The files identify Bruce Barke as a sender of emails about proposed schedules and a separate message about “new mcc problems.” The archive contains four documents mentioning him, including three emails where he appears in the sender or recipient fields; these records show professional correspondence, but do not by themselves establish a personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

The clearest connection is direct email correspondence: Barke sent a September 20, 2019 message with the subject “proposed schedule,” copied to Tony Ricco and Michael Bachrach, and a January 16, 2020 message titled “New mcc problems.” The archive records four documents in total, three emails and one other record, with no substantive legal, government, financial, travel, investigation, medical, or calendar records attributed to him. Search results did not identify a Wikipedia biography for Bruce Barke; news coverage identifies Bruce Barket as an attorney for Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, but the files label this entity Bruce Barke, so the names should not be assumed to refer to the same person.
