\n

Leading Washington strategist Juleanna Glover publicly argued<\/u><\/a> for a third-party presidential candidate halfway through Donald Trump\u2019s first term, calling for a \u201cmorally lucid\u201d leader akin to abolitionist Abraham Lincoln.<\/p>\n

At the same time, she was privately trading emails with Jeffrey Epstein \u2014 a decade after he went to jail on child prostitution charges \u2014 to share possible presidential tickets \u201coutside the partisan lanes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glover even offered some \u201cradical combinations\u201d in an August 2018 email to a group of \u201cthird party thinkers\u201d she then forwarded to Epstein<\/a> via his now infamous address jeevacation@gmail.com. Her list of dream tickets mixed and matched figures like former Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg, former Republican Govs. Larry Hogan of Maryland and Nikki Haley of South Carolina, and Microsoft tycoon Bill Gates, coincidentally an Epstein associate himself.<\/p>\n

Glover proposed: \u201cBiden\/Romney? Bill Gates\/Hogan? Bloomberg\/Haley? Howard Schultz\/Bob Corker? Sandberg\/Kasich?\u201d<\/p>\n

Their correspondence about centrist fantasy politics was only a small piece of a professional and political relationship that stretched across more than a year. Their workaday messages about third party campaigns, conversations that could have easily been with a well-regarded opinion columnist, underline the degree to which a large number of influential people treated Epstein as if he was just another rich guy to be courted rather than a convicted sex criminal with a troublesome reputation.<\/p>\n

Glover, who has<\/u><\/a> long been a leading Never Trump figure<\/u><\/a>, told Blue Light News in an interview that her motivation for engaging with Epstein was solely focused on unearthing any potential information that could sink Trump\u2019s reelection.<\/p>\n

Despite that claim, there are no emails between Glover and Epstein that show her soliciting information from him about Trump. While she referred Blue Light News to a fellow Never Trumper to corroborate that motivation, a second person involved in some of her interactions with Epstein at the time, said they were not aware of her approach. <\/p>\n

And in an interview, Glover acknowledged she had also asked Epstein for help in a business matter in 2017 involving her then-most prominent client, Elon Musk, and Saudi Arabia. In one Tesla-related email, Glover said that if Epstein was advising any sovereign wealth funds wanting to help \u201ca prominent company go private,\u201d she could help. In the second email to Glover, Epstein criticized Musk for not being \u201cfluent\u201d in how to deal with Middle Easterners\u2019 \u201cbluster\u201d and \u201cbloviating bragging\u201d after Saudi funding did not come through. <\/p>\n

Glover took a stab at helping reintroduce Epstein to parts of mainstream society and made a brief attempt to fashion him into a champion of democracy, arranging a meeting<\/u><\/a> with the head<\/u><\/a> of the nonprofit group Freedom House in 2017. And it wasn\u2019t just Glover advising Epstein \u2014 he also offered suggestions<\/u><\/a> on how to talk to New York Times reporters writing about<\/u><\/a> Musk\u2019s rumored drug use.<\/p>\n

Glover\u2019s and Epstein\u2019s relationship encompassed several dozen emails, two in-person meetings and a number of calls, according to a Blue Light News review of the Epstein files released by the Department of Justice. Her name returns 191 results in the files, although many mentions are duplicates.<\/p>\n

Glover characterized the relationship as a limited series of interactions comprised of 31 emails that she sent him, of which 12 dealt with logistics and 15 regarded Tesla. (The Tesla emails showed that Glover was leveraging the relationship with Epstein to help her client.) She said they had two meetings and three calls. She said the remaining were two emails on third party politics, one on MAGA stalwart Steve Bannon and the last connecting Epstein to a pro-democracy nonprofit. Glover said that he was never a client and she \u201cnever took anything of value from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their dynamic, catalogued here in full for the first time, further demonstrates the expansive reach of the late sex offender\u2019s connections across the political spectrum. His Rolodex ranged from moderate former Republicans like Glover to Bannon<\/u><\/a> and giants of the American left like Noam Chomsky<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glover, a former aide in the George W. Bush White House and an adviser to John McCain\u2019s presidential campaign, had by 2017 largely moved on from professional electoral politics and built a thriving practice as an adviser to executives and corporations seeking to navigate the media landscape. <\/p>\n

