Who is Claudia in the Epstein files?

Most often it is Claudia Leschuck, Senior Assistant to Nathan Myhrvold at Intellectual Ventures. Her emails with Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff, mostly from 2013 to 2016, set up meetings and visits between Epstein and Myhrvold. Some other mentions of 'Claudia' refer to different people with the same first name.

What did Claudia Leschuck do in her emails with Epstein's office?

She handled scheduling and logistics. She replied to Lesley Groff's requests for Myhrvold's availability in New York and Seattle, sent directions to the Intellectual Ventures lab, and hosted a June 2014 visit by Epstein and his staff. She also coordinated a 2016 book shipment and was asked about contact details for Ariane de Rothschild. The emails read as routine assistant work, and the files show no wrongdoing on her part.

Does the 'CLAUDIA' on the 1994 flight manifests refer to Claudia Leschuck?

The files give no basis for that. Two manifest pages from January 1994 list only the first name 'CLAUDIA', with no surname or other detail. Leschuck's emails date from 2013 to 2016 and describe her as a business assistant. Nothing links her to those early flights.

Is Claudia Leschuck accused of anything in the documents?

No. The documents show her in an administrative role, passing along meeting requests and arranging visits for her employer. Being named in the archive is not evidence of misconduct.

Watch: Claudia in the Epstein files

1:12

Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.

In the files, 'Claudia' mostly means Claudia Leschuck, Senior Assistant to Nathan Myhrvold at Intellectual Ventures. She handled scheduling between Myhrvold and Jeffrey Epstein, mainly through Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff. The name also appears for several unrelated people, so not every 'Claudia' is her.

The strongest material is direct email. Leschuck is in the From/To/Cc header of 229 emails, which are mostly 2013–2016 exchanges with Lesley Groff about getting Epstein time with Myhrvold in New York and Seattle. She also arranged visits to the Intellectual Ventures lab, sent directions and, in 2016, coordinated a shipment of books. Epstein's own schedules also list '(Claudia, Nathan's assistant)' beside Myhrvold appointments in April 2015. Beyond Leschuck, the bare name 'Claudia' shows up in unrelated places, including a 1994 flight manifest entry, a legal filing, chat logs about modeling or assistant recruitment, a donor list, and a magazine piece naming Claudia Schiffer. The files do not link these to her.

Key Highlights

•Claudia Leschuck signs her emails as 'Sr. Assistant to Nathan Myhrvold' and appears in 229 emails as sender, recipient or Cc. Most are scheduling exchanges with Lesley Groff, Epstein's assistant.
•Her emails cover Epstein's requests to meet Myhrvold: a Seattle visit around August 9, 2013, a New York visit in November 2014, and a lab visit on June 3, 2014. In one email she writes that she looks forward to 'hosting Jeffrey and his assistant(s) tomorrow'. In another (June 2014) she thanks Groff for arranging the visit and says it was an enjoyable one.
•In March 2014 Groff told her that Epstein could not come to the lab after all. In November 2014 she told Groff that Myhrvold would be in New York but that she was blocking one day for a possible overnight trip outside the city.
•Epstein's April 2015 itinerary lists a 4:00pm 'Appt w/Nathan Myhrvold' with '(Claudia, Nathan's assistant)' noted, and a similar note beside a lunch entry that may include Myhrvold. This ties her to the appointments themselves, not just the emails.
•In February–March 2016 she and Groff traded emails about a shipment of books, including a note that the books 'successfully cleared the Customs obstacle and were delivered', and about contact details for Ariane de Rothschild, with Myhrvold copied.
•Her role in the emails is administrative. She relays logistics between two offices. The files do not show her taking part in any wrongdoing.
•Several other people named Claudia appear in the files and should not be confused with her. They include a Claudia in a legal filing about a damaged-property dispute, a 'Claudia' agent mentioned in chat logs about assistant jobs, Claudia Schiffer in a magazine article, Claudia B. Manoogian on a name list, and a single-word 'CLAUDIA' on two January 1994 flight manifest pages.
