Fresh documents released in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation have named US First Lady Melania Trump. The latest file dump by the US Justice Department includes an email exchange between Melania and Ghislaine Maxwell.
To ‘Dear G’ from ‘Sweet Pea’
The email is dated October 23, 2002, and was part of nearly three million documents released on Friday. At the time, Melania was still known by her maiden name, Melania Knauss. She married Donald Trump in 2005.
In the message, Melania addressed Maxwell as “G" and referred to a New York magazine profile of Epstein. That article included Donald Trump’s comment that Epstein liked women “on the younger side".
“Dear G! How are you? Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture," Melania wrote. She also mentioned plans to meet in New York and signed off with “Love, Melania".

Maxwell’s reply
Maxwell replied by calling Melania “sweet pea". She said her travel plans had changed and she might not have time to meet, but would try to call her.
Trump and Epstein links
Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein later fell out in the early 2000s. However, at the time of the email, they were believed to still be friends. In November 2002, Trump, Melania Knauss, Ghislaine Maxwell and model Naomi Campbell were photographed together at a Dolce & Gabbana store opening in New York.

Later emails mention ‘Melania’s boyfriend’
Melania Trump is also mentioned in emails exchanged between Epstein and author Michael Wolff in 2017, during Trump’s first term as president. Epstein wrote that journalists were “working a lead on a melania boyfriend". Wolff replied that he would be sorry to miss such a story.
In 2018, Epstein emailed Wolff again, saying a Melania-related story “could drive him over the edge if the melania story doesnt come out". However, it remains unclear what Epstein meant, as he often used coded language and made spelling mistakes.