Her townhouse in Kalorama is a gathering place<\/u><\/a> for a wide array of D.C. operators, think tankers, campaign funders and journalists. She has built goodwill across the town and a thriving personal network in part with her willingness to host book parties, new job celebrations and more: Indeed \u2014 she was a co-host of an engagement party in 2023 for the author of this article, and has thrown book parties for multiple past and present Blue Light News reporters.<\/p>\n

Glover consulted for Axel Springer, Blue Light News\u2019s owner, several years ago, according to a company spokesperson.<\/p>\n

\u2018Captive\u2019 to Elon Musk<\/h4>\n

Glover came to know Epstein through another type of fixer who was also advising<\/u><\/a> him on PR strategies. The journalist Michael Wolff, a shared acquaintance of the two, first mentioned Glover to Epstein in March 2017 as she was consulting for Musk.<\/p>\n

\u201cI rolled the dice when Michael Wolff asked me to meet with Epstein against the backdrop of Epstein talking publicly about Trump,\u201d she said in a statement. \u201cMy interactions with Epstein were in service to that objective; not to help him in any way or improve his image. Wolff was seemingly positioning me as someone smart enough for him to take advice from.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo wit, I repeatedly steered Epstein to talk to top investigative journalists including Jim Stewart of the NY Times and Epstein eventually did so, ultimately talking to Stewart about writing his book. I never knew what Epstein was planning to say, but a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist almost found out,\u201d she said, referring to Stewart.<\/p>\n

At the time of her interactions with Epstein about Stewart, Musk\u2019s move to try to take Tesla private led to a Securities and Exchange Commission probe and rumors of drug use<\/u><\/a>. He needed all the communications help he could get.<\/p>\n

\u201c[T]here\u2019s a Washington PR type named Juleanna Glover with whom you might want to ch=t,\u201d Wolff wrote to Epstein<\/u><\/a> that spring. \u201cElon Musk basically owns her now and I\u2019m not sure she can take on o=her clients, but she will have a valuable perspective on how you get to wh=ere you want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two months later with the subject line \u201cMore PR,\u201d Wolff reminded Epstein that they had spoken about Glover, reupping the Musk connection.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s captive to him, so not hireable. But she\u2019s exceedingly smart and well connected and has interesting things to say,\u201d he wrote<\/u><\/a>. \u201cShe can offer an extremely informed overview on how to think about larger steps. Not so much about the trial per se, but going forward. Anyway she is in NYC on Thursday with some time if you wanted me to arrange a meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within an hour, Epstein wrote back<\/u><\/a>, \u201cYes please.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three days later, Epstein, Glover and Wolff had lunch together on a day that Epstein was set to have breakfast with private equity investor Leon Black and dinner with director Woody Allen and his wife Soon Yi Previn, according to his schedule<\/u><\/a>. (Black has been accused of sexual assault<\/u><\/a> by two women but has denied all allegations.)<\/p>\n

Wolff has written books critical of the president and in 2016 even told Epstein<\/u><\/a> \u201cyou\u2019re the Trump bullet\u201d to stop his rise given their former relationship. Last November, Wolff posted an Instagram video in which he said, \u201cThese two men, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, had the closest of relationships for more than a decade.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has said he wasn\u2019t involved in any of Epstein\u2019s criminal activity and that they had a falling out years ago. Epstein was once a frequent visitor at Mar-a-Lago and court records indicate that Trump flew at least once on one of Epstein\u2019s planes and his phone numbers were in Epstein\u2019s directory. There\u2019s no evidence to suggest Trump took part in Epstein\u2019s trafficking operation.<\/p>\n

Wolff said in a statement that he worked on an effort with Glover to get Trump to publicly respond to questions about his relationship with Epstein during the 2016 presidential campaign. Glover said that Wolff had called her in the fall of 2015 to try to have reporters ask Trump about Epstein. That\u2019s why Wolff emailed Epstein<\/u><\/a> that year regarding how Trump might handle questions about their shared history.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2017, I encouraged Juleanna to see Epstein in the hope that she might help convince him to go public about what he knew about Trump,\u201d he said. \u201cI believe she suggested to Epstein that Jim Stewart at the Times would be receptive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glover referred Blue Light News to an anti-Trump political consultant, Rick Wilson, with whom she had been in touch about Epstein in 2015, years before her correspondence with Epstein began.<\/p>\n

