Records released by the US Justice Department from Jeffrey Epstein’s seized devices show message exchanges with businessman Anil Ambani between 2017 and 2019, according to a report by The Wire. The messages refer to requests for help on US political access and discussions linked to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s priorities. A May 2019 New York meeting is described in Epstein’s texts as involving a Modi “representative”. The report says Ambani attended a meeting at Epstein’s residence that day. It adds that the claim about a Modi representative is not independently confirmed. India’s external affairs ministry has earlier dismissed similar Epstein-linked references as unreliable. (PC: X)
