Newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein's files reveal his assistance in arranging a White House tour for Woody Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, in December 2015. The emails show Epstein contacted a former White House counsel, Kathy Ruemmler, to facilitate the visit. While Epstein himself was deemed too politically sensitive to attend due to his past conviction, Allen, Previn, and Ruemmler toured the White House on December 27, 2015, while President Obama was in Hawaii. The emails also highlight the friendship between Allen, Previn, and Epstein, including their shared experiences of media criticism and mutual support. The documents are part of a larger release by the Justice Department.
