New York Giants’ co-owner Steve Tisch released a statement late Friday night after being named hundreds of times in Justice Department documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that were released earlier in the day.
The statement read:
“We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy, and investments. I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.”
In files released on Friday under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Tisch’s name appears 440 times in the more than three million documents that were released.
Tisch, 76, is the team’s executive vice president.
The Athletic first reported Tisch’s name surfacing in the files. Esptein, a convicted sex trafficker, committed suicide in jail while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Per The Athletic, Tisch received “scouting reports” on multiple women.
Here are a couple of email exchanges between Epstein and Tisch that The Athletic reported:
n May 2013, Epstein emailed Tisch, and he responded, “Still in NFL meeting.” Their exchange continued that afternoon.
“I can invite the (Russian) … to meet if you like,” Epstein responded.
“Is she fun?” Tisch emailed a minute later.
In June 2013, Tisch asked Epstein about a specific woman. Epstein responded: “(Tahitian) speaks mostly french exotic”
“Working girl?” Tisch wrote back.
“Never,” Epstein emailed.
That same month, Tisch emailed Epstein, apparently referencing a different woman they had discussed earlier: “Is my present in NYC?” Epstein replied, “Yes.” Tisch followed up early the next morning, “Can I get my surprise to take me to lunch tomorrow?”
In another exchange, Epstein wrote to Tisch: “Did you contact the great ass fake tit (name redacted) she’s a character, short term, has an older boyfriend going to acting school, a 10 ass.”
Tisch emailed back: “Thanks Jeffrey. Curious to know about (name redacted). I will contact (name redacted) … pro or civilian?”
Epstein responded, in part: “civilian, but Russian, and rarely tells the full truth, but fun.”
On April 26, 2013, in a conversation about ‘Ukrainian Girl,‘ Tisch wrote to Epstein “I am happy to have you as a new but obviously shared interest friend.”
The next day, in a conversation slugged “Re: Ukrainian Girl Date”, Epstein wrote to Tisch “send me a number to call I dont like records of these conversations.”