Wilson told Blue Light News that he and Glover had a phone call in the fall of 2015 to try to figure out if Epstein had any dirt on Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a great communicator, and that\u2019s why people seek her out, and that\u2019s why she was so valuable in this anti-Trump fight at the time,\u201d he said. \u201cShe was definitely in the pursuit of trying to stop Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2018 she asked Epstein about Stewart, who was writing a piece on Musk.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you like Jim Stewart?\u201d she wrote<\/u><\/a> to Epstein in August 2018. \u201cWill send him to you for deep backgound [sic] convo if y=u like? But only if you like.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[N]o thanks,\u201d Epstein replied<\/u><\/a>. \u201cI live in dark background.\u201d<\/p>\n

During several days in August, the two exchanged emails and<\/u><\/a> calls<\/u><\/a> about Musk<\/u><\/a>, who was looking for wealthy investors to buy out shareholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are advising re: sovereign wealth funds looking to help a prominent company go private, let me know if I can help w any approp additional information,\u201d she wrote<\/u><\/a> Epstein on Aug. 12.<\/p>\n

\u201cClever,\u201d he replied<\/u><\/a>. She also offered a primer<\/u><\/a> on how Tesla\u2019s Autopilot worked.<\/p>\n

Epstein passed along names<\/u><\/a> of potential candidates to join Tesla\u2019s board, suggesting former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler and Margaret Thatcher, not realizing she had been dead for five years. (Summers and Ruemmler have apologized<\/u><\/a> for their connections<\/u><\/a> to Epstein and left their jobs<\/u><\/a> after their ties to him were highlighted in the files.)<\/p>\n

Epstein also offered<\/u><\/a> to \u201chelp shape your story\u201d and gave Glover advice on how Musk should talk on the record to Stewart or then-Times reporter Landon Thomas Jr. about the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWill try,\u201d Glover replied<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two days after Epstein\u2019s death, Stewart wrote a column<\/u><\/a> recounting a meeting he had with Epstein in which he claimed to know information about wealthy and famous people that was \u201cpotentially damaging or embarrassing, including details about their supposed sexual proclivities and recreational drug use.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thomas Jr. left the Times in 2019 after he solicited a major charitable gift from Epstein, who\u2019d been a source, according to an investigation by NPR<\/u><\/a> and a statement the publication made to the New York Post<\/u><\/a>. Thomas Jr. declined to comment to NPR and didn\u2019t respond to a request for comment from Blue Light News.<\/p>\n

Stewart said in a statement that he wasn\u2019t aware at the time of any relationship between Glover and Epstein and didn\u2019t know about anything Epstein might have told her.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I would with any potential source, I reached out to Epstein because I\u2019d heard he was recruiting board members for Tesla at the behest of Musk,\u201d he said. \u201cEpstein wanted to meet in person, so I went to his townhouse. (I subsequently wrote about that encounter<\/u><\/a>.) I don\u2019t recall using anything Epstein had to say in any story about Musk. He certainly didn\u2019t \u2018shape\u2019 any story I was involved in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoades-Ha said in a statement that Thomas Jr. hadn\u2019t worked at the Times since 2019 \u201cafter editors discovered his failure to abide by our ethical standards. Times editors were not aware at the time of Thomas\u2019s now-public emails with Epstein.\u201d<\/p>\n

Referring to Musk, Epstein told her<\/u><\/a> that he only said \u201cgreat things about your boy\u201d while sharing that \u201csome of the papers are looking into whether you [sic] boy was on drugs.\u201d He then asked Glover<\/u><\/a> if there are \u201cdifferent colors of cocaine. ? ! ectasy [sic]. (I know zero about drugs).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing to it,\u201d she replied<\/u><\/a>. \u201cHe barely even drinks.\u201d She acknowledged<\/u><\/a> three days later, \u201cOh and re burning man, he hasn\u2019t gone in years but may go w his musician girlfriend the last weekend in aug \u2013 that is the best the rumor mongers can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the Times published the interview, Elon Musk Details \u2018Excruciating\u2019 Personal Toll of Tesla Turmoil<\/u><\/a>, Epstein emailed Glover<\/u><\/a>, saying \u201cgood work \u2013 interview apart from the one short seller comment. :)\u201d<\/p>\n

