Jeffrey Epstein’s parents were Jewish, born in New York to a family with roots in Eastern Europe. Ghislaine Maxwell’s father was also Jewish, from Czechoslovakia, while her mother was French Protestant. Epstein had ties to Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia—his passport showed he lived there in the ‘80s, and he claimed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visited him often. His jet was also tracked near Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia in 2016. No record exists of him or Maxwell being Qatari.
