In a 2009 email, Mr. Epstein wrote to Mr. bin Sulayem, “Where are you? are you ok , I loved the torture video.” It was unclear which video he referred to.

When the documents were first released, the Emirati executive’s name was redacted, but he was identified on Wednesday during a House hearing on the Epstein files.

The files also indicate that the two men maintained a close association for years after Mr. Epstein’s 2008 conviction on charges of soliciting prostitution from a minor.

Mr. bin Sulayem wrote back thanking Mr. Epstein and made reference to “a fresh 100% female Russian at my yacht.”
