Who is Mark Steward in the Epstein files?

He is a senior official at the UK Financial Conduct Authority, based on his fca.org.uk email address. He appears in 13 emails from 28 November 2019, in a "Confidential & Urgent" thread with staff of a US Attorney's Office (USANYS). The thread appears to be about setting up a call. Outside this one thread he does not appear in the archive.

Do the documents show Mark Steward had a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?

No. The emails are between FCA staff and US prosecutors' office staff, not with Epstein. The archive links Steward to Epstein through 8 shared documents, but the visible email text does not show any dealings between them. It also does not say why the regulator and prosecutors were in contact.

What was the "Confidential & Urgent" email thread about?

The files do not say. The visible text covers only arranging a conversation. Participants on the US side are redacted or garbled in the files, and the topic of the call is not stated in the portions shown. Readers should not assume more than that.

Who else was on the emails with Mark Steward?

The FCA colleagues Kate Tuckley, Kelly Eldred and Harry Caldecott are copied on the thread. The US participants are listed only as "(USANYS)," meaning a US Attorney's Office in New York, and their names are redacted or unreadable in the files.

Watch: Mark Steward in the Epstein files

1:04

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

Mark Steward appears in 13 emails in the files. All are professional correspondence between him and colleagues at the UK Financial Conduct Authority (fca.org.uk) and staff of a US Attorney's Office, listed as "USANYS" (the Southern District of New York). The thread, dated 28 November 2019, has the subject line "Confidential & Urgent." It appears to be about arranging a call.

Steward sends, receives or is copied on all 13 emails. They are all in the same thread, copied across several documents. He writes to the US prosecutors' office, and they write back to him. Kate Tuckley, Kelly Eldred and Harry Caldecott, who also have FCA addresses, are copied throughout. The visible text is logistical: one email asks the US side "what number to call you on?" and another comes from Steward at 12:59 PM on 28 November 2019. The names of the US-side participants are redacted or garbled in the files, and the substance of the matter is not visible. The files do not mention Epstein in the text of these emails. The link to Epstein comes from the archive's connection data, which shows 8 shared documents.

Key Highlights

•All 13 documents are emails, and in every one Steward is in the From, To or Cc header. This is direct correspondence, not a passing mention.
•The thread is dated 28 November 2019, with messages timed between about 12:59 PM and 3:57 PM, and is headed "Confidential & Urgent." It is between the UK Financial Conduct Authority and a US Attorney's Office (USANYS).
•The same group of FCA colleagues is copied throughout: Kate Tuckley (13 shared documents), Harry Caldecott (10) and Kelly Eldred, who is listed as Caldecott's personal assistant.
•The visible content is scheduling, such as asking for a phone number to reach the US counterparts. The files give no indication of what the call was about.
•The archive has no legal, financial, travel or other substantive records for Steward, and none showing a personal relationship with Epstein. The emails show regulator-to-prosecutor contact.
