What Is This Record?
EFTA00087956 is a one page scan containing handwritten names and notes. The printed words “Jeffrey E. Epstein” and the EFTA identifier appear near the bottom of the page. Handwritten headings divide parts of the page into categories. The list includes names that are legible, first names or initials only, and words whose spelling is uncertain.
The page does not identify its author, creation date, intended audience, source of the names, or purpose. It does not say that the people named were investigated, accused, interviewed, donors, recipients, associates, witnesses, or participants in any particular event. The category labels are reproduced as written, with uncertain readings marked.
Source and Provenance
The primary record is the one page PDF scan linked through Epstein Data. The Epstein Data page identifies the document as part of DOJ Data Set 9 and provides a link to the corresponding file in the Department of Justice Epstein Library. The page also lists EFTA00038379 and EFTA01325170 as related documents. That database cross reference does not, by itself, establish that the records describe the same people or events.
The visible page carries no date, author name, agency heading, case number, Bates range, or explanation of how the notes were compiled. No chain of custody details beyond the EFTA release context are stated here.

What the Record Contains
The page is arranged as a handwritten list. The visible headings are “Law Enforcement,” “Charity Recipients,” “Politicians,” “Business,” “House Staff,” “Religious People,” and “Academics.” One separate handwritten line below “House Staff” appears to refer to a sheriff, Acosta, and a governor’s letter, but parts of the wording are uncertain.
The lists below preserve the wording visible on the page. They do not resolve partial names into full identities. Question marks and explanatory brackets mark uncertain handwriting or incomplete entries. “Gov. Richardson” is transcribed as written and is not expanded to a full name in the source transcription.
Law Enforcement
- “Lew” or “Long Cuomo” [uncertain reading]
- Dave Christopher
- Carol Montgomery
- Gloria Lambert
- “Richie” [surname unclear; nearby words appear to refer to a lawyer]
- “Tommy’s friend” [a description, not a complete name]
- “L. Case” [uncertain reading]
- “Jim Pasca” [spelling uncertain]
Charity Recipients
- Philip Diaz
- Alfredo [given name only]
- Steve [given name only]
- “Security” [the nearby handwritten notation is unclear and may not be a person’s name]
Politicians
- Peter Mandelson
- “Gov. Richardson” [written as a title and surname only]
- “Cecile” [surname unclear]
- “Sheriff, New Mexico” [handwritten annotation; meaning and placement are uncertain]
Business
- “Jess” [incomplete name]
- “Leon” [incomplete name]
- “Mort Zuckerman” [handwriting appears to read this]
- “Glen D.” [surname not written out]
House Staff
- K.B.
- L.M. [initials uncertain]
- L.J.
- “Rich” [first name or nickname only]
- A short area before the initials has been scribbled over and cannot be read.
Religious People
The heading is visible, but no names are legible beneath it on this page.
Academics
- Henry Rosovsky
- Lawrence Krauss
- Howard Gardner
- Seth Low
- “Lee Swolin” [handwriting appears to read this; possibly Lee Smolin, but the page does not make the spelling certain]
- Richard Axel
- “J. Adelman” [initial and surname reading uncertain]
- “Murray Gellman” [handwritten spelling; possibly intended to read Murray Gell-Mann]
Other Handwritten Note
A line between “House Staff” and “Religious People” includes the readable word “Acosta.” The surrounding text appears to include “the Sheriff” and “Governor … letter,” but the exact wording and the governor’s name are unclear. It is not treated as a complete name or reliable statement.
The page also has a blue handwritten mark near the bottom right. It is not legible enough to transcribe as a name.
Key Evidence Points
- The source is a single page, and its printed footer identifies “Jeffrey E. Epstein” and EFTA00087956.
- The writer used category headings, including law enforcement, charity recipients, politicians, business, house staff, religious people, and academics.
- The page lists Peter Mandelson, “Gov. Richardson,” Philip Diaz, Lawrence Krauss, Howard Gardner, Richard Axel, and other names or partial names.
- Several entries consist only of a first name, initials, a surname initial, or uncertain handwriting.
- The record gives no explanation for the categories and does not establish any person’s conduct, knowledge, role, or relationship to Epstein.
What the Record Does and Does Not Prove
What it establishes: The page contains handwritten categories and names or partial names, including those transcribed above. It is identified as EFTA00087956 and bears printed text identifying Jeffrey E. Epstein.
What it does not establish: The page does not establish why the names were written, who wrote them, whether the categories are accurate, whether any person was a charity recipient, law enforcement officer, politician, business contact, household employee, religious figure, or academic, or whether any named person knew about or participated in Epstein’s crimes. A name or title on a handwritten list does not prove a meeting, donation, relationship, knowledge, or wrongdoing.
Unresolved questions: The author, date, purpose, source of the names, meaning of the categories, intended audience, and relation of the notes to any investigation are unknown. Several names and phrases require better image review or independent corroboration before their spelling or identity can be stated with confidence.
People and Entities Appearing in the Record
The names are presented above exactly as they can be read or cautiously interpreted from the page. Full identities are not assigned to partial entries such as “Alfredo,” “Steve,” “Jess,” “Leon,” “Rich,” or “Glen D.” The initials under “House Staff” are not expanded. This page alone does not establish that anyone listed held the role suggested by a category label.
Timeline Significance
The page has no visible date, so it cannot be placed reliably in a chronology. The date of its release under an EFTA number is separate from the unknown date when the handwritten notes were created.
Related Evidence
- EFTA00038379 is listed by Epstein Data as a related document. Its relationship to this page has not been established here.
- EFTA01325170 is listed by Epstein Data as a related document. Its relationship to this page has not been established here.
Reliability and Limitations
The one page PDF scan was visually reviewed. Some handwriting is legible, while other entries are incomplete, scribbled over, or ambiguous. This article distinguishes clear readings from uncertain transcriptions and does not expand initials or partial names into full identities.
The page’s appearance in the DOJ Epstein Library establishes its presence in the public release. It does not independently authenticate the author’s identity, the truth of the categories, or the accuracy of any underlying information. No date, case number, explanatory cover sheet, or supporting document is visible on this page.
Survivor Safety and Privacy Review
The page includes names and partial names but no legible survivor identity is identified in this transcription. Uncertain or incomplete entries are not expanded. The page should not be used to infer that a person is a survivor, witness, suspect, or wrongdoer.
Why This Record Matters
EFTA00087956 offers a snapshot of names and topics that someone organized on a handwritten page associated with Jeffrey E. Epstein. Its research value lies in the categories and names as written, and in the questions they raise about the notes’ source and purpose. It is a lead for comparison with independently documented records, not proof that any listed person had a particular role or engaged in wrongdoing.
