Day 2 of our Guardian analysis of more than a million Epstein emails exposes the child sex offender’s deep relationships with more high-profile figures
The Epstein files have led to intense scrutiny over links between the child sex offenderJeffrey Epsteinand the rich and powerful. But the vast trove of information has made it difficult to assess the extent of some of those connections.
In this second of a two-part series, The Guardian has focused on Epstein’s links to high-profile people in business and the arts – including the renowned economist and former US treasury secretaryLarry Summers, the New York film director Woody Allen and Jes Staley, the former head of Barclays.
The Guardian has analysed more than a million files and identified more than 150,000 unique emails for this investigation.
Thefirst articlelooked at the former British prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the UK politician Peter Mandelson, Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon, and the Emirati billionaire Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem.

Summersstepped downfrom teaching at Harvard University due to the revelations in the Epstein Files.
The analysis shows more than 3,000 direct emails from at least 2010 to 2019, some of them including Summers’ wife, Elisa New,whom he married in 2005.
