A consultora de comunicações de crise Juleanna Glover trocou e-mails e reuniu-se com Jeffrey Epstein durante um período de 15 meses que terminou em 2019. Ela afirmou que as interações visavam descobrir informações prejudiciais à reeleição de Donald Trump. A correspondência, detalhada em arquivos do Departamento de Justiça, também envolveu assuntos comerciais relacionados ao seu cliente Elon Musk.
Juleanna Glover, ex-assessora na Casa Branca de George W. Bush e conselheira da campanha presidencial de John McCain, começou a se corresponder com Jeffrey Epstein em 2017. Apresentada pelo jornalista Michael Wolff, que assessorava ambos em relações públicas, Glover almoçou com Epstein em maio de 2017 ao lado de Wolff. Na época, Glover consultava para Elon Musk em meio a esforços para privatizar a Tesla com envolvimento saudita. Their exchanges included 31 emails from Glover, with 12 on logistics and 15 concerning Tesla. In August 2018, Glover shared ideas for third-party presidential tickets, such as Biden/Romney or Bill Gates/Larry Hogan, which she forwarded to Epstein. She proposed these in an email to a group of thinkers and then to Epstein at his address jeffreyepstein@nonprofitlight.com. Glover emphasized her Never Trump stance, telling Politico that engaging Epstein was to find material to hinder Trump's reelection, though no such solicitations appear in the emails. Glover also sought Epstein's assistance on a 2017 business issue involving Musk and Saudi Arabia, offering to help if Epstein advised sovereign wealth funds. Epstein critiqued Musk's dealings with Middle Easterners and suggested board candidates like Larry Summers. She defended Musk against drug use rumors, replying to Epstein's query about cocaine and ecstasy that Musk “mal bebe”. In July 2017, Glover arranged a call between Epstein and Michael Abramowitz of Freedom House to discuss pro-democracy funding, motivated by Epstein's interest in nonprofits and concerns over Russian election interference. No funds were accepted. During a July 2018 meeting, Glover warned Epstein about Steve Bannon, writing, “há uma malícia e natureza manipuladora vingativa ali que só pode causar-lhe dano.” The Department of Justice files mention Glover 191 times, mostly duplicates. She described two in-person meetings and three calls, insisting Epstein was never a client and she received nothing of value from him. Epstein died by suicide on August 10, 2019.
