Epstein files: Who else was mentioned?

US lawmakers have released more than 20,000 pages of documents from the estate of the disgraced financier and convicted late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Some of the documents mention Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the former prince and brother of King Charles; US President Donald Trump; Trump's former advisor Steve Bannon; and a cast of other characters from the world of media, politics and entertainment, who highlight the extent of Epstein's contact book.

Trump was a friend of Epstein's for years, but the president has said they fell out in about 2004, years before Epstein was first arrested. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.

Here are some of the the other names that came up, which does not indicate wrongdoing by any of the parties mentioned.

Michael Wolff

Michael Wolff, 72, is an American journalist and columnist - as well as a prolific author of books on the wealthy and the famous.

The new batch of files related to Jeffrey Epstein shed light on a relationship that appears to indicate a correspondence between Wolff and the late convicted sex offender.

Attention has focused particularly on one of the emails, in which Wolff appears to give Epstein advice in relation to Trump, as Trump was campaigning for the White House for the first time.

Wolff wrote to Epstein in 2015 to notify him that CNN was planning to ask Trump about his relationship with Epstein. In a separate email from October 2016, Wolff offers Epstein a chance to sit for an interview that could finish Trump.

Larry Summers

The documents include correspondences between Epstein and Larry Summers, who was former Democratic President Bill Clinton's Treasury Secretary. The emails indicate the two met frequently, with Epstein often trying to connect Summers to prominent global figures.

A spokesperson for Summers declined to comment, but referred the BBC to past statements by Summers. In recent statements, Summers revealed regrets about his contact with Epstein.

Kathryn Ruemmler

The House of Representatives Oversight Committee released several email exchanges between Epstein and Kathryn Ruemmler, who served as White House counsel during the presidency of Barack Obama. Their communications reflected discussions on hush-money payments made by Trump to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Peter Thiel

Billionaire investor Peter Thiel's name appeared again in the latest Epstein documents, highlighting correspondence that indicates an invitation from Epstein for Thiel to visit his Caribbean island.

Noam Chomsky

The latest document drop also includes correspondence between Noam Chomsky and Epstein, discussing various academic and intellectual topics as well as their views on political developments in the U.S.

Peggy Siegal

Epstein consulted publicist Peggy Siegal during the crisis surrounding his scandals, seeking her assistance in managing public perception and discrediting accusations against him.

As the new revelations continue to bubble to the surface, the implications of Epstein's extensive outreach to notable figures cast a long shadow over the relationships and reputations involved.
