Who is Justin Nelson in the Epstein files?

He is a J.P. Morgan banker named on 2013 statements for Epstein-linked accounts such as the Haze Trust and Southern Trust Company. In the emails his address is at jpmorgan.com. The files show him mainly meeting and corresponding with Epstein through Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff, who set up meetings from 2014 to 2017.

What do the emails between Justin Nelson and Lesley Groff say?

They are short logistics messages: confirming meeting times, moving appointments around Epstein's travel, and checking Nelson's availability. Examples include a 22 July 2014 exchange settling on 9am at Epstein's home, a 2015 thread fixing a meeting for 29 September at 3pm, and February 2017 messages about meeting when Epstein was due in New York. The emails shown do not discuss account details or any wrongdoing.

Did Justin Nelson meet with Jeffrey Epstein?

Epstein's calendars list appointments with Justin Nelson in May 2014, May 2015, September 2015, November 2015 and December 2015. One entry places him at a J.P. Morgan meeting with Tom McGraw. The emails also discuss meetings and calls in 2014, 2016 and 2017. The files record scheduled meetings but not what was said.

Does the archive accuse Justin Nelson of wrongdoing?

No. The documents show him in a professional role as a bank relationship manager. They do not allege that he did anything improper, and appearing in the files does not imply that he did.

Why does Nelson appear in so many documents?

Mostly because his name is printed on recurring J.P. Morgan account statements and repeated in email threads, where each reply quotes earlier messages. Both inflate the count. Only 42 emails have him in the From/To/Cc header, and around 140 of the 711 documents are substantive non-email records such as financial statements, investment records and calendars.

Watch: Justin Nelson in the Epstein files

1:10

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

Justin Nelson appears in the files as a J.P. Morgan private banker listed on Epstein-linked account statements. He also appears in dozens of scheduling emails with Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff and in Epstein's calendars, which record meetings with him from 2014 to 2017.

The clearest appearances are 42 emails with Nelson in the From/To/Cc header, nearly all with Lesley Groff, who arranged meetings between him and Jeffrey Epstein between 2014 and 2017. His name also appears in the "J.P. Morgan Team" block, as Banker, on 2013 statements for the Haze Trust and Southern Trust Company accounts. Epstein's schedules list appointments with "Justin Nelson" in 2014 and 2015, including a 1:00 meeting with Tom McGraw at J.P. Morgan's 71st Street office. Most of the 711 documents are emails (536), with the rest mainly financial and investment records. Nothing in the documents shown describes anything beyond a professional banking relationship.

Key Highlights

•Account statements for the Haze Trust (August 2013) and Southern Trust Company (July–October 2013) list Justin Nelson on the J.P. Morgan team with the title Banker. Other team members named include Paul Barrett, Janet Young, Gina Magliocco, Jason Grosse and, on some statements, William Sheridan.
•42 emails have Nelson in the header. Lesley Groff wrote most of them, with subjects like "Jeffrey Epstein", "Meeting: Justin & Jeffrey" and "Jeffrey Epstein/Zorro Ranch". They cover scheduling and rescheduling, and run from July 2014 to February 2017.
•Epstein's calendars record appointments with Nelson on dates including 6 May 2015, 29 September 2015 (3:00pm), 19 November 2015 (8:00am), and in December 2015, when he came with a colleague named Carolyn Reers. A May 2014 entry notes that Nelson was asked to join a meeting that included Darren Indyke and several advisers.
•On 30 September 2015, Groff emailed Nelson to reconfirm a 2pm meeting with Epstein, one day after the calendar's 29 September entry. Both the calendars and the emails suggest an ongoing, regular client–banker relationship.
•Groff was still contacting him in January and February 2017, including about Epstein's travel dates. The files show the contact continuing into 2017.
•The 711 documents are mostly emails (536) plus financial and investment records (136). Many of the statement hits are repeated copies of the same J.P. Morgan team listing, so the count says little about how often he and Epstein dealt with each other.
