In yet another revelation from the new cache of Epstein files, photos of Brett Ratner, the director of the newly-released documentary on US First Lady Melania Trump, was seen with Epstein. In the images, Ratner is seen on a couch beside Epstein and two women, whose identities have been concealed. Ratner is seen hugging a woman while Epstein is seen hugging another woman. It remains unclear when the pictures were taken. The BBC reported that they appear to have been taken in the same location as photos of Epstein and Ratner alongside the French modelling agent Jean-Luc Brunel. Notably, the documentary ‘Melania’ was Ratner’s first project since he faced sexual harassment charges by six women in 2017.

What are Epstein Files and what we know about the latest release
The fresh cache of three million Epstein documents released by Department of Justice (DOJ) on January 30, contains name of former Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Howard Lutnick, Elon Musk, Mira Nair, among others. Nearly 2.5 million pages remain unreleased. The term “Epstein files” refers to a collection of legal documents, court records, and investigative materials connected to Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier convicted of operating a sex trafficking ring involving underage girls. It also includes transcripts of interviews with victims and witnesses and details of his flight logs. In November, US President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Bill after Congress' approval, and made it a federal law that mandates the DOJ to release all unclassified Epstein documents.
