Khaberni - Two emails appeared in Jeffrey Epstein's files, the first inviting his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell to a shadow committee concerning the events of September 11, and the second asking her a week after the attacks: "Where is the real pilot?"
Journalist Mario Noval revealed the story on the "X" platform, noting that traditional media seemed designed to ignore it, as the files contain an email inviting Ghislaine Maxwell to the secretive shadow committee concerning the events of September 11, in addition to another email dated just one week after the attacks, containing a disturbing question: Where is the real pilot?
The shadow committee's email came from Edward Jay Epstein, an investigative journalist who has spent decades questioning official narratives on everything from the Kennedy assassination to the diamond trade, where he nonchalantly invited Maxwell in 2003 to join a group studying alternative theories about the September 11 events, an invitation that is not typical for a regular book club.
The second email is the more curious, as it was sent on September 18, 2001, while the ruins of the towers were still smoldering, and someone asked Maxwell about the real pilot. Recent leaks indicate that this email came from an account named after the Hidden Man, which is now widely believed to belong to Prince Andrew, based on references to the death of his servant in Balmoral.
These messages were not random, but sent within elite circles to a person whose father had deep intelligence connections, at a moment when most people were still trying to comprehend what had happened.
Epstein's files revealed something else that may explain this hesitation, represented in Epstein's success in manipulating media coverage before, showing how he exploited his relationship with the owner of "New York Daily News," Mortimer Zuckerman, to kill stories and remove Maxwell's name from articles concerning abuse allegations.
When Epstein asked Zuckerman to remove Ghislaine from one of the articles, it actually happened, with "Daily News" making a major edit amid huge objections according to the emails, and the final article did not mention Maxwell or the dozens of women who made the accusations, which was in 2009.
There's also the simple fact that doubting anything about the September 11 events has become professionally akin to radioactive material in mainstream media; it doesn't matter if you raise legitimate questions based on documentary evidence, addressing this topic risks being labeled as a conspiracy theorist, leading to loss of access to sources, advertisers, and credibility.
Meanwhile, independent outlets like DropSite News and Democracy Now continued digging into the files without the same constraints, as they are not affiliated with Disney and do not fear advertiser backlash.
The result is a massive trust gap, where a CNN poll conducted in January 2026 found that two-thirds of Americans believe that the government is deliberately withholding information about Epstein, and when major news outlets don't even investigate the clear questions raised by the published documents, this doubt deepens.
Noval's tweet received millions of views because people yearn for someone to ask these questions; they want to know what the shadow committee was, what "Where is the real pilot?" means, and they want someone with the resources and access to investigate instead of rejecting it.
These two emails are now in the public record, with file numbers EFTA00578730 and EFTA00580430, raising questions about what powerful people knew or suspected about the events of September 11 at the actual time.
