'Yes, it’s real': Bombshell Epstein email appears to undercut Trump's story (www.rawstory.com)

The email in question was sent to William Riley – who appeared to have been “hired by Epstein to investigate his victims,” the British outlet The Times reported – on April 18, 2011, and references what appears to be a planned call with Trump.

“Before I call Trump. with regard Virginia are there any other alternatives,” Epstein wrote just after midnight.

Epstein’s reference to someone named “Virginia” is speculated to be a reference to Virginia Giuffre, among the most prominent victims of Epstein.

Last summer, Trump made the startling admission that Epstein “stole” Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. It was Epstein’s repeated poaching of workers from Mar-a-Lago, Trump has previously claimed, that led to him cutting off all ties with the disgraced financier sometime around 2004. Trump also said he hadn’t spoken to Epstein since that falling out.

However, were Epstein and Trump to have had a phone call in 2011 as Epstein’s email to Riley indicates, Trump’s claim to have not spoken to Epstein since around 2004 would be proven to be blatantly false.

I would have done that throughout but there's a specific request on so many posts in this community to add links to the actual corpus that I stayed with EFTA links, instead giving the overall link to the William Riley emails at the very top for those who want Jmail since they're all visually grouped once you know the date range.

In this case linking Jmail would have saved me a step because that's what I was working from. For emails and seeing email chains in roughly chronological order, nothing beats Jmail.

But there would still have been the issue of the defunct EFTA link for anyone who wanted to see the original, so I guess it's pretty much the same either way. At least with Jmail I could easily see that there were three duplicates for that email and pick another EFTA link that pointed to the same content, which is something that disappears easily on the DoJ site: the more hits you get on DoJ, the more readily duplicates and significant patterns disappear in the noise.
