'Love, Melania'
Melania Trump emailed Ghislaine Maxwell in 2002, praising her and a New York magazine story about Jeffrey Epstein.
"Dear G! How are you? Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great in the picture," Melania wrote, per the files obtained by the Daily Beast.
She continued warmly: "I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time!" She closed the email with "Love, Melania."
Ghislaine responded, addressing Melania as "Sweet pea", but explained her busy travel schedule: "Actually plans changed again and I am now on my way back to NY. I leave again on Fri so I still do not think I have time to see you sadly. I will try and call though. Keep well."

The exchange was part of a massive Justice Department release under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
The newly released Epstein files also showed that Bill Clinton attended King Mohammed VI's 2002 wedding in Morocco with Jeffrey.
The documents include dozens of photos, some labeled "Nude," though many were heavily redacted.
Some images show Jeffery working out with gym partners, while others capture Bill and Jeffery together in formal attire or at other gatherings during the trip.
One person familiar with the event described the situation as baffling: "(Clinton) brought them as guests to a king's wedding. I mean, it almost sounds made up. How many times in your life have you been invited as a guest of a guest at a wedding?"
