Watch: St. Petersburg in the Epstein files
1:15Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
St. Petersburg, Russia appears in the files mainly in travel records. These include American Express-style airline itineraries from 2018–2019, a 2012 itinerary with a stay at the Hotel Astoria for the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, and a 2013 email in which Lesley Groff confirms a one-way ticket to the city. The name is also often the Florida city of the same name, which turns up in legal citations, mailing addresses and advertising.
The strongest material is travel-related. Of the 355 documents that mention St. Petersburg, 32 are travel records and 7 are financial records. The travel records include many Aeroflot, Lufthansa, Ural Airlines and other flight itineraries from 2018 and 2019 that route to or from St. Petersburg, mostly via Paris. A 2013 email thread has Lesley Groff checking with Jeffrey Epstein that a June 1 ticket "is to St. Petersburg, one way, no return," and Epstein answers "yes." Most of the 270 emails are incidental: a CNBC newsletter sent to Epstein's own Yahoo account mentioning a Putin meeting in St. Petersburg, political fundraising emails about rallies in the Florida city, and similar items. None of the emails has St. Petersburg in a From/To/Cc header, which is expected for a place.
Key Highlights
- •A May 2013 email thread shows Lesley Groff confirming with Jeffrey Epstein that a June 1 ticket is to St. Petersburg, one way with no return. Epstein replies "yes." The passage doesn't say who the traveler is.
- •A 2012 itinerary lists a flight from Luton to Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg, a car arranged through Jet Aviation, and Hotel Astoria for June 20–21, 2012. It is tied to the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. It is headed by a Christie's dinner and a pickup at Claridge's for someone identified as "LDB."
- •Many 2018–2019 flight itineraries charged to American Express route through St. Petersburg. Examples are Aeroflot flights between St. Petersburg and Paris-De Gaulle, a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt, a Ural Airlines flight from Tel Aviv, and a Baltic flight from Riga. The passenger names are not legible in the passages reviewed, so these records do not show who flew.
- •Several financial records contain a sample Russian tourist invitation form. It lists "Moscow, St. Petersburg" as cities to visit, with an April–July 2013 stay and the documents to be sent to Washington. This is visa paperwork for Russian travel.
- •An email from an unidentified sender, whose full message is not shown, mentions being in Munich on Saturday, then "St. Petersburg and Moscow with Eike Sunday-Tuesday," followed by London.
- •A 2019 chat log in the archive says someone "supposed to be in St. Petersburg now, visiting friend." The context is not clear.
- •Many other mentions are the Florida city, not the Russian one. They include court citations such as City of St. Petersburg v. Haughton, a Verizon billing address, a reflexology institute's address, tourism advertising, and news items about an ISIS-related complaint reported by a St. Petersburg, FL TV station.
