EFTA01028064: Email Requesting Meeting With “Don Jr.”
Snapshot
EFTA01028064 and EFTA01028065 contain a two page email thread between an account displayed as “J” at jeevacation@gmail.com and Andrew L. Farkas. The thread is dated January 27, 2019.
In the earliest message, “J” asks Farkas whether they can have coffee with “don jr” on Thursday or Friday. Farkas replies that he will not be there and will send possible dates. “J” then says he will be back in New York on the 14th and 15th.
“Don Jr.” most likely refers to Donald Trump Jr., the public figure commonly known by that name, but the email does not spell out his full name. The thread documents an attempt to arrange a meeting. It does not establish that Donald Trump Jr. knew about the request, agreed to meet, communicated with Epstein, or attended a meeting.

Verified Email Text
The earliest visible message from “J” to Farkas states:
can we do a coffee with don jr thurs fri? , only if easy, as you know i like people that are funny
Farkas replies:
I won’t be here. Let me send you some dates.
The final visible response from “J” states:

Capitalization and punctuation follow the source. The quotations were checked against the rendered page rather than accepted solely from automated text extraction.
Chronology of the Thread
| Sequence | Displayed time | Message |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | January 27, 2019 at 10:38 AM | “J” asks Farkas about arranging coffee with “don jr” on Thursday or Friday |
| 2 | January 27, 2019, displayed in the quoted thread as 5:23 PM | Farkas says he will not be there and will send dates |
| 3 | January 27, 2019 at 16:27:38 UTC | “J” says he will be back in New York on the 14th and 15th |
The printed record contains inconsistent time displays. A separately produced copy of Farkas’s reply records a header time of 16:23:55 UTC, while the quotation inside EFTA01028064 displays 5:23 PM. The reply sequence is apparent from the nested messages, but precise time zone conversion requires the native email headers.
The phrase “14-15” most likely refers to dates in the following month, but the message does not state the month. It also does not identify a location for any proposed meeting beyond “J” saying he would be back in New York.
Evidence Appearances and Duplicate Productions
The same request and replies appear in several EFTA records. These are duplicate or overlapping productions of the communications, not evidence of multiple separate meeting requests.
| EFTA record | Data set | Material preserved |
|---|---|---|
| EFTA01028091 | 9 | Standalone copy of the initial coffee request |
| EFTA01028066 | 9 | Farkas’s reply quoting the initial request |
| EFTA01028064 and EFTA01028065 | 9 | Later reply from “J” containing the preceding exchange |
| EFTA02626930 | 11 | Another produced copy of the initial request |
| EFTA02626705 | 11 | Another produced copy of Farkas’s reply |
| EFTA02626666 | 11 | Another produced copy of the later thread |
The repeated copies strengthen confidence that the wording of the exchange was preserved consistently. They do not show that the proposed meeting occurred.
The Sender and the Epstein Account
The thread displays the sender as “J” using jeevacation@gmail.com. The footer states that the communication is the property of “JEE” and directs mistaken recipients to notify the same account. These internal features support identifying the account as associated with Jeffrey E. Epstein.
The public PDF is still a rendered email rather than a native mailbox record. It does not include complete routing headers, server records, or cryptographic authentication. The strongest supported wording is that the message was sent from an account displayed as “J” at an email address associated in the records with Epstein.
Andrew L. Farkas
The recipient is identified in the header as “Farkas, Andrew L.” His visible email address is redacted. His reply carries a BlackBerry Work signature and a disclaimer naming Island Capital Group LLC and its affiliates.
Farkas’s response does not say that he contacted “Don Jr.” or that he could arrange the meeting. He says only that he will not be there and will send dates. The later response from “J” supplies availability in New York, but the produced thread ends without a confirmed date, time, location, invitation, or acceptance.
Who Was “Don Jr.”?
The phrase “Don Jr.” is commonly used for Donald Trump Jr., and the date and social context make that identification plausible. Other records in the broader production also use “Don Jr.” when clearly discussing Donald Trump Jr.
However, EFTA01028064 does not contain a surname, email address, telephone number, title, employer, quoted message, or other unique identifier for the person. No message from Donald Trump Jr. appears in the thread.
