Epstein files reveal 'A' asked for 'inappropriate friends'

References to Balmoral among latest batch of documents

- HOLLY EVANS

Newly released documents from the so-called Epstein files have revealed a series of emails written by an “A” in Balmoral to Ghislaine Maxwell, asking whether she had found them any “inappropriate friends”.

The US Department of Justice yesterday published nearly 30,000 pages relating to the disgraced paedophile financier, the largest single drop so far, some of which include references to the British royal residence in Scotland.

In one email, Maxwell, who was jailed for 20 years for her role in sex-trafficking Epstein’s victims, asked an acquaintance to introduce “Andrew” to “friendly and discreet and fun” friends and to “some 2 legged sight seeing”.

The email added: “He does not want to read about any trip in the papers [describing] whom or what he saw.”

In the latest document release, an email in August 2001 from “A” with the address “The Invisible Man” reads: “I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family.” The writer claims to be “totally exhausted”, and asks Maxwell how she is.
