EFTA00018466.pdf
This document is a collection of news clips from July 31, 2019, primarily focusing on Jeffrey Epstein. It details his unusual dream of seeding the human race with his DNA, his long-standing fascination with transhumanism and eugenics, and his cultivation of relationships with prominent scientists through financial backing and social events. The articles also mention various scientists who attended his gatherings, their impressions of him, and the financial transactions made by Epstein's foundations to related organizations and individuals.
EFTA00003407.pdf
This document is a photograph labeled with the evidence identifier EFTA00003407. It depicts a group of men seated at what appears to be a formal dinner. The individuals strongly resemble key figures from Jeffrey Epstein's circle of scientific associates, specifically Martin Nowak (center) and Lawrence Krauss (right), with John Brockman likely on the left. No text is present other than the evidence stamp.
DOJ-OGR-00032498.jpg
A page from a spiral-bound message book containing four phone messages for 'Mr. J.E.' (Jeffrey Epstein). Callers include Rhiannon, retail magnate Leslie Wexner, physicist Lawrence Krauss, and an individual named Pinto (with a French phone number). Notably, Lawrence Krauss's message thanks Epstein for an evening in NYC the previous night and suggests a discussion regarding 'time and money.' There is a discrepancy in the handwritten dates (Top slips say '05', bottom slips say '04'), suggesting a likely new-year error by the scribe, placing the logs in early January.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031676.jpg
An email chain from February 2018 between Jeffrey Epstein and physicist Lawrence Krauss. Krauss discusses the fallout from allegations published by Buzzfeed and his decision to take a voluntary leave from the Board of the Bulletin to avoid being fired ('the alternative was worse'). Epstein advises Krauss to aggressively refute the claims, suggesting he frame them as 'ludicrous' or merely 'jokes' and compares the accusers' consensus to people agreeing they saw flying saucers.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031556.jpg
An email thread from February 2018 between physicist Lawrence Krauss and Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias 'jeffrey E.'). Krauss confides in Epstein about the fallout from a Buzzfeed article and his decision to take a voluntary leave as Chair of the Board of the Bulletin to avoid a worse alternative. Krauss expresses despair about his career recovery and wishes for a distraction, specifically mentioning a desire for Donald Trump to be indicted.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_031434.jpg
An email chain from December 11, 2017, between journalist Peter Aldhous and physicist Lawrence Krauss. Aldhous presses Krauss on why multiple women have accused him of sexual misconduct over a decade and seeks clarification on a specific 2006 hotel room encounter. Krauss denies the allegations, stating he treats people with respect and does not sexually harass anyone, while noting he is traveling and will provide a fuller response later.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026774.jpg
This document is a fact-checking inquiry from journalist Peter Aldhous to physicist Lawrence Krauss.

The document quotes Krauss explicitly stating he would believe Epstein over his accusers based on personal observation.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026768.jpg
This document is an email chain from December 11, 2017, in which physicist Lawrence Krauss forwards his response to a BuzzFeed News inquiry regarding sexual harassment allegations to Sam Harris and Travis Pangburn. In the forwarded message to reporter Peter Aldhous, Krauss categorically denies the allegations, stating 'I do not sexually harass people,' and claims the upcoming story is an attempt to smear him and potentially other atheists. Krauss cites his good standing with universities and the Center for Inquiry (CFI) as evidence of his proper conduct.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026756.jpg
This document appears to be a printed article or webpage, likely from 2017, highlighting Jeffrey Epstein's philanthropic support for science through the Lifeboat Foundation and the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard.

The text includes a testimonial from biologist Robert Trivers, who praises Epstein's intellect and 'no-strings' financial support.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_027805.jpg
This document is a log of digital messages from June 17, 2019, between Jeffrey Epstein (using the email 'e:jeeitunes@gmail.com') and a redacted individual.

The document appears to be part of the House Oversight files (indicated by the footer), likely related to investigations into Krauss's funding or associations, which historically included Jeffrey Epstein, though Epstein is not explicitly named in this specific text.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_011904.jpg
An email chain from April 5, 2018, between Lawrence Krauss and Jeffrey Epstein (via the email jeevacation@gmail.com).

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_032209.jpg
This document is a chat log from July 5, 2017, between 'lawkrauss' (likely Lawrence Krauss) and 'jeevacation' (likely Jeffrey Epstein). They discuss meeting in Paris, though 'jeevacation' expresses concern about Donald Trump's presence closing down the city. Krauss pitches a 'dream app idea' and explicitly requests that the recipient 'match ASU' (presumably financial donations to Arizona State University).
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_032206.jpg
This document contains an email thread from August 24, 2017, in which physicist Lawrence Krauss ('lawkrauss') seeks urgent advice regarding an allegation of inappropriate touching at an event in Australia.

Starr replies that Title IX does not apply if the victim is not a student, and this advice is forwarded back to Krauss via the 'jeevacation' account.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_029191.jpg
An email exchange between Jakob Köllhofer (Director of DAI Heidelberg) and Professor Lawrence Krauss regarding Krauss's potential participation in an event on October 19.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_029190.jpg
An email thread from August 29, 2018, between Lawrence Krauss and Jeffrey Epstein regarding Krauss's travel to Germany. Krauss explains that a lecture in Heidelberg was cancelled due to a controversy involving a 'university determination re australia' being publicized. He discusses the costs of airline tickets versus his speaking fees and asks Epstein if he is flying to Europe so he can 'hitchhike' (fly on Epstein's private plane). Epstein responds by asking about a bill related to 'Justin'.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_029180.jpg
In this August 2018 email, physicist Lawrence Krauss writes to Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias 'jeevacation') to ask if he can 'hitchhike' on Epstein's plane to Europe in October. Krauss explains that a major lecture in Heidelberg was cancelled due to a 'university determination re australia' being publicized, complicating his travel logistics and funding. He forwards an email from organizer Jakob Köllhofer, who offers a reduced lump sum of $5k for a different event on October 19, citing budget constraints caused by booking a prominent Nobel laureate.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_029234.jpg
This document is an email thread from September 2015 involving Jeffrey Epstein, physicist Lawrence Krauss, and linguist Noam Chomsky. The discussion centers on philosophical views regarding religion, fanaticism, and secular dogma, with Chomsky providing a lengthy analysis of 'secular religions' and American exceptionalism. Significantly, the top email from Epstein invites Krauss to bring 'depp' (likely Johnny Depp) to visit him in the Caribbean.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025653.jpg
This document contains an email signature block for Lawrence Krauss at Arizona State University (ASU), followed by repeated confidentiality disclaimers.

The document is marked with Bates number HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025653.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025652.jpg
This document is an email thread from September 10, 2015, initiated by physicist Lawrence Krauss, sending a New Yorker article about militant atheism to Noam Chomsky and Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias 'jeffrey E.' and email 'jeevacation@gmail.com'). Chomsky replies with a lengthy philosophical argument against ridiculing religious dogma, suggesting secular dogmas (like nationalism) are more dangerous, and comments on the 'Davis' case (likely Kim Davis). The thread concludes at the top with a brief reply, likely from Epstein, stating a belief that religion plays a positive role in many lives.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025651.jpg
An email chain from September 2015 between Jeffrey Epstein (using the email jeevacation@gmail.com) and physicist Lawrence Krauss.

The document includes a legal disclaimer at the bottom asserting the communication is the property of 'JEE' (Jeffrey Epstein).
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025638.jpg
This document appears to be a page consisting primarily of email footers and disclaimers.
