Three Names, One Woman: What the DOJ Epstein Files Say About Cimberly Espinosa

# Three Names, One Woman: What the DOJ Epstein Files Say About Cimberly Espinosa

*19 documents. Three married names. One American Express Centurion card. And a two-hour defense testimony that began with "I never saw anything."*

How This Started: A Bug Report

On February 20, 2026, someone emailed us a bug report. One line: *"I searched for 'foley' and received the error Error: hit.dataset.replace is not a function."*

That's it. No context. No explanation of why they were searching "foley" in 329,474 DOJ Epstein documents.

We fixed the bug — a type coercion issue in our search enrichment pipeline. Took about ten minutes. But the word "foley" stuck with us. Why foley?

The obvious answer: **40 Foley Square** is the address of the federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan. The Southern District of New York. The courthouse where grand juries heard testimony about Jeffrey Epstein. Where Ghislaine Maxwell was tried and convicted. Hundreds of documents in the Epstein files reference that address — court subpoenas, letters to judges, grand jury transcripts. That's the bulk of the 571 results.

But also in those 571 results: **Congressman Mark Foley**, the Palm Beach Republican who resigned in 2006 over sexually explicit messages to underage congressional pages — named in an FBI tip alongside the Epstein network.

And one more name. The one that matters for this story.

**Cimberly Foley.**

We pulled the thread. Here's what unraveled.

Three Names

The DOJ Epstein files contain 19 documents tied to a woman who appears under three different surnames across a decade of correspondence, financial records, and travel manifests:

- **Cimberly Espinosa** — the name she used at Epstein's company (1996-2002)

- **Cimberly Galindo** — the name in emails to Maxwell (2002-2003)

- **Cimberly Foley** — the name in later emails and FedEx invoices (2004)

Same woman. Same "Cim." Three marriages, three names, one continuous relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein that spanned at least 13 years.

"If I'm Not Working for You, I'm Just Not Working"

In January 2003, Cimberly Galindo emailed Maxwell from California. She'd moved to Irvine with her husband and was browsing W Magazine at a hair salon when she saw Maxwell's photo at a Gucci opening. She wrote:

> *"I thought you looked great and seeing your picture made me realize how much I miss you. Also, I have come to realize that if I'm not working for you (or JE, you two are almost one in the same) then I'm just not working!"*

>

> — **EFTA02335197**, Dataset 11

Maxwell wrote back: *"Have you been on any interviews? Where are you living? What are you doing all day?"*

This isn't how you check in on a former employee. This is how you manage an asset.

"It Is What You Call a Trial Separation"

A few weeks later, Cimberly panicked. She wrote to Maxwell asking if she should "consider you my EX for sure." Maxwell's reply:

> *"No definitely not — it is what you call a trial separation."*

>

> — **EFTA02332470**, Dataset 11

Cimberly wrote back explaining she'd been offered another job but had told the employer she needed to speak with Maxwell first:

> *"From the beginning I told him that before I accepted anything I would speak to you first. I never went that far with this lady. So I guess you can say I looked but I did not touch."*

She signed off: *"your devoted Cimberly."*

The Monthly Trips

By August 2004 — now using the name **Cimberly Foley** — she was still in contact with Maxwell, asking about a standing arrangement:

> *"I'm curious if you are still thinking that you may be coming out here once a month. Last we spoke you thought it might start as soon as September and that perhaps I could work for you one week a month or so. Is this still a possibility?"*

>

> — **EFTA02332969**, Dataset 11

And in October 2004:

> *"Do you have any plans of coming out West anytime soon? Just hoping. :)"*

>

> — **EFTA02333064**, Dataset 11

Maxwell Forwarded Her to Epstein

In August 2009, Maxwell forwarded an email from Cimberly directly to Jeffrey Epstein's personal Gmail ([email protected]) with the subject line:

> *"FW: Check out this story — this is from Cim — read e mail and resumes first"*

>

> — **EFTA02436409**, Dataset 11

By 2009, Epstein had already been convicted (2008) and served his 13-month sentence with work release. Maxwell was still forwarding Cimberly's communications and resumes to him. The relationship didn't stop after the conviction.

