Deepak Chopra Had Meditation Sessions, Discussed Trump With Jeffrey Epstein

India-West News Desk

WASHINGTON, DC – Records released from the House Oversight Committee show email exchanges between Jeffrey Epstein and Deepak Chopra discussing Donald Trump. The correspondence appears in more than 20,000 pages of material from Epstein’s estate, made public by congressional lawmakers on November 19.

Chopra has not been accused of wrongdoing. According to the documents, the two men were in contact in November 2016 when Epstein sent the New Age guru a link to a news story about a woman who had filed, and then withdrawn, a civil suit alleging Trump and Epstein sexually assaulted her in 1994 when she was thirteen.

After reading the article, Chopra asked Epstein whether the woman had also abandoned her claim against him. Epstein replied, “YuP,” to which Chopra responded, “Good.”

The files also include earlier correspondence from July 2016, when Chopra asked Epstein for information about Marla Maples, Trump’s second wife. It is not clear why, but he described the conversation as confidential and told Epstein he trusted him.

Other messages in the release show Epstein referring to Trump as “evil beyond belief.”

The documents also outline a broader relationship between Chopra and Epstein, consisting mainly of emails and calendar entries from 2016 to 2019. They reference discussions about Trump, and possible collaborations on an app and a board game. The schedules list more than a dozen planned meetings between the two men.

Chopra has said the connection traces back to an introduction by Barnaby Marsh, then with the Templeton Foundation, who presented Epstein as a potential supporter of research on the brain and consciousness. According to Chopra, their meetings focused on meditation techniques to help Epstein with insomnia and typically lasted about half an hour.

In a statement responding to the release, Chopra said he is mindful of doctor–patient confidentiality but wants full transparency, adding that he is willing to share information with authorized investigators.

He said all of his interactions with Epstein were limited to meditation sessions and discussions about potential research funding, and that clarity is needed to avoid speculation without context.
