A newly disclosed email in the U.S. Department of Justice's latest release of Jeffrey Epstein investigative records shows the financier claiming he had "specila access dpn't wory" to Disney-an assertion that, while unverified, has prompted renewed scrutiny of how he portrayed his influence among elite institutions.
The email appears in Data Set 9 of the Epstein Files Transparency Act disclosure, part of a sweeping publication of more than 3.5 million pages of unclassified records tied to federal investigations. The tranche consists largely of internal communications and correspondence gathered during earlier probes.
In a December 2013 exchange with physicist Lawrence Krauss regarding logistics for a Disney visit, Epstein wrote: "i have specila access dpn't wory," preserving the spelling errors visible in the official filing. The message references tickets and seating arrangements but does not include any Disney personnel or documentation confirming privileged access.
The Walt Disney Company is mentioned only in the context of the planned visit. No released documents indicate that Disney granted Epstein any formal privileges or that the company was aware of, or involved in, the claim. The available record reflects only Epstein's own statement during a private exchange.
The email is part of a larger document production ordered after Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, legislation requiring the Department of Justice to release unclassified records previously shielded from public view. The DOJ ultimately published more than 3.5 million pages across 12 organized data sets, making it one of the largest disclosures in the department's history.
Key figures from the release include:
- More than 3.5 million pages publicly disclosed
- 12 organized data sets compiled by the DOJ
- An estimated over six million total documents, with additional materials not yet released
Researchers reviewing Data Set 9 say the Disney reference aligns with a broader pattern documented throughout the archive: Epstein frequently invoked proximity to powerful individuals and institutions when coordinating travel or social engagements.
Emails, flight records and other correspondence in the broader release show Epstein cultivating relationships across academia, finance, politics and entertainment. In many instances, he emphasized exclusivity and access, sometimes without clear corroboration.
The Disney remark offers no proof of preferential treatment. It contains no verification of special privileges and no follow-up evidence demonstrating that access was granted. Instead, analysts note, it underscores how Epstein presented himself in private communications.
The Justice Department has acknowledged that roughly half of its Epstein-related archive remains unreleased, with redactions still in place to protect victims' identities. Lawmakers from both parties have argued that the scope of redactions and withheld material complicates efforts to fully understand the context behind certain names, claims and associations.
