Released Department of Justice files show how Jeffrey Epstein used private emails to cultivate powerful men while relegating women to peripheral, service-oriented roles. The correspondence reveals elites networking and trading favors, often with derogatory, sexist language about women, who were assigned tasks like scheduling, arranging food or travel, or providing companionship. Women rarely figured in substantive decision-making or elite gatherings and were frequently objectified in crude exchanges, highlighting deep-rooted patriarchal dynamics in Epstein’s inner circle.
