Former U.S. Senator from Utah (2019-2025), former Governor of Massachusetts, and 2012 Republican presidential nominee. Appears in the Epstein files exclusively through news articles and political commentary saved in the email accounts of Epstein's associates -- including opinion pieces about Romney's 2012 Israel trip, Thomas Friedman articles about Romney's Sheldon Adelson connections, and commentary about Romney and Gingrich criticizing Obama's foreign policy.
All completely unrelated to Epstein's criminal activities. Named on the DOJ's February 2026 list of 305 politically exposed persons.
