A new website allows you to read the Epstein estate emails released by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee in a website that has a Gmail-like interface.
More than 20,000 documents from Epstein’s estate were released by the committee earlier this month, amidst increased pressure to release the Epstein files.
The “Epstein files” refers to the cache of evidence held against the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which the US Justice Department currently has jurisdiction over.
Previously, there had been robust efforts from Donald Trump and several high-profile members of Republican leadership to block files from ever seeing daylight.
Jmail, created by software engineer Riley Walz and Luke Igel, co-founder of AI video assistant company Kino AI, lets users scroll through the estate emails as if it was their Gmail account.
Igel told Rolling Stone that he thought Epstein’s emails illuminated his daily habits. Creating Gmail look-alike website gave users a glimpse inside his psyche.
Igel and Walz created the site in just five hours and launched it two days later. It swiftly accumulated milions of views.
“It was not that hard to build,” Igel told Rolling Stone.
“There were two steps: One was extracting these very messy data from those PDFs, putting them back into the data form they came from, which was email, and then building a very faithful Gmail parody.”
The emails, which span April 2009 to July 2019, include Quora Digest documents and messages with redacted names.
Users can search keywords or use a dice icon to jump to a random page of emails.
Emails include a 2011 message to Ghislaine Maxwell: “i want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.”
There are also emails between high-profile people such as political strategist Steve Bannon and former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.
