Several Chicagoans and other people with once prominent Chicago connections are among hundreds of entries in the black-book Rolodex of Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender whose case is roiling national politics.

The local boldface names include two members of the Pritzker family—Tom and Nick—and Jenner & Block partner and former U.S. Attorney Anton Valukas.

Conrad Black, the former Sun-Times proprietor convicted of fraud and pardoned in May by President Donald Trump, is listed. So is Ron Burkle, the California investor who in the 1990s controlled the now-defunct Chicago supermarket chain Dominick's. Former Sears Holdings CEO and hedge fund manager Eddie Lampert is also included.

It's not clear to what extent, if any, which Chicago-related connections were business or personal with Epstein, a New York financier who was charged anew on Monday with child sex trafficking.

His nearly 100-page black book is crammed with celebrities like Mick Jagger, Jimmy Buffett, John Cleese and Courtney Love and prominent businessmen or politicians like Rupert Murdoch, Michael Bloomberg, Richard Branson and various Kennedys and Forbeses. Numbers and email addresses are mostly redacted.

The book is a decade old or more. It was obtained by Epstein's former house manager, who was nabbed trying to sell it for $50,000 to an attorney suing Epstein on behalf of victims, the now-expired gossip website Gawker reported in 2015. Now an annotated copy of it is on the internet.

Epstein's web of influential personalities, including one of his attorneys, Alan Dershowitz, is cited as a factor in a favorable plea deal he reached in 2008 with a federal prosecutor in Florida, Alexander Acosta, who is now U.S. secretary of labor.

Acosta this week spurned calls by top congressional Democrats and others to resign over the agreement, reached without the knowledge of alleged victims. Charged with paying underage girls for sex, Epstein served only 13 months, most of it on work-release.

Tom Pritzker is executive chairman of Hyatt Hotels. Nicholas Pritzker, a second cousin, is a former CEO of the lodging company's development arm and a venture capitalist and real estate developer living in California. Valukas, a former chairman of Jenner, gained national attention a decade ago as a court-appointed examiner in the bankruptcy case of Lehman Brothers Holdings, whose 2008 collapse helped trigger what became known as the Great Recession. None returned messages seeking comment.

Black, who was convicted in federal court here in 2007 of embezzlement and other charges and served 37 months, could not be reached for comment. Burkle and Lampert did not respond to a request for comment, either.

The Epstein fallout threatens political careers beyond Acosta's. Epstein's book lists 11 numbers for Trump, two for his wife, Melania, and others for former wife Ivana and daughter Ivanka. Trump, who has been photographed with Epstein and has invited him to his Mar-a-Lago resort, says he later distanced himself from Epstein.

Another extensive entry in Epstein's book is Leslie Wexner, the Ohio-based clothing magnate and founder of Victoria's Secret. Identified as Epstein's principal money-management client, Wexner also was the previous owner of Epstein's New York City mansion, where investigators recently found a large cache of child pornography.

Epstein pleaded not guilty to charges brought this week by the U.S. attorney in Manhattan accusing him of trafficking in minors as young as 14. Acosta said he welcomed the move, which he described as based on new evidence and testimony not available a decade ago.

Epstein has been described as a billionaire, but that status may be illusory. Bloomberg News reported that little is known about his clients or business beyond his properties. The Manhattan mansion is estimated to be worth at least $77 million, according to a court documents.

He also has properties in New Mexico, Paris and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he has a private island, and a Palm Beach estate with an assessed value of more than $12 million. He shuttles between them by private jet and has at least 15 cars, including seven Chevrolet Suburbans, according to federal authorities, Bloomberg said.

This story has been updated to correct that Nicholas Pritzker was formerly CEO of Hyatt Hotels' development arm, not Hyatt.
