Records show Jeffrey Epstein’s requests for multiple passports, travels to Africa and Middle East
ABC News
More than 50 pages from Epstein's files were obtained by ABC News in a public records request to the State Department.
In June 2011, the U.S. Department of State received an urgent request from an American businessman who sought a second U.S passport for impending trips to Europe and multiple African nations.
"I am frequently required on extremely short notice to schedule international trips with itineraries to multiple destinations requiring me to obtain multiple visas at the same time, which is simply not possible on such short notice without a second passport," the letter said.
The applicant, who identified himself as the president of an international financial consulting firm, said he had business trips scheduled in the coming weeks to France, Sierra Leone, Mali and Gabon.
"Please issue me a second passport so I may have the 3 visas issued for Africa while I am using my current passport in France," he wrote.
The businessman's name: Jeffrey Edward Epstein.
