The director of the first lady's upcoming documentary has been spotted in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
On Friday (December 19), the Department of Justice shared around 300,000 pages of documents related to the late convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.
In the days since, the batches have been going viral with some very rich and famous faces making an appearance.
It is important to note images of people snapped with the late sex trafficker do not imply or suggest any wrongdoing. Many of the people photographed have denied any knowledge of the financier's crimes.

Among the hefty files include images of former president Bill Clinton, singers Michael Jackson, Diana Ross and Mick Jagger, and disgraced Royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
However, eagle-eyed viewers have spotted another familiar face among the files - Hollywood director Brett Ratner, who is currently directing a documentary about Melania Trump.
Ratner can be seen posing alongside the late French model agent and associate of Epstein, Jean-Luc Brunel, who is shirtless in the snap and is being hugged by Ratner.
Brunel died by suicide from his jail cell in Paris in 2022 after facing charges of raping a minor.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's accuser Virginia Giuffre also alleged she had sex with Brunel when she was a minor.
Giuffre died at the age of 41 this year.
Meanwhile, Ratner, 56, has been accused of sexual assault and harassment by as many as six women, including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge. Ratner has denied all the accusations against him.
Ratner's new movie, Melania, marks his first major directorial project in more than 10 years since many of his business deals and film projects were canceled in light of the allegations.
The first lady has teased the show will contain behind-the-scenes footage of the Trump family, including their move to the White House in January this year. It is set to drop in theatres on January 30.
The news comes as Trump himself also appeared in the latest Epstein files drop, which disappeared from the DOJ website before being reinstated again days later.
The image in question was taken in one of Epstein's homes of a collection of framed images in a cabinet.
The open drawer appears filled with images of famous people, including Trump and Epstein.
The POTUS has vehemently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. There is also no suggestion that the pictures imply any wrongdoing.
Some other rather mysterious images, like a scanned copy of the book Massage for Dummies, a 119-page grand jury filing that's entirely redacted and a police report, where a young woman apparently claimed Epstein had threatened to burn her house down, were also among the files.
Epstein died by suicide at age 66 in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges.
UNILAD has contacted Ratner's media company RatPac Entertainment for comment.
