Times journalist Helen Rumbelow spent two days sifting through the thousands of lurid, criminal and often coded messages between Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends.

In her widely shared article, Helen exposes not just the shocking content of those emails, but what they tell us about the mindset of powerful men.
