Epstein Seeks Chomsky’s Counsel on Hostile Press In February 2019 Epstein emailed Noam Chomsky asking whether to “defend myself” or “ignore” the “putrid” media narrative surrounding the sex‑trafficking allegations, describing the coverage as spiralling out of control. Chomsky’s reply, attributed to him, urged Epstein to ignore the press, called the public reaction “hysteria,” and warned that “vultures dearly want” the story to spread[1]. The exchange appears in the latest batch of documents from the U.S. government’s Epstein investigation[1].

Long‑Term Chomsky‑Epstein Exchanges and 2023 Denial Earlier releases revealed a multi‑year correspondence in which Epstein and Chomsky discussed academic papers, arranged meetings, and even invited Epstein to stay at Chomsky’s homes, indicating a relationship beyond the 2019 emails[1]. In a 2023 Wall Street Journal interview, Chomsky downplayed the connection, stating the first response to inquiries is “it is none of your business” and that he met Epstein only occasionally[1]. The documents do not imply any wrongdoing by Chomsky, and his name appears solely in the email exchange[1].

Steve Tisch Requests Women From Epstein in 2013 An April 26 2013 email shows Giants co‑owner Steve Tisch asking Epstein for a “very sweet girl” he had met at Epstein’s house, with Epstein promising to “get all info” and later describing another woman as a “Russian civilian who rarely tells the full truth, but fun”[2]. Tisch followed up on June 10, requesting a “tahitian … exotic” woman, and Epstein supplied a redacted name while denying she was a “working girl”[2]. Tisch later told CNN he regrets the contact, never visited Epstein’s island, and called Epstein “a terrible person,” noting no criminal charges have been filed against him[2].

Investigation Release Shows No Charges for Either Party Both email collections were released as part of the U.S. government’s ongoing Epstein investigation, providing new insight into private communications but not constituting evidence of criminal conduct[1][2]. No charges have been brought against Steve Tisch, and the presence of Chomsky’s name in the correspondence does not indicate any legal liability[1][2]. The releases highlight how high‑profile individuals interacted with Epstein before his 2019 arrest and subsequent death[1][2].
