NFL says it will look into Giants co-owner Steve Tisch's association with
Jeffrey Epstein
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) --- The NFL released a statement Monday saying it will
look into New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and his association with Jeffrey
Epstein after his name showed up more than 400 times in files released by the
U.S. Justice Department regarding Epstein.
The statement came before league Commissioner Roger Goodell was scheduled to
hold his annual state of the league address to kick off Super Bowl week.
"The league is aware of the reports and Steve's response," the statement read.
"Our office will look into the matter to understand the facts."
Tisch said last week he knew Epstein and they "exchanged emails about adult
women" and "discussed movies, philanthropy and investments." But Tisch, 76,
denied going to Epstein's island and was never charged in the investigation.
Epstein killed himself in a New York jail cell in August 2019, a month after
being indicted on federal sex trafficking charges.
The documents were disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the law
enacted after months of public and political pressure that requires the
government to open its files on the late financier and his confidant and
onetime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.
