The recent batch of Epstein files released by the Department of Justice has disclosed an email that names filmmaker Mira Nair in connection with a high-profile afterparty held in 2009. Along with the mother of democratic socialist politician Zohran Mamdani, other high-profile names like Bill Clinton and Jeff Bezos were also mentioned in the file.
According to the newly revealed documents, the email was reportedly sent by publicist Peggy Siegal to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on October 21, 2009. The message mentioned an afterparty hosted at the New York townhouse of Ghislaine Maxwell, who was later convicted of sex trafficking-related crimes. The event took place after a screening of the film Amelia, a biographical drama directed by Nair. In her email, Siegal wrote, “Just left Ghislaine’s townhouse…after party for film."
