Mbabane, Eswatini – An email address used by the late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein states that he [Epstein] turned down a wedding invitation to the Kingdom of Eswatini.

“Kano guys sounds fun, I had been invited to Swaziland [now Eswatini] marriage parade but thought better of it — though I did want to go…,” the email sent to Jide Zeitlin on Monday 21 May 2018 partly reads.

This is contained in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) website where the official repository on Epstein Files was released through the Epstein Files Transparency Act. 

The January 30th, 2026 release is considered the largest and most recent data since December 2025, containing an addition of 3 million pages, 2,000 videos, and 180,000 images, bringing the total to nearly 3.5 million pages.
