New documents from the Jeffrey Epstein files reveal that Mira Nair, the mother of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is mentioned in a 2009 invitation correspondence; the foreign press notes that this is not an indictment but a record reflecting the social themes of the time.
The new materials released by the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files have brought the network of connections that spans wide social circles back into the international spotlight. In this context, it has emerged that the mother of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is also mentioned in the documents alongside world-renowned film director Mira Nair.
ATTENDED A FILM PROMOTION EVENT
Nair, whose name appears in the files, was noted in an email correspondence regarding a film promotion event that took place after a party at Ghislaine Maxwell's home in New York in 2009, attended by Epstein's close circle.
WHO IS NOT IN THE PHOTOS
The correspondence in question states that Nair attended the party held after the film "Amelia," according to publicist Peggy Siegal's email dated October 21, 2009. The correspondence indicates that many prominent figures, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, were present at the event.
"DOES NOT IMPLY CRIME OR COMPLICITY"
Although the newly released documents contain this email, experts and external media organizations emphasize that the mere appearance of names in the files does not automatically imply crime or complicity. Nair's inclusion in the mentioned correspondence reflects only her social relationships and invitation lists from that time; it does not provide evidence of criminal allegations or direct connections.
IMAGES SPARKED CONTROVERSY
This development has further increased the visibility of the Mamdani family's public profile. Zohran Mamdani has been elected as the Mayor of New York as a socialist politician born in Uganda, while Mira Nair is known as a respected director in world cinema.
Experts indicate that the new documents emerging from the Epstein files have heightened public curiosity, while emphasizing the importance of evaluating every name that arises in relation to these individuals within context. Such records provide a framework for social and professional interactions involving only the names of individuals; they are not considered concrete evidence of crime or complicity.
