Watch: Mark Cohen in the Epstein files
1:15Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
In the files, Mark Cohen is a New York defense attorney at Cohen & Gresser LLP who represented Ghislaine Maxwell in her federal criminal case (20 Cr. 330). Most of his 140 appearances are prosecutors' letters addressed to the defense team and jail-access emails from 2020 and 2021. The "American neuroscientist" label does not match how he appears in these documents.
The files name him as co-counsel with Christian Everdell for Maxwell. A July 2020 Pretrial Services email chain describes Cohen and Everdell as "two attorneys representing defendant Ghislaine Maxwell in case number 20 Cr. 330." Separate emails ask that her "two New York attorneys—Chris Everdell and Mark Cohen" be added to the list of people Maxwell can call. Dozens of Southern District of New York letters from October 2020 to November 2021 are addressed to him, alongside Everdell and the Colorado firm Haddon, Morgan and Foreman and other defense lawyers. These look like routine discovery and case-management correspondence. Another group of emails repeats a forwarded March 4, 2011 message headed "FW: Ghislaine Maxwell," sent from a "Mark Cohen" to Maxwell's address and passed on to Epstein. The excerpts don't say which Mark Cohen sent it or what the full message says.
Key Highlights
- •Mark Cohen appears as one of Ghislaine Maxwell's New York defense attorneys at Cohen & Gresser LLP (800 Third Avenue), working alongside Christian Everdell. The files show this in Pretrial Services emails (July 2020) and in many prosecution letters.
- •About 105 of his 140 documents are legal, government or financial records. Most are SDNY prosecution letters addressed to the Maxwell defense team between October 2020 and November 2021, and they show him as a recipient of case correspondence.
- •In July 2020, defense counsel asked jail and Pretrial Services officials to add Everdell and Cohen to the list of people Maxwell could speak with by phone.
- •A March 4, 2011 email titled "FW: Ghislaine Maxwell" from a "Mark Cohen" was forwarded by Maxwell to Jeffrey Epstein. It recurs across many copies, which accounts for most of his 12 direct-correspondence emails. The files do not clearly establish that this is the same person as the defense attorney.
- •His high shared-document counts with Maxwell, Epstein, Prince Andrew and Everdell mostly reflect co-appearance in the same legal and discovery documents. They are not evidence of a personal relationship with Epstein or the others.
- •The "neuroscientist" description does not match anything in the files, which show a lawyer. It likely refers to a different person with the same name.
