Who is Nina Keita in the Epstein files?

She is a recurring contact of Jeffrey Epstein, described as a niece of Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara. She appears in 244 documents, mostly emails. They include direct correspondence with Epstein and Lesley Groff, schedule entries for meetings at his New York home, a 2004 flight manifest, and two financial schedules that list her under Loans Receivable.

Did Nina Keita receive money from Jeffrey Epstein?

Two investment schedules list "Nina Keita" under "Loans Receivable," with 100,000 in one version and 150,000 in another. The files shown do not state who made the loan, why, on what terms, or whether it was repaid, so the entries should not be read as more than a ledger listing.

What was the relationship with her uncle, President Ouattara?

The emails show Epstein's office repeatedly connecting through her to her family. In June 2012, Groff wrote that Epstein understood her uncle was in Paris, and Nina said she would email her uncle to ask whether he could meet. Epstein replied that he was welcome at his house. A schedule from that month also lists a meeting with Nina and her cousin Dramane Ouattara. The files do not show whether the president met Epstein.

How often did she meet or correspond with Epstein?

The files show contact from 2011 through December 2017. They include scheduled meetings in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016 and 2017, and direct emails with Epstein in 2015. The emails are mostly logistical, such as setting times, giving addresses and arranging phone calls, and say little about what was discussed.

Niece of Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara, named in Epstein documents

Watch: Nina Keita in the Epstein files

1:11

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

Nina Keita, described as a niece of Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara, appears in the files as a recurring contact of Jeffrey Epstein from at least 2011 to 2017. The files include direct emails with Epstein and his assistant Lesley Groff, many calendar entries for meetings, a 2004 flight manifest entry, and two financial schedules that list her under "Loans Receivable."

The clearest evidence is direct correspondence: 19 emails have her in the From/To/Cc header. These are mostly scheduling messages with Lesley Groff, plus some emails exchanged directly with Epstein in 2015. Her name also appears in Epstein's daily schedules and appointment lists, usually as a meeting at his New York home. A flight manifest dated 2004-02-12 lists her, and two investment schedules list "Nina Keita" under Loans Receivable with 100,000 and 150,000. Most of the 244 documents are emails, many of them repeated or forwarded schedule messages. Only 5 are substantive non-email records.

Key Highlights

•Two investment schedules list "Nina Keita" under "Loans Receivable" with 100,000 in one version and 150,000 in another, alongside other names such as Mark Lloyd, Nick Ribis and Larry / Eileen Visoski. The files shown do not explain the terms of the loan or whether it was repaid.
•A flight manifest dated February 12, 2004 lists Nina Keita. It is the only dated document in the archive for her.
•Epstein and Lesley Groff arranged many meetings with her. Examples are December 12, 2011 at 10:30, March 2012 at 11:00, a 6:00 appointment in January, March 15, 2017 at 11:00, and December 7, 2017 at 9:15am. Groff's emails also give her Epstein's address, 9 East 71st Street.
•In June 2012 Groff's emails say Nina Keita would ask her uncle whether he was available to meet. Epstein replied that he was "welcome to come to my house for lunch, drink or dinner." A June 18, 2012 schedule also lists a 3:00 appointment with Nina Keita and her cousin Dramane Ouattara and his wife Louise.
•In 2015 she emailed Epstein directly. On June 2 she wrote "Hello Jeffrey" and asked him to try a South African number after he said he had tried both numbers he had. On June 3 she asked "Do you know Bob Diamond?" On October 26 she asked to talk with him that day or the next.
•Her closest connections in the archive are Epstein (224 shared documents) and Lesley Groff (88), which fits a relationship handled mostly through his office.
