This email discusses the provenance of Salvator Mundi, a painting by Leonardo da Vinci that is the last known in private hands. In 2013, Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev purchased the painting for $127 million through his art dealer, Swiss businessman Yves Bouvier. Before Bouvier, the painting was owned by New York City-based gallerist Robert Simon, who found it at an estate auction in New Orleans in 2005 and paid just $10,000 for it. The email also mentions a conversation about Donald Trump overruling Congress on Yemen and the relationship between Rybolovlev and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS).

The document reports a new book by Michael Wolff detailing a shady real estate deal involving President Donald Trump and Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev. The book claims that Jeffrey Epstein played a key role in the deal, showing Trump a $55 million mansion but then discovering that Trump had bought it for about $40 million through an entity called Trump Properties LLC financed by Deutsche Bank. Epstein threatened to expose the deal until he faced investigation and later served time in jail as part of a controversial plea agreement brokered by future Labor Secretary Alex Acosta.
