American FBI agent and convicted criminal
John Connolly appears in 26 mentions across 25 documents as a journalist and co-author of the book 'Filthy Rich' about Jeffrey Epstein. The documents show him conducting interviews and research for the book, which was published under James Patterson's name.
Connolly appears primarily in emails and book excerpts from 2016-2017 related to his investigative work on Epstein. Several documents reference him as a 'tough, no-nonsense journalist who had once been a cop with the NYPD' who partnered with James Patterson and Tim Malloy on the Epstein book. Multiple emails show people warning Epstein that Connolly was calling to interview sources about Epstein's relationship with media figures. Some documents suggest controversy around whether Connolly or Patterson was the actual primary author of the book.