Glover responded<\/u><\/a>: \u201cGlad you think it improves situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The exchanges about Musk show how their relationship was a give-and-take compared to a more formal adviser-client set up with Epstein giving positive feedback to one of the nation\u2019s leading communications strategists on her own media approach. At the same time, Glover also steadfastly defended her client, insisting he didn\u2019t do drugs less than a month before he smoked marijuana live on The Joe Rogan Experience.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

Glover said that her interactions with Epstein about Musk came during a tense time as Tesla\u2019s leadership was pushing hard to take the company private, which Musk had announced the Saudis and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman were key to getting done.<\/p>\n

\u201cEpstein had bragged that he was close to MBS, so I reached out,\u201d she told Blue Light News. \u201cMusk was unaware that I\u2019d done so. I shared publicly available information about the company, with the intent that Epstein would advise the Saudis to hold steady on their commitment to Musk to take the company private. I was trying to encourage him to weigh in with the Saudis to keep their word to Musk. I do not believe he was in any way useful to this effort as there are no known communications with MBS in the DOJ files.\u201d<\/p>\n

Musk didn\u2019t respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

An attempt at a pro-democracy rehabilitation<\/h4>\n

Glover\u2019s firm Ridgely Walsh emphasizes<\/u><\/a> \u201cbespoke public affairs services\u201d and the DOJ files reveal the kind of strategic matchmaking services she might offer clients. For Epstein, who needed to burnish his image, she found an advocacy group in need of funding.<\/p>\n

After their first lunch meeting in May 2017, Epstein thanked Glover<\/u><\/a> for her time and said he was happy to meet the leadership of the democracy nonprofit Freedom House as he tried to overhaul his public reputation after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from a minor and was sentenced to 18 months in jail. (He served 13 months<\/u><\/a> on a work release program that allowed him to go to his office during most days.)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pro- democracy fund=ng is a good idea, no matter what positive fallout it may have on me perso=ally,\u201d he wrote<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

He also invited Glover and a guest to see the Tony-award winning play Oslo, in which he bragged that he had bought out the entire Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center so that many U.N. diplomats could attend. \u201c[Y]ou would be part of the private gatherings. Many interesting people will attend,\u201d he noted<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glover doesn\u2019t appear to have replied to Epstein\u2019s invitation but seven weeks later she told Epstein<\/u><\/a> she had secured a date for Michael Abramowitz, the then-head of Freedom House, to come see him. They were all supposed to meet<\/u><\/a> in person on July 24, but Epstein ended up being out of town so the three joined a call.<\/u><\/a> Glover, who has long worked for international dissidents of various stripes, connected the two via email after the call with Abramowitz responding<\/u><\/a>, \u201cnice to meet you. Talk soon I hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

A month later, Abramowitz emailed Epstein<\/u><\/a>, saying he hoped he had a good summer and had enjoyed talking to him. While he sent four attachments about the organization, Epstein had the brusque reply<\/u><\/a> \u201cthx\u201d with a link to an article on HuffPost promoting his work funding scientists. (The articleno longer appears<\/u><\/a> on HuffPost.)<\/p>\n

The pair ups didn\u2019t always work, although for Freedom House the mismatch turned out to be a positive. Numerous politicians have had<\/u><\/a> to give away<\/u><\/a> Epstein donations to charitable causes and other figures associated with the late sex offender have lost their jobs or resigned from posts.<\/p>\n

Freedom House referred a request for comment to Abramowitz.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was asked to have a conversation with him about philanthropy,\u201d Abramowitz said in a statement. \u201cIt was a brief phone call, and Freedom House never accepted money from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glover said she connected Epstein to Abramowitz because Epstein was interested in funding nonprofits. Glover and her firm have experience working with pro-democracy efforts including work on the Magnitsky Act, much of which she does pro-bono. (The Magnitsky Act allows the U.S. government to punish foreign officials for human rights abuses.)<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do much work in the pro-democracy space, so I asked Freedom House to talk to Epstein about what overseas nonprofits might prove to be the most effective in supporting democracy efforts in Russia and Eastern Europe (at that time Russians were in the streets in large numbers protesting Putin),\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

