US EditionEpstein emails reveal enduring ties with influential figures even after his sex crime conviction
Emails reveal Epstein maintained influential networks with politicians, academics, and business leaders from 2009 to 2019 despite his sex-crime conviction, according to House Oversight Committee documents.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. House Oversight Committee released thousands of documents revealing Jeffrey Epstein's continuous communications with influential figures from his Florida sentence through months before his arrest, showing he maintained ties as a registered sex offender.
- Among the findings, the documents reveal contacts reached out to support Epstein amid legal troubles or sought introductions and advice within a diverse network including Noam Chomsky, Steve Bannon, business executives, and reporters.
- In specific exchanges, Laurence Krauss sought Epstein's advice on handling harassment allegations, while Epstein offered residences and arranged meetings with leaders for Noam Chomsky.
- The documents show the emails do not implicate Epstein's contacts in crimes, while Larry Summers expressed `great regrets in my life` and called the association `a major error of judgement`. The case has attracted conspiracy theorists seeking cover-up proof.
- Longer term, the emails suggest Jeffrey Epstein had already built an enormous network of wealthy and influential friends and brokered introductions with global elites and political figures.