EpsteinWiki therefore treats Donald Trump Jr. as the likely identification, not a conclusively authenticated identity established by this email alone.
What the Meeting Request Shows
The thread shows that the “J” account asked Farkas whether coffee with “Don Jr.” could be arranged. The wording “only if easy” suggests that Farkas was being asked to facilitate access rather than being told that a meeting was already scheduled.
Farkas’s response shows that he engaged with the scheduling request, but it does not show that he accepted the role of intermediary or contacted the unnamed person. His promise to send dates may refer to his own availability, not the availability of “Don Jr.”
The final message about being in New York on the 14th and 15th indicates continued scheduling discussion. The record stops before any outcome is documented.
Evidence Ledger
| Evidence item | Classification | What it supports | Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial message from “J” | Verified document text | The account asked Farkas about coffee with “don jr” | It does not identify “Don Jr.” by full name |
| Farkas reply | Verified document text | Farkas said he was unavailable and would send dates | It does not confirm that he contacted the proposed guest |
| New York availability message | Verified document text | “J” reported being back in New York on the 14th and 15th | The month and purpose are not expressly stated |
| jeevacation@gmail.com and “JEE” footer | Verified document text | The sender account is associated within the record with JEE | Native authentication data is absent |
| Island Capital Group disclaimer | Verified document text | The recipient’s reply used an Island Capital Group business disclaimer | It does not establish that the proposed meeting concerned company business |
| Repeated EFTA copies | Verified production pattern | The same exchange was produced more than once across Data Sets 9 and 11 | Repetition does not prove a meeting occurred |
| Donald Trump Jr. identification | Supported inference | “Don Jr.” likely refers to Donald Trump Jr. | The email does not provide a full name or direct identifier |
What the Record Establishes
The records establish that:
- On January 27, 2019, an account displayed as “J” at jeevacation@gmail.com asked Andrew L. Farkas about arranging coffee with someone called “don jr.”
- The sender added that the meeting should occur only if it was easy to arrange and commented that he liked funny people.
- Farkas said he would not be present and would send dates.
- “J” replied that he would be back in New York on the 14th and 15th.
- The exchange was produced in multiple overlapping EFTA records across Data Sets 9 and 11.
What the Record Does Not Establish
The records do not establish:
- With absolute certainty that “Don Jr.” was Donald Trump Jr.
- That Donald Trump Jr. knew about the request
- That Farkas contacted Donald Trump Jr. or anyone acting for him
- That Donald Trump Jr. agreed to meet
- That a meeting was scheduled or occurred
- The purpose of the proposed coffee
- The intended Thursday or Friday dates
- The month represented by “14-15”
- A meeting location
- Any direct communication between Epstein and Donald Trump Jr.
- Any criminal conduct, civil liability, or knowledge of Epstein’s crimes by Farkas or Donald Trump Jr.
A request for access is not proof of access, contact, friendship, participation, or wrongdoing.
Provenance and Chain of Custody Limits
The records are PDF renderings of email content. They contain production identifiers and repeated copies, but they do not provide all technical data needed for complete authentication.
Missing information includes:
- Complete internet routing headers
- Original Message IDs
- Native mailbox files
- Server delivery logs
- Cryptographic hash values for the original messages
- Unredacted recipient address
- The source mailbox and acquisition method
- Records showing whether the proposed guest was contacted
- Calendar entries or visitor records confirming a meeting
The duplicate copies help verify the wording and structure of the conversation. Native files would still be required to resolve time zone inconsistencies and establish full technical provenance.
Why This Record Matters
The exchange documents Epstein’s apparent effort in January 2019 to use an intermediary to seek a meeting with a person he called “Don Jr.” This occurred months before Epstein’s July 2019 federal arrest.
The record may be relevant to mapping attempted social access and intermediary relationships. Its evidentiary value is narrow: it shows a request and a scheduling exchange with Farkas. It does not document a completed introduction or meeting.
The duplicate productions are also important because they demonstrate how one communication can appear under several EFTA numbers. Researchers should consolidate these copies rather than count each appearance as a separate event.
