[GRADE A2 — EFTA02393563 (jmail)]
In November 2015, Epstein emailed Reid Hoffman (EFTA02393563): "Prince Andrew is off to china, he spent a great deal of time with Xi. if you would like to meet up, let me know."
This email documents Epstein performing his characteristic access broker function: offering a Silicon Valley billionaire a connection to British royalty and, through that connection, to Chinese President Xi Jinping. The email reveals:
Prince Andrew met Xi Jinping formally in Beijing on at least two occasions (April 2016 and May 2018). British police assessed claims that Andrew shared sensitive trade envoy reports with Epstein. The CNBC reporting (February 2026) confirmed this email as part of Epstein's extensive Silicon Valley brokerage documented in DOJ files.
DugganUSA campaign D5 returned: 11 documents matching "Prince Andrew + Hoffman/Reid" and 11 matching "Andrew + China + Reid." Zero hits for "Prince Andrew + Silicon Valley." The 11 hits include FBI News Briefings from 2025 covering the story, court filings, and news articles — confirming the email's significance across multiple corpus sources.
WHAT THIS SHOWS AND DOES NOT SHOW: Epstein offered Hoffman access to Prince Andrew and indirectly to Xi Jinping's circle. This documents Epstein's access broker function operating at the intersection of British royalty, Chinese political leadership, and Silicon Valley capital. It does NOT establish that Hoffman accepted the offer, that any meeting took place, or that Hoffman sought political access through Epstein. No response from Hoffman to this specific email appears in the corpus.
