The email in question was sent to William Riley – who appeared to have been “hired by Epstein to investigate his victims,” the British outlet The Times reported – on April 18, 2011, and references what appears to be a planned call with Trump.
“Before I call Trump. with regard Virginia are there any other alternatives,” Epstein wrote just after midnight.
Epstein’s reference to someone named “Virginia” is speculated to be a reference to Virginia Giuffre, among the most prominent victims of Epstein.
Last summer, Trump made the startling admission that Epstein “stole” Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. It was Epstein’s repeated poaching of workers from Mar-a-Lago, Trump has previously claimed, that led to him cutting off all ties with the disgraced financier sometime around 2004. Trump also said he hadn’t spoken to Epstein since that falling out.
However, were Epstein and Trump to have had a phone call in 2011 as Epstein’s email to Riley indicates, Trump’s claim to have not spoken to Epstein since around 2004 would be proven to be blatantly false.

No doubt Trump was involved, but I’m iffy on this one. He asks if there’s any alternative to calling Trump, so it’s very likely he didn’t make that call. There’s a lot of smoking guns in there somewhere, but this ain’t one of them.
That’s not how I read it. He says he’s going to call Trump, but asks whether there’s alternatives to whatever he’s going to plan with Trump or tell him.
That’s the fun part of the Epstein emails, he writes like a brain damaged person.
It is really notable how ridiculously incoherent or careless he is about typing sometimes. Major drug or alcohol habit maybe?
I mean he didn’t have problems speaking…
I’ve seen one interview with him. No idea what he was like the rest of the time, or at the times he wrote the incoherent sloppy emails?
That’s how I read it too.
To me, it seems like he’s asking: With regard to Virginia, are there any alternatives besides her?
