The latest batch of documents released by a US congressional committee from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein offer a glimpse of the late convicted sex offender's elite social circle.
They also confirm a Wall Street Journal report earlier this summer about a collection of messages, crude drawings and pictures which were given to Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003 - three years before his crimes became publicly known - which included an alleged letter from the now-President Donald Trump.
Trump has said the letter is fake and a signature at the bottom is not his. He also sued the newspaper's reporters, publisher and executives, including News Corp's owner Rupert Murdoch, seeking $10bn (£7.4bn) in damages after the story was published.
But beyond the purported letter from Trump, the documents - which include Epstein's last will and testament, entries from his address book and his 2007 non-prosecution agreement with the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida - have raised more questions about the financier's influence and how widely known his behaviour was among his associates.
Here are six key takeaways.
