DOJ documents reveal 471 emails between Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Jeffrey Epstein spanning 2011-2014, including discussions of adultery, naked women as wallpaper for her teenage son, and complaints about royal duties.

Robert Lawrence Kuhn, host of "Closer to China" on Chinese state television and "Closer to Truth" on PBS, received at least $650,000 from Jeffrey Epstein between 2017 and 2018. DOJ files show Epstein used Kuhn as a conduit for China business deals and intelligence briefings.

Barry Cohen appeared in 605 EFTA documents while simultaneously serving as Apollo executive, co-executor of Leon Black's estate, trustee of a $28M GRAT, and direct email correspondent with Epstein.
