Newly released congressional records from the estate of the late financier Jeffrey Epstein have revealed email exchanges between Epstein and Indian-American author and wellness guru Deepak Chopra, sparking questions about the nature of their relationship.

The documents, released by the US House Oversight Committee last Wednesday, include emails sent between 2016 and 2018.

Who Is Deepak Chopra?

Deepak Chopra is a prominent Indian-American author, physician, and New Age wellness advocate. He has written over ninety books, many bestsellers, and co-founded the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, offering courses in meditation, Ayurveda, and holistic health practices.

Through his work, Chopra has become one of the most recognised figures in alternative medicine, with a personal empire reportedly worth over $80 million.

Born in India, Chopra studied medicine before moving to the United States in 1970, completing a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in endocrinology. He is known for promoting a holistic approach to well-being, combining yoga, meditation, nutrition, and other New Age therapies.

Chopra holds numerous professional titles, including Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of California, San Diego, senior scientist at Gallup, and Honorary Fellow in Medicine at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.

He has also co-founded AI-driven health initiatives such as DeepakChopra.ai and Cyberhuman.ai, aimed at personal well-being and integrative health solutions.

Emails In Question

In one exchange from November 2016, Epstein shared a news article with Chopra about a woman who had filed, then dropped, a civil lawsuit alleging sexual abuse by Donald Trump when she was a minor at a party linked to Epstein. Chopra responded by asking whether the lawsuit against Epstein had also been dropped. Epstein confirmed it had, to which Chopra replied simply, “Good."

In another email from July 2016, nearly eight years after Epstein had become a registered sex offender, Chopra asked Epstein for information about Marla Maples, the second wife of then-President Donald Trump. “Anything we share is between us," Chopra wrote.

“I share nothing with anyone but trust you." Epstein replied with a personal anecdote about a $10,000 bet he lost to Trump over Maples’ pregnancy, noting he sent Trump a truckload of baby food as payment.

The emails, part of more than 20,000 pages from Epstein’s estate, also mention other high-profile figures and victims, though many names were redacted.
