Ghislaine Maxwell appeared to receive a chummy missive in 2002 from a ‘Melania.’

 

Amid the millions of documents in the Epstein files is an email from 2002, signed “Love, Melania,” that appears to be written to Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime companion and convicted co-conspirator.

 

The email addresses for sender and recipient on the note, dated Oct. 23, 2002, are both redacted. The message begins “Dear G!” and the sender writes: “Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture.”
