offered after the files were released; the DOJ document itself provides no clarification.

Additional Branson–Epstein correspondence is present: EFTA01947232 (Nov 2013) shows Branson's personal assistant (Helen Clarke) coordinating Epstein's visit to Branson's Necker Island; EFTA02016566 and EFTA00958719 (Apr 2013) show Epstein asking Lesley Groff to check if Branson would allow Epstein to bring Bill Gates' assistants to an event.


Claim B β€” Sergey Brin visited Epstein's island and New York home β€” SUPPORTS (Indirect/Litigation Context)

The Brin–Epstein connection appears in the JPMorgan civil litigation documents (Virgin Islands v. JPMorgan, 2022–2023):

  • EFTA02812776 (JPMorgan responses to requests for admission, Aug 2023, chunk 15): States that "Epstein referred Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, as a client or for additional activities..." to JPMorgan's Private Bank. JPMorgan objected to the framing on definitional grounds but did not flatly deny the referral.
  • EFTA02812502 (same litigation, chunk 234): "Epstein referred Sergey Brin as a client to JPMorgan."
  • EFTA02815839 (same litigation): References Brin in the context of JPMorgan banking relationships.

These documents establish that Epstein and Brin had a relationship sufficient for Epstein to refer Brin as a banking client β€” confirming a substantive connection. The specific claim about visiting Epstein's private island and planning NY dinners is not directly documented in these files (those details likely come from Maxwell civil case depositions and media reporting), but the Brin–Epstein relationship is confirmed in the DOJ corpus through the JPMorgan litigation record.


Claim C β€” Sarah Ferguson "a legend" / "spectacular and special friend" emails during house arrest β€” NOT FOUND

  • EFTA01368190: A UK tabloid article archived in the files refers to Prince Andrew as "best-known in America as the ex-husband of flame-haired Sarah (Fergie) Ferguson" β€” a passing reference only.
  • No documents were found in the extracted DOJ corpus containing Ferguson's emails to Epstein with the phrases "a legend" or "spectacular and special friend."

Assessment: These emails appear to exist (they have been widely reported and partially published by media outlets), but they are either not among the documents released under EFTA, or they are present but not captured in the current text extraction. The claim is credible based on media reporting, but the specific phrases cannot be confirmed from the DOJ files as currently available.


Claim D β€” Steve Tisch "professional or civilian" email β€” SUPPORTS (Direct/Verbatim)

The DOJ corpus contains the exact email exchange described:

  • EFTA01975499 and EFTA00959850 (Apr 26, 2013): Email thread between Steve Tisch and Jeffrey Epstein. Tisch wrote: "Curious to know about [redacted]. I will contact [redacted]. pro or civilian?" Epstein replied: "no, but i will ask (all confidential) I will get all info, did you contact the great ass fake tit.. shes a character, short term, has an older boyfriend going to acting school, a 10 ass. I am happy to have you as a new but obviously shared interest friend."

The exchange confirms: (1) Tisch asking Epstein whether a woman was a "professional" (i.e., sex worker) or a civilian; (2) Epstein's crude description of women, offering to share contact information; and (3) the explicit framing of Tisch as a "shared interest friend." This directly corroborates the claim.


Claim E β€” Peter Attia Miami Herald emails and CBS departure β€” INCONCLUSIVE / PARTIAL

The DOJ corpus contains extensive Attia–Epstein correspondence confirming a close relationship, but the specific email exchange discussing the 2018 Miami Herald story was not identified in the extracted text:

  • EFTA02498392 (Jun 28, 2015): Attia acting as Epstein's personal physician, advising on cholesterol/lipid treatment regimen: "Yes, I think we'll try livalo, ubiquinone, trilipix, metformin + big nutrition/exercise overhaul."
  • EFTA01048416 (Apr 24, 2017): Email exchange about a young woman's O-1 visa situation. Attia: "We've got it down to 3 candidates for the role (and she is one of them). My biggest concern is her visa... She plans to stop modelling but says the company will still get her an O next summer. Is this possible?" Epstein replied: "yes, o's are easily extended for three more years. i make no representations this is strictly biz." β€” Epstein advising on visa strategy for a woman being considered for employment in Attia's organisation.
  • EFTA02057700 (Mar 2, 2016): Attia emailing Lesley Groff about visiting Epstein in New York.
  • EFTA00285497 (2018 calendar): "Reminder: Peter Attia in NY April 16–20."
  • EFTA00285093 (Jul 2015 calendar): "3–5:15pm Appt w/Peter Attia" on July 9 NY schedule.
  • EFTA02046619 (Jul 2016): Attia recommended an allergist to Epstein.

Assessment: The DOJ files confirm a close, multi-year relationship: Attia was Epstein's personal doctor, regular visitor, and exchanged personal favours including Epstein advising on women's visa situations. The specific "crass emails about the Miami Herald victim story" that led to Attia's CBS departure are not found in the DOJ corpus as extracted β€” these appear to have emerged from post-release media analysis of the files rather than from a single identifiable DOJ document.
