Gregory Bovino, the Border Patrol field leader, made disparaging remarks in reference to the U.S. attorney in Minnesota, an Orthodox Jew, people with knowledge of the phone call said.

Crowds rallied in dozens of cities across the nation on Saturday to protest the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, hoping to build on momentum from demonstrations on Friday against immigration enforcement operations targeting Minneapolis and other liberal-leaning cities.
Most of the protests on Saturday were held without incident. But in Minneapolis — where federal agents have clashed repeatedly with demonstrators in recent two months — a rally was punctured with moments of tension, as sheriffs’ deputies made arrests that some protesters deemed violent.

The files appeared to contain at least 4,500 documents that mentioned Mr. Trump. One was a summary that officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation assembled last summer of more than a dozen tips from the public involving Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein, according to emails released by the Department of Justice on Friday.

According to released emails, Mr. Epstein drafted notes to and about Mr. Gates in 2013, suggesting that he engaged in extramarital sex. A representative of Mr. Gates’s called the accusations “absolutely absurd and completely false.”
In one email, Mr. Epstein wrote that he had helped Mr. Gates acquire drugs “in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls,” and that he had facilitated rendezvous for Mr. Gates with married women.

The files revealed that Mr. Lutnick, now the commerce secretary, planned a visit to Mr. Epstein’s island in 2012, though he previously said he severed ties with Mr. Epstein around 2005.
Reached by phone on Friday, Mr. Lutnick said he could not comment about the island visit because he had not seen the latest Epstein documents.
“I spent zero time with him,” Mr. Lutnick said. He then hung up.
The documents suggest the visit did occur. The gathering was set for Dec. 23, 2012. A day later, an assistant to Mr. Epstein forwarded Mr. Lutnick a message from Mr. Epstein: “Nice seeing you,” it said.

Mr. Epstein exchanged multiple messages throughout 2013 with Mr. Tisch, a co-owner of the New York Giants football team.
In some of the exchanges, Mr. Epstein appeared to be connecting Mr. Tisch with women of specific ethnicities and described their bodies in vulgar terms.
On more than one occasion, Mr. Tisch used slang terms to ask Mr. Epstein if a woman he was describing was a sex worker. In one of those exchanges, in April 2013, Mr. Epstein asked Mr. Tisch to send him his phone number because he did not want a record of the conversations.
