WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The House Oversight Committee‘s records include a written exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Deepak Chopra, a prominent figure in the New Age movement.
In July 2016, nearly eight years after Epstein became a registered sex offender, Chopra asked Epstein for information about Marla Maples, who was President Donald Trump’s second wife.
“Anything we share is between us,” the Indian-American guru wrote to Epstein in an e-mail. “I share nothing with anyone but trust you.”
The exchanges with Chopra were included in the more than 20,000 pages from Epstein’s estate released by the congressional lawmakers on Wednesday.
“When she told Donald she was pregnant. I lost a 10k dollar bet with him, and sent him a truck of baby food in payment,” Epstein wrote to Chopra about Maples, who wed Trump after she gave birth to their daughter Tiffany on Oct. 13, 1993, in West Palm Beach.
In November 2016, Epstein shared a link with Chopra to an article about a woman who had filed and dropped a civil lawsuit alleging that Trump and Epstein had sexually assaulted her in 1994 when she was 13.
Chopra wrote to Epstein, “Did she also drop the civil case against you?”
“YuP,” Epstein wrote.
“Good,” Chopra wrote.
Trump and Maples got divorced in 1999. In other emails, included on the record, Epstein described Trump as “evil beyond belief.”
The record blacked out the victims, but lawmakers identified Virginia Giuffre, who accused Epstein and Guislaine Maxwell of running a sex-trafficking ring, as the subject of some exchanges.
“Yes she was on my plane and yes she had her picture taken with Andrew,” Epstein wrote in 2011 about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew and the Duke of York, who denied in a BBC interview that a photograph showing him with Giuffre at Maxwell’s home in London was a fake.
“I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is trump,” Epstein wrote to Maxwell in 2011, adding that Giuffre “spent hours at my house with him” and “he has never once been mentioned.”
Epstein died in 2019, and Maxwell became a convicted sex offender in 2021. Giuffre died in April, and her memoir was published on Oct. 21.
In response to the congressional records release, Trump used Truth Social to discredit it as an “Epstein Hoax” and “another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats.”
Chopra and his foundation have not responded to requests for comment.
