  • Insider has obtained a never-seen-before address book that appears to have belonged to Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s.
  • The book, which contains entries for 349 people, offers a window into the late pedophile's social circle a full decade prior to the era covered by his previously known "little black book." More than 200 names listed in the book did not appear in Epstein's later address book.
  • Prominent entries not previously associated with Epstein include Suzanne Ircha, Carl Icahn, John A. Catsimatidis, Morgan Fairchild, Sandy Warner, and Martin Peretz.

Suzanne Ircha, a close associate of Melania Trump, is listed in a previously unseen address book that apparently belonged to Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s.

The address book, obtained by Insider, brings dozens of notable names into Epstein's network for the first time. It also traces previously reported relationships back to the 1990s.

Ircha, who now goes by Suzanne Johnson following her marriage to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson, is frequently described in the media as the best friend of Melania Trump. Her presence in Epstein's Rolodex adds to a web of known connections between the former First Lady, her husband, and the sex offender.

Ircha Johnson, an erstwhile actress who starred in two B-movies during a hiatus from the financial sector, formerly worked as an equities saleswoman at the investment bank Sandler O'Neill. Like Epstein, she started her finance career at Bear Stearns.

Her entry in Epstein's address book shows not only an apartment in Midtown Manhattan, but also the phone numbers of her sister and brother. Through a spokesperson, Ircha Johnson declined to comment or explain why Epstein had her and her siblings' contact information.

Ircha's entry is one of many Epstein connections that have never before come to light. There are 221 unique names in the Rolodex that do not appear in Epstein's previously published address book, which dates nearly a full decade later.
