Justin Trudeau, the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada, has no documented connection to Jeffrey Epstein. A comprehensive review of the entire Epstein email and document archive reveals zero direct correspondence, zero flight logs, zero financial transactions, and zero evidence of any meetings, phone calls, or contact of any kind between the two men.
Every mention of the name "Trudeau" in the Epstein archive is a confirmed false positive: mass media newsletters referencing the Canadian prime minister in routine political coverage, the name of Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in travel documents, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau (his then-wife) listed among 70+ participants at a public summit, and a Canadian entrepreneur casually mentioning Trudeau in the context of domestic crypto regulation policy. None of these mentions indicate any awareness by Trudeau of Epstein, or any connection between them.
This profile exists solely to document the absence of evidence and to contextualize the false-positive mentions that appear in the archive. There is no basis in the Epstein document record for any claim of a Trudeau-Epstein connection.
Background#

He was elected leader of the Liberal Party of Canada in 2013 and led the party to majority government victories in 2015 and renewed mandates in 2019 and 2021. He announced his resignation as Liberal leader in January 2025.
Sophie Grégoire Trudeau (née Grégoire) is a Canadian television host and author who was married to Justin Trudeau from 2005 to 2023. She has been active in advocacy work related to mental health, women's empowerment, and eating disorders.
Archive Mentions Analysis#
Mass Media Newsletters
The majority of "Trudeau" mentions in the Epstein archive come from mass-distributed news digests that were sent to email addresses associated with Epstein or, in many cases, to FBI personnel whose files were collected during the investigation. These include:
-
Washington Post "Daily 202" newsletters (EFTA00033643, EFTA00032835, EFTA00032518, EFTA00162740): Political roundups from 2020–2022 mentioning Trudeau in the context of routine international affairs coverage such as Iran war powers resolutions and Ukraine-Russia tensions. These are mass-distributed newsletters with no connection to Epstein.
-
JNS News newsletter (EFTA01184936): A Jewish News Syndicate mass email sent to [email protected] (an Epstein-associated email address) with the subject line "Canada's Trudeau leaves Israel 'guessing'" — a routine news article about Canadian-Israeli diplomatic relations. This is a mass newsletter subscription, not personal correspondence.
-
FBI Public Affairs News Briefings (EFTA00137248, EFTA00149162, EFTA01655899, EFTA01658816, EFTA01658887): Internal FBI news compilations from 2020–2024 mentioning Trudeau in routine political coverage. These are government documents collected during the investigation, not Epstein correspondence.
-
CNBC Morning Squawk newsletters: Mass financial news digests mentioning Trudeau in passing international coverage.
-
Wikipedia printout about Scott Morrison (EFTA00263047): A printed Wikipedia article about the Australian Prime Minister that mentions "Trudeau" only in the context of comparing world leaders. No connection to Epstein.
None of these documents reflect any personal connection, communication, or relationship between Trudeau and Epstein.
Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport
Travel documents in the archive (EFTA00591248, EFTA00291790) reference flights from "Montreal Trudeau" airport to New York JFK on July 12, 2014. The "Trudeau" here refers to the airport's name — Montréal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, named after Justin Trudeau's father. The ticket was arranged by Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff for a traveler whose name is redacted but who is identified as a citizen of Poland. This has no connection to Justin Trudeau.
Sophie Grégoire Trudeau — Women in the World Summit (2018)
On April 5, 2018, Michael Wolff forwarded Epstein an invitation to Tina Brown's Women in the World Summit, scheduled for April 12–14, 2018, with the message "We could go together" (EFTA00840838). The summit was described as featuring "remarkable female newsmakers sharing their stories of male misbehaviors." The participant list included Sophie Grégoire Trudeau as one of approximately 70+ listed speakers and participants — not Justin Trudeau.
Epstein forwarded the same invitation to Lawrence Krauss, who replied sarcastically: "Let's do a men of the world conference. Kevin spacey, Bill Clinton, Al franken, Woody Allen" — a list of men accused of sexual misconduct (EFTA00841025). Epstein also forwarded the invitation to Kathy Ruemmler, former White House Counsel, who responded: "I want to see the list of male misbehaviors" (EFTA02481004, EFTA02479486).
This email chain is notable for what it reveals about Epstein's communications with Wolff, Krauss, and Ruemmler — and their flippant attitude toward sexual misconduct allegations — but it contains no evidence that Epstein attended the summit, communicated with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, or had any contact with Justin Trudeau. Sophie Grégoire Trudeau's name appeared on a publicly distributed participant list alongside dozens of other public figures.
Austin Hill — Crypto Policy Mention (2017)
On September 11, 2017, Canadian cryptocurrency entrepreneur Austin Hill emailed Epstein to check on his island after a hurricane. The conversation turned to cryptocurrency regulation, with Epstein stating "lots to discuss, govt very nervous." Hill responded: "Yeah - we are trying to get Justin Trudeau & the provinces to do a regulatory power move up here to create a safe framework: take the action the us can't handle & help our markets compete" (EFTA00673388, EFTA00673391). Hill followed up: "If we add our immigration policy for entrepreneurs & some AI shit we have brewing / give us functioning crypto markets and Canada might just end up being America's hat forever."
Hill, identified as being associated with "Brudder Ventures" and "Blockstream" (a Bitcoin technology company), had a relationship with Epstein dating to at least January 2015, involving discussions about Bitcoin, cryptocurrency security, Ethereum, and the Gates Foundation's use of blockchain technology (EFTA00867190, EFTA00866621). Hill visited Epstein in New York and they had regular calls.
Hill's mention of Justin Trudeau is entirely generic — describing his industry's lobbying efforts to get the Canadian federal government to adopt favorable crypto regulations, in the same way one might reference "getting Congress to pass a bill." There is no evidence that Trudeau was aware of Hill's relationship with Epstein, that any regulatory action was coordinated with Epstein, or that Trudeau had any knowledge of or involvement in Hill's conversations with Epstein.
Connections#
The only individuals in Epstein's network who appear in documents containing the name "Trudeau" are:
- Michael Wolff: Author and journalist who forwarded Epstein the Women in the World Summit invitation listing Sophie Grégoire Trudeau as a participant.
- Lawrence Krauss: Physicist who received Epstein's forward of the summit invitation and responded with a sarcastic list of men accused of misconduct.
- Kathy Ruemmler: Former White House Counsel who received Epstein's forward of the summit invitation.
- Lesley Groff: Epstein's assistant who arranged travel documents referencing Montréal–Trudeau airport.
- Austin Hill: Canadian crypto entrepreneur who mentioned Trudeau in passing during a business conversation with Epstein about cryptocurrency regulation.
None of these connections involve Justin Trudeau in any way. They are connections between Epstein and other individuals whose communications happen to contain incidental references to the Trudeau name.
Conclusion#
A thorough review of the complete Epstein email and document archive — encompassing all 11 flagged documents and 15 email body mentions — reveals that Justin Trudeau has no credible connection to Jeffrey Epstein or his network. Every instance of the name "Trudeau" in the archive is attributable to mass media newsletters, an airport name, a spouse's appearance on a public event participant list, or a third party's casual reference to Canadian federal policy. There is no direct correspondence, no evidence of meetings, no flight logs, no financial records, and no indication of any form of contact between Trudeau and Epstein.
