Background

Samantha Power served as Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from 2021 to 2025 and as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations from 2013 to 2017. She is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, best known for her book "A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide" (2002).

She was a senior foreign policy adviser to President Obama and is currently a senior fellow at Harvard Kennedy School's Carr Center for Human Rights Policy. Power's name appears on the DOJ's list of 305 politically exposed persons and government officials whose names appear at least once in the documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The DOJ provided this list to Congress in February 2026 in a six-page letter accompanying the mass document release.

The DOJ letter explicitly noted that inclusion on the list does not imply any connection to Epstein's crimes; names appear in the files for many reasons, including Epstein keeping news clippings about prominent figures, forwarding news articles about government officials via email, or maintaining extensive contact files. No specific direct personal connection between Power and Epstein has been reported by journalists reviewing the files, and no allegations of misconduct involving her have been made.

WikiLeaks Cables Reveal Susan Rice’s Campaign to Block UN War‑Crimes Probe of Israel and Samantha Power’s Influence on Obama’s Libya Intervention
2011-04-19 · House-oversight · Government
WikiLeaks Cables Reveal Susan Rice’s Campaign to Block UN War‑Crimes Probe of Israel and Samantha Power’s Influence on Obama’s Libya Intervention The passage contains concrete, time‑stamped diplomatic cables showing senior U.S. officials (Susan Rice, Hillary Clinton, Avigdor Lieberman) actively working to suppress an independent UN investigation of alleged Israeli war crimes and to leverage the Goldstone report for peace‑process gains. It also details Samantha Power’s role in shaping the Obama administration’s humanitarian‑intervention rationale for Libya. These leads tie high‑level officials and U.S. foreign‑policy institutions to potential obstruction of international justice and to the justification of military action, offering clear investigative angles (e.g., request cable records, follow money flows, interview UN officials). The information is not widely reported in mainstream news, making it a moderately novel, high‑impact lead. Key insights: Rice repeatedly pressured UN Secretary‑General Ban Ki‑moon to water‑down or block recommendations for a sweeping UN inquiry into the Gaza war.; Rice warned ICC President Sang‑Hyun Song about U.S. sensitivities to a Goldstone‑related investigation.; Rice assured Israeli FM Avigdor Lieberman of U.S. efforts to blunt the Goldstone report and used it to push Israel toward a U.S.‑backed peace process.

Harvard professor’s fundraising email to Jeffrey Epstein outlining Poetry in America projects and high‑profile episode guests
· House-oversight · Government
Harvard professor’s fundraising email to Jeffrey Epstein outlining Poetry in America projects and high‑profile episode guests The email shows a direct financial link ($100K) from Jeffrey Epstein to a Harvard‑affiliated nonprofit and lists prominent public figures (e.g., Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton, Ambassador Samantha Power) as participants in a TV series. While it confirms a donation and suggests Epstein’s involvement in cultural projects, it provides no concrete evidence of wrongdoing, illegal transactions, or coercion. The lead is useful for tracing Epstein’s philanthropic outreach to elite institutions but lacks specific misconduct allegations, limiting its investigative immediacy. Key insights: Epstein contributed $100,000 to Verse Video Education, a 501(c)(3) founded by Elisa New.; The email requests further meetings and potential introductions (e.g., "the famous Bamaby", "the Blacks").; High‑profile guests for the upcoming TV series include Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Samantha Power, Shaquille O'Neal, Yo‑Yo Ma, and others.

Harvard humanities initiative outlines poetry education program featuring numerous public figures

Harvard humanities initiative outlines poetry education program featuring numerous public figures The document is a promotional overview of a humanities outreach project. It lists many well‑known individuals (e.g., Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton, Ambassador Samantha Power) as participants in a TV series, but provides no allegations, financial transactions, or evidence of wrongdoing. The lead is therefore low‑value for investigation, offering only a roster of public figures without concrete leads. Key insights: Project aims to expand Harvard's public‑facing humanities work via the Derek Bok Center.; First teacher‑focused course, "Poetry in America for Teachers," slated to launch Jan 23, 2017.; Television series "Poetry in America" to feature episodes with high‑profile guests such as Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, and Samantha Power.

Harvard-affiliated poetry series fundraising email mentions high‑profile figures The document is a private fundraising update for a humanities nonprofit. It lists celebrity and political participants in upcoming TV episodes but provides no concrete allegations, financial irregularities, or actionable leads. The only potentially investigable element is a vague request for a meeting with "Templeton" (likely the Templeton Foundation) and a mention of a $100K contribution, but no evidence of misconduct or illicit influence is presented. Key insights: Email from Elisa New (Harvard professor) to a donor discussing production of a poetry TV series.; Mentions high‑profile participants such as Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton, Ambassador Samantha Power, and others appearing in episodes.; References a $100,000 donation and a desire for further funding from the Templeton Foundation.