“There was was also growing awareness about Putin directing interference in the U.S. 2016 election and the U.S. was certainly not going to step up to support free elections given Trump’s growing closeness to Putin so I suggested Epstein do it,” Glover said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI suspected these foreign groups would welcome his money in their vital, but cash-strapped work,\u201d she added. \u201cI have apologized to the good leaders of Freedom House for connecting this storied institution to this monster. Nothing came of that conversation. Epstein of course lied about his intent and\/or ability to marshal money.\u201d<\/p>\n

A warning about Steve Bannon<\/h4>\n

There were tensions embedded in Epstein\u2019s relationship with Glover, a classic establishment GOP operator, and his similarly newfound friendship with Bannon, the conservative firebrand who was separately giving him strategic advice. It\u2019s an illustration of Epstein\u2019s success at cracking the political world that he was able to maintain relations with both of them.<\/p>\n

In their 2018 correspondence about unconventional presidential tickets, Epstein took care<\/u><\/a> to write \u201c(not bannon)\u201d when telling Glover that his other \u201cfriends with great knowledge of the system\u201d thought the third party idea was \u201cbrilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glover replied back<\/u><\/a> with a link to a New York Times op-ed<\/u><\/a> she authored about third parties \u201cthat says something of the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

In December 2018, Epstein replied back to a blast from Glover sharing a Blue Light News Magazine op-ed<\/u><\/a> she had written about how Joe Biden should run on a unity ticket with Mitt Romney.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Y]ou are right of course,\u201d Epstein wrote<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Months earlier, Glover passed along a request<\/u><\/a> by the BBC to put the outlet in touch with Wolff about Epstein. Wolff forwarded it to Epstein, who told him<\/u><\/a> to get more information on the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the job,\u201d Wolff replied<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Glover emailed him<\/u><\/a> to say she was going to be in New York City the next day and wanted to check in. Epstein wrote back<\/u><\/a> that he \u201cwould have loved to however i am in the caribean [sic] please try again next time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWill do,\u201d Glover replied<\/u><\/a>. \u201cTake care.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April, Glover checked in again<\/u><\/a> to ask if Epstein would be free in a few days in New York City, adding \u201cHope all is well.\u201d He told her<\/u><\/a> he was not in town that day. But the two met up in July after Glover emailed him again<\/u><\/a> asking if he was in Manhattan, adding \u201cHope all is great.\u201d<\/p>\n

On her way to the meeting<\/u><\/a> at his Upper East Side mansion, she apologized<\/u><\/a> for being a few minutes late, saying \u201cI am so sorry!\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the topics of discussion at their meeting was Epstein\u2019s dealings with Bannon.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn reflection, I don\u2019t think any good can come from Steve being in your sphere,\u201d Glover wrote to Epstein<\/u><\/a> the next day. \u201cI have only met him once but there is a malice and manipulative vengeful nature there that can only cause you harm. He will use his access to you to leverage something unwelcome – not sure what, but he\u2019s conjuring dark forces and access to you is only energizing him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Epstein thanked her, and added, \u201cI will take advice.\u201d (Despite telling her that, hecontinued to talk to Bannon<\/u><\/a> up until his arrest the next year on new sex trafficking charges and sat down for interviews with Bannon for a documentary he was making.)<\/p>\n

Asked why she had warned Epstein about Bannon, Glover told Blue Light News that Epstein had mentioned to her he was seeing Bannon later in the day during their July 2018 meeting. \u201cI warned Epstein away from Bannon, as I thought Bannon would block Epstein from saying what he knew about Trump,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Bannon declined to comment.<\/p>\n

The last instance of Glover in the files is in March 2019 when Epstein emailed her<\/u><\/a>a link to a letter<\/u><\/a> to the editor of the Times that his four lawyers had written defending Epstein and saying \u201cthe number of young women involved in the investigation has been vastly exaggerated.\u201d It continued that the earlier \u201ccase lacked the credible and compelling proof that is required by federal criminal statutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

She did not reply.<\/p>\n