The Financial Records

Packages from Epstein's Manhattan office to addresses in **Southern California** and **Boca Raton, Florida** — two of Epstein's known operational areas.

American Express Triumph Centurion

Document **EFTA01307676** contains detailed American Express account demographics for Jeffrey Epstein. Listed among the supplementary cardholders on his **Triumph Centurion** account:

- **KIMBERLY GALINDO** — added 07/1998

- **CIMBERLY GALINDO** — added 11/1999

Epstein's personal assistant had her own card on his Centurion account. She wasn't freelancing.

Shoppers Travel, Inc.

Document **EFTA01265994** is a travel agency report from **Shoppers Travel, Inc.** listing passengers booked through Epstein's account. On the manifest, **Foley/Cimberly** appears alongside:

- **Epstein/J**

- **Maxwell/Ghislaine** (listed 5 times on the same page)

- **Alexander/Miles**

- **Kosslyn/Steven** — Harvard psychologist, recipient of Epstein research funding

- **Malova/Anna** — Miss Russia 1998, known Epstein associate

- **Cochran/Sophie**

- **Ellison/Amanda**

- **Perry Lang/Adam** — celebrity chef, Epstein associate

And nearby: **Foley/John** — likely Cimberly's husband at the time, also traveling on Epstein's dime.

The Trial

At Ghislaine Maxwell's federal sex trafficking trial in December 2021, the defense called Cimberly Espinosa as their **first witness**.

She testified for just under two hours. Key points:

- She worked at Epstein's company from **1996 to 2002**, primarily as Maxwell's executive assistant

- She said she **"never"** saw Maxwell or Epstein "engaged in any misbehavior"

- She described Maxwell and Epstein as "a little flirty" in the early years

- She said she **"looked up to"** Maxwell

- When asked about "Jane" — one of four women who testified Maxwell groomed them as minors — Espinosa said Jane appeared to be **"probably 18"** and that Jane's mother described her as Epstein's **"goddaughter"**

The prosecution asked exactly **one question**: Had she ever worked at any of Epstein's homes?

She had not.

*"No further questions."*

The FBI Knew

Document **EFTA02730271** is an FBI internal intelligence report from March 2022, classified **UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY**. The report researched persons of interest among alleged defense witnesses in the Maxwell trial.

The FBI confirmed: Espinosa began as a receptionist, was hired in 1996, and it was understood that Maxwell served as the office manager of Epstein's company.

A separate FBI intake record (**EFTA00020509**) — a tip submitted to the FBI's National Threat Operations Center — named **Congressman Mark Foley** alongside the Palm Beach County Attorney and Sheriff Chief in a report alleging a **40-year child abuse network** connected to Epstein through organizations called **Growing Together Inc.** and **Straight Inc.**

Mark Foley — the congressman who resigned in 2006 over sexually explicit messages to underage congressional pages — represented **Palm Beach County, Florida**. The same county where Epstein's crimes were centered.

What 19 Documents Tell You

Cimberly Espinosa / Galindo / Foley wasn't a peripheral figure. The documents show:

1. **She had Epstein's credit card** (AMEX Centurion supplementary cardholder)

2. **She received packages from his office** (FedEx invoices to CA and FL)

3. **She traveled on his account** (Shoppers Travel manifest alongside Maxwell, Malova, Kosslyn)

4. **She considered Maxwell and Epstein "almost one in the same"** — her words

5. **She wouldn't take another job without Maxwell's permission** — "I told him before I accepted anything I would speak to you first"

6. **The relationship continued after Epstein's 2008 conviction** — Maxwell forwarding her emails and resumes to Epstein in 2009

7. **She testified for the defense at Maxwell's trial** — "I never saw anything"

The prosecution's single question told the jury everything: *You never worked at his homes. So you never saw what happened there.*

She didn't need to. She was the one who booked the travel, managed the office, and carried the card. She saw the infrastructure. Whether she saw the crimes is a different question — and the answer she gave under oath was exactly the answer the defense paid for.
