A newly released tranche of roughly three million records tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation has pulled an unexpected name into the public conversation, after documents referencing NFL quarterback Russell Wilson circulated online and prompted a swift public denial from the former Seattle Seahawks star.
The reference appears in a January 2019 email exchange involving Epstein and longtime pilot Larry Visoski, discussing the possible sale of a Gulfstream IV aircraft. In the email, Visoski relayed that a broker had been in contact with Wilson about potentially viewing the plane while Wilson was in Orlando with his wife and child. The message describes Wilson as a “long shot” but “seriously interested,” noting that he was negotiating a new football contract at the time and would not be able to close on a purchase until that deal was finalized.
The Epstein Files include Russell Wilson 😳

The email outlines a potential purchase price of approximately $3.2 million, with discussion of a non-refundable $300,000 deposit and a possible test flight. It also includes biographical and financial details about Wilson pulled from online sources, including references to his 2015 contract extension with the Seahawks. The correspondence centers on whether it would be worthwhile to fly the aircraft to Orlando for a showing.
There is no indication in the document that Wilson ever viewed the plane, met Epstein, or engaged directly with him. The email instead reflects internal discussions among Epstein’s associates about a prospective buyer and whether to pursue the opportunity. After the document began circulating, Wilson publicly rejected any suggestion of involvement. In a post responding to the claims, he said he had no knowledge of Epstein or the aircraft’s ownership and characterized the situation as a routine sales outreach that went no further.

Not TODAY satan!

“NOPE!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT! Not TODAY satan!” Wilson wrote. “Some random plane broker tried to sell me a plane. I had no idea whose plane and never bought the plane. Never talked nor never met the man. Thank God!!!”
The clarification comes amid heightened scrutiny following the release of millions of Epstein-related records, which include emails, contact lists, and business communications involving a wide range of public figures. Many of the names appearing in the files reflect peripheral or transactional contacts rather than evidence of personal relationships or criminal conduct, though the disclosures have reignited public debate and speculation.
Wilson’s response underscores that distinction, drawing a line between being referenced in third-party communications and having any direct connection to Epstein himself. As more documents continue to be examined, similar denials and clarifications are expected from individuals whose names surface in the records without accompanying evidence of wrongdoing.
