Giants<\/a> co-owner Steve Tisch claimed his association with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was \u201cbrief,\u201d but reporting in The Athletic<\/a> and the Wall Street Journal<\/a> on the email exchanges between Epstein and Tisch<\/a>, 76 dating back to 2013 shed new light on the interplay between Tisch and Epstein regarding the young women in his nefarious web of influence.<\/p>\n

Epstein was already a convicted sex offender when he met Tisch, but he identified Tisch as \u201ca new but obviously shared interest friend,\u201d according to some of the 3 million emails revealed in the Department of Justice\u2019s recent release of the Epstein Files.<\/p>\n

A Russian model who had sexual relations with Epstein \u2014 \u201cwe had sex\u201d and \u201cI did massage for u non-stop\u201d \u2014 did not believe Epstein had held up his end of their arrangement to introduce her to well-connected individuals like \u201csome big movie producer.\u201d In April 2013, Epstein gave that woman\u2019s email to Tisch, a Hollywood producer and the Giants\u2019 co-owner. And that woman reported back to Epstein: \u201cHe\u2019s really great man!! Thank you.\u201d<\/p>\n

A different woman, described by Epstein as Tahitian, had known Epstein since around 2010. The name in their email exchange matches that of a woman who told Radio France One this month that she had met Epstein in 2010 and he had promised to help her career.<\/p>\n

Instead, she said, Epstein controlled her life. The woman told the outlet that Epstein introduced her to an \u201cAmerican producer\u201d in 2013, and one evening they went to his New York residence on the top floor of a building with a view of the city. As reported by the Athletic, public records show Tisch was renting a $60,000 a month, 13-room penthouse in the Trump Park Avenue building in 2013, though the outlet\u2019s reporting did not directly identify the \u201cproducer\u201d as Tisch.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The producer] asked what I hoped to make of my life,\u201d the woman said. \u201cI told him about my plans \u2026 I could see he was watching me talk, but he was not truly listening. \u2026 We sat down on a leather couch, a screen came down, and he showed me a [bike] race. I didn\u2019t really understand what I had to do with that story. Then he starts to put his hand on the inside of my thighs. I threw out my hand and I said no. \u2026 He said to me: \u2018You are a very smart girl.\u2019 \u2026 I ran. I rushed into the elevator. I don\u2019t even know how I got myself home.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Tisch-Epstein relationship was highlighted during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo these emails constitute credible evidence, not proof, but credible evidence warranting further investigation into whether Steve Tisch was involved in Epstein\u2019s criminal conduct?\u201d California democratic representative Zoe Lofgren asked Attorney General Pam Bondi.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you think yes or no?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bondi responded: \u201cI\u2019m not gonna play a yes-no game with you, but I will answer the question to the best of my ability. As I said, we will look and investigate any case involving any victim. I\u2019m not familiar \u2014 there were 3 million pages of course \u2014 with that email, but of course we will look into anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Giants have taken no action beyond releasing a statement from Tisch on Jan. 30, the day the emails surfaced, in which Tisch claimed \u201cI did not take [Epstein] up on any of his invitations.\u201d<\/p>\n

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell<\/a> so far has declined to open an official league investigation, as well.<\/p>\n

He only said the league would \u201clook at all the facts\u201d and \u201cthe context of those.\u201d And he told a reporter at his Super Bowl press conference that \u201cyou may be getting ahead of yourself\u201d when it was suggested Tisch could be subject to the NFL\u2019s personal conduct policy.<\/p>\n

The last exchange between Epstein and Tisch in the recently released documents came in August 2017, more than four years after Epstein\u2019s April 2013 invitation to Tisch to join him for breakfast.<\/p>\n

Tisch and his billionaire family control the sprawling Loews Corp. insurance and hospitality business. His cousin Jessica Tisch is the New York City Police Commissioner.<\/p>\n

In May 2013, one connection with another woman Tisch had met through Epstein soured, per The Athletic.<\/p>\n

The woman emailed Epstein that \u201cSteve\u201d has \u201cbeen so weird.\u201d He wanted their relationship to be more than friends, she wrote. She expressed that she did not feel the same way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won\u2019t forgive myself,\u201d she wrote. \u201cHe\u2019ll just suck my youth without helping me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Giants co-owner Steve Tisch claimed his association with late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was \u201cbrief,\u201d but reporting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":748784,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2067],"tags":[103829,7,519,45925,6518,1917,56,2321,2469,6,6438],"class_list":{"0":"post-748783","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-giants","8":"tag-epstein-files","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-giants","11":"tag-jeffrey-epstein","12":"tag-john-mara","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-giants","15":"tag-newyork","16":"tag-newyorkgiants","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-steve-tisch"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116062331225416061","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748783\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/748784"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
