The files do not show her in extended one-on-one exchanges with him.

What kinds of things did she handle?

No. The documents show routine administrative work for a publicist's office. Her name appears in the files because of her role in managing Siegal's communications. Her presence in the archive says nothing about her knowledge of or involvement in anything improper.

Watch: Rebecca Drescher in the Epstein files

1:09

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

Rebecca Drescher appears to have been an assistant at publicist Peggy Siegal's firm. In 2016–2017 she handled scheduling and logistics between Siegal's office and Jeffrey Epstein's office, mostly with Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff. The files show routine professional coordination and nothing more.

All but one of the 239 documents are emails, and she is in the From/To/Cc header of 154 of them. Most are short exchanges with Lesley Groff arranging phone calls between Peggy Siegal and Epstein, confirming whether Siegal was free, and passing along event invitations. The one non-email record is a contact-card entry for her name. She is often copied on Siegal's emails to Epstein, which is why her name is tied so closely to Siegal (223 shared documents) and Epstein (216).

Key Highlights

•Scheduling calls was her most common task. In emails from March to October 2017 she told Lesley Groff when Siegal was free to speak with Epstein, for example 'Peggy is avail now to speak with Jeffrey' (October 12, 2017). She also confirmed afterward that calls had happened ('They spoke').
•In a May 22, 2017 exchange she told Groff that Siegal was in Cannes between screenings and asked which number to use to reach Epstein. Groff replied that his cell would be best.
•She was copied on November 2016 emails about the IFP Gotham Awards, where Siegal said Epstein had agreed to help the awards again. She was also copied on a November 2017 email about Epstein's chair support for the 2017 awards.
•She relayed invitations and event details between Siegal's office and Epstein's. These included a Chaplin Awards Gala in May 2017, an Elton John dinner in London on June 22, 2017, and a 70th birthday dinner in Southampton in summer 2017. Richard Kahn was copied on the Southampton thread.
•She was copied on an October 31, 2016 thread about a new intern for Siegal's office and meeting times, which Epstein forwarded.
•In a September 2017 thread Siegal asked her to send Epstein the name of a film screening.
•The records show her as a go-between on logistics. They contain no flight logs, legal filings, financial records or other substantive non-email records.
