Former National Security Advisor (2013-2017), U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations (2009-2013), and Domestic Policy Advisor to President Biden (2021-2023). Appears in 682 documents and 42 emails in the Epstein files, though no direct personal connection to Epstein has been publicly reported.
The most documented context is a February 2018 email exchange between Epstein and Steve Bannon, in which Epstein forwarded a Politico article about Rice's lawyer responding to questions about the Obama administration's concerns over sharing intelligence with the Trump transition team, responding: ‘spent two hours on conference with her yesterday. the flynn focus was clever.’ This email relates to post-election political surveillance disputes rather than any personal connection to Epstein. Rice is included on the DOJ's February 2026 list of 305 politically exposed persons appearing in the files. She does not appear in Epstein's black book or flight logs.
