Email Chain: Netflix Documentary Series on Jeffrey Epstein (File 017827)
Email correspondence discussing a four-hour Netflix documentary series about Jeffrey Epstein, involving journalist Tim Malloy, James Patterson, director Joe Berlinger, and publicist Peggy Siegal.
Summary
In April 2019, journalist Tim Malloy and James Patterson reached out to Peggy Siegal regarding their involvement in a Netflix documentary series about Jeffrey Epstein. Malloy explains they are consulting on the project alongside showrunner Lisa Bryant and director Joe Berlinger, seeking Siegal's input given her public relations expertise and acquaintance with Epstein. The email chain shows Siegal forwarding the inquiry to Epstein himself, with subsequent discussion between Siegal and Steve Bannon about the credibility and involvement of key figures like Patterson and Berlinger.
