Jeffrey Epstein's web of celebrity relationships was far more complex and extensive than previously thought, according to recently released documents. The records, obtained by CBS News through a congressional inquiry, reveal that many prominent individuals continued to associate with the financier until his 2019 arrest on sex trafficking charges.
Details on Epstein's daily life, including meetings with influential people, business deals, and social events, are now publicly available. Among those who spent considerable time in Epstein's orbit were filmmaker Woody Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn, as well as Goldman Sachs executive Kathryn Ruemmler.
Allen, known for his work on films such as "Manhattan" and "Annie Hall," had a particularly close relationship with Epstein. The documents show that they attended film screenings together, watched movies in Epstein's home screening room, and traveled together to several destinations, including Manhattan Film Center in New York City and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Ruemmler, who was the global chair of the white collar defense and investigations practice at Latham & Watkins during her time with Epstein, had a professional relationship with him, according to Goldman Sachs. However, she later said that she regretted ever knowing Epstein.
Steve Bannon, a former White House chief strategist in the Trump administration, also met with Epstein frequently, as did Bill Gates, Peter Thiel, and Bob Kerrey. The meetings included business deals, social events, and even dinner invitations, including one to Paris where all four individuals were scheduled to meet.
Epstein's interest in medicine and longevity was well-documented in his calendar. He had planned a company focused on gene sequencing as early as 2012 and frequently met with Deepak Chopra, the physician and integrative medicine advocate, about treatment for Epstein's sleep struggles.
Peter Attia, a doctor specializing in longevity, also appeared in Epstein's schedule, suggesting that he was a patient. The documents show that Epstein repeatedly met with Attia over several years, including notations for blood draws and follow-ups.
The records also revealed that Epstein maintained relationships with politicians, including Bill Richardson, the late New Mexico governor, who had traveled on Epstein's helicopter to the U.S. Virgin Islands in 2011. The flight logs included names of alleged victims, but those were redacted before release.
In a statement, Chopra said their meetings focused solely on practicing meditation and learning about brain research. However, no research project was ever pursued as a result of their interactions.
The documents provide a glimpse into Epstein's life beyond his criminal activity, revealing a complex network of relationships with influential individuals from various fields. While the exact nature of these relationships remains unclear, they paint a picture of a man who was skilled at cultivating connections with powerful people, both for business and personal gain.

So like, this is wild 
.
I'm not sure what's more surprising - that he was friends with Epstein or that he was friends with Bill Gates. Those two are like oil and water, you know? Different vibes altogether 
.
. He had a whole network of connections that went far beyond his crime ring. It's like he was a master of manipulation or something 
. Either way, it's just a whole mess, you feel? 
. I mean, Woody Allen's been accused of pedophilia, and he was BFFs with Epstein? That's just weird 
. And Bill Gates met with him for dinner in Paris? What were they even talking about 
.
, meanwhile epstein was busy peddling his 'health' stuff to deepak chopra 
. and we're supposed to believe this is all just a coincidence? i'm not buying it 
those business deals and social events with the big shots? just another way for epstein to get ahead, using his 'influence' to grease the wheels of his own scumbaggery 
at the same time he was making these classic films... meanwhile, Deepak Chopra was all about meditation and brain research with him 
it's mind-blowing how complex and extensive Epstein's web of relationships was 
It's like we're living in a David Lynch movie or something.
Anyway, I'm gonna go listen to some old Woody Allen movies now – maybe the nostalgia will make me forget all this... 
i mean thats some wild stuff but also kinda scary cuz u never know what ppl r doin when they think no1 is lookin 
anyway, its def interesting to see how many big names were connected 2 him & how he was able 2 manipulate these relationships 4 his own gain 
. It's like they were all just friends or something, but what if they knew more than they let on? 
The fact that he had these connections with super smart people like Peter Attia and Deepak Chopra about "longevity" just makes me go "huh?"... like what was really going on there? And those helicopter logs with alleged victims' names... this is getting creepier by the minute
