Epstein Files Expose Ties to Bestselling Authors, Academics
The DOJ released 3 million pages of Epstein files exposing connections to authors, academics, and public figures but revealing little new evidence of criminal conduct, officials said.
- On Friday, the Department of Justice released Epstein-related emails referencing cultural figures, prompting David A. Ross to resign from the School of Visual Arts.
- After the Department of Justice's mandatory disclosure last Friday, journalists and news organisations reviewed and published emails, logs, and notes, while observers warn the release mixes substantiated records with thinly sourced accusations.
- Emails show Noam Chomsky sent Epstein advice on press, and records reveal Kosslyn visited Epstein in jail on September 20 and 21, 2008, with his name on page 45 of the log.
- Victims' allegations resurfaced and a programme funded by Epstein was closed after links were discovered, with files referencing claims by Virginia Giuffre and others. Alan Dershowitz is also mentioned in the documents.
- Observers caution that the Epstein files flood social media with thinly sourced accusations, enabling partisan attacks and causing grave reputational harm to public intellectuals and academics named in the files.
