Epstein Files Cite Messages Linking Anil Ambani, US Political Figures, and References to India’s “Leadership”X
A Fresh Look at the Epstein Files and India–US Power Circles
The latest release of US Justice Department records has once again placed Jeffrey Epstein at the center of global attention—this time with India firmly in the spotlight. Newly surfaced communications allegedly link Epstein with Indian industrialist Anil Ambani, while repeatedly referencing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior political figures in Washington.
Before jumping to conclusions, it’s important to unpack what the files actually say, what remains unproven, and how the Indian government has officially responded.
What Do the Newly Released Files Reveal?
According to the documents—part of millions of pages recovered during US investigations—Epstein exchanged messages with Anil Ambani between 2017 and 2019. These messages reportedly touched on:
- Possible access to senior US political figures
- References to PM Modi’s diplomatic visits, including the US and Israel
- Mentions of “Leadership” and informal or “Track 2” diplomatic outreach
One 2017 message allegedly shows Ambani asking Epstein for help meeting Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon, both key figures in Donald Trump’s inner circle at the time, ahead of PM Modi’s anticipated US visit.
Epstein’s response suggested such meetings might be difficult—and possibly unproductive—given how busy Trump’s aides were.
The 2019 New York Meeting That Sparked Attention
A particularly sensitive detail in the files refers to a May 23, 2019 meeting at Epstein’s Manhattan residence. Following this meeting, Epstein allegedly messaged Steve Bannon, claiming he had met “Modi’s guy.”
In those messages, Epstein made sweeping geopolitical claims, including assertions that:
- China was Modi’s “main enemy”
- Pakistan acted as China’s regional proxy
- Modi would enjoy engaging with Bannon over shared concerns about China
These statements have not been independently verified, and no evidence suggests PM Modi authorized or even knew of such conversations.
India’s Official Response: Strong and Unequivocal
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has firmly rejected Epstein’s assertions—especially those related to PM Modi’s 2017 Israel visit.
In a statement issued on January 31, 2026, the MEA described Epstein’s claims as:
“Little more than trashy ruminations by a convicted criminal… to be dismissed with the utmost contempt.”
The government emphasized that while PM Modi’s Israel visit in July 2017 was official and well-documented, any suggestion of secret motives or US-directed theatrics is baseless.
Political Reactions Inside India
The disclosures have sparked predictable political reactions:
- Congress leaders have called the revelations a “wake-up call,” urging transparency.
- The BJP, meanwhile, has accused the opposition of misquoting and selectively editing emails to create controversy where none exists.
Notably, Anil Ambani has not issued any public statement addressing the documents so far.
Why the Epstein Files Keep Making Headlines
Jeffrey Epstein’s death in 2019 did not end scrutiny of his global network. Each new document dump continues to reignite debate because:
- Epstein had contact with politicians, billionaires, and power brokers worldwide
- Many references in the files are unverified claims, not sworn testimony
- The documents often blur the line between fact, exaggeration, and self-promotion
This latest batch has widened the lens to include India’s political and business elite, making it especially sensitive.
The Big Picture: What Readers Should Keep in Mind
Here’s the key takeaway in simple terms:
- The files mention names—but mentions are not proof
- Epstein’s statements reflect his claims, not confirmed diplomatic channels
- India’s government has categorically denied any wrongdoing or covert engagement
As with all Epstein-related disclosures, context and caution are crucial.
Final Thoughts
The Epstein files are undeniably provocative, but responsible reading demands fact-checking, official responses, and restraint. While the documents raise questions about influence, access, and global networking, they stop short of proving misconduct by Indian leadership.
For now, the controversy underscores one thing clearly:
Jeffrey Epstein’s shadow continues to stretch far beyond his lifetime—but not every shadow is substance.
