Trump's son-in-law asked Epstein to attend high-profile gala, emails show

US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, invited the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to a high-profile 2013 New York Observer anniversary gala that listed Trump, Harvey Weinstein, and a slate of prominent media and political figures as guests, according to newly published emails. The message, addressed to “Dear Mr Jeffrey Epstein,” promoted publisher Jared Kushner as “New York’s youngest powerhouse publisher” and described the March 14 event as a celebration of “the cities best, brightest and most influential in culture, media and finance.”
