Emails between New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein are among the millions of documents released by the Justice Department on Friday.
In many of the emails, Epstein discusses setting up Tisch with various women. All of the women's names are redacted out, as is Tisch's email address.
The Giants released a statement from Tisch later Friday, describing their relationship as brief and Epstein as a terrible person:
"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."
The emails are mostly from 2013, five years after Epstein was convicted of procuring a child for prostitution. There is alsoone exchange from 2017in which Tisch tells Epstein he was talking "fondly" about him with a friend and wants to "stay in touch." Epstein was charged with sex trafficking minors in 2019 and died in his cell a month later from what investigatorsruled as a suicide.
In another email exchange with the subject line "Ukrainian Girl," Tisch asks "pro or civilian?" about a woman he met through Epstein,to which Epstein responds"do you want to know if she as sweet as she seems? boyfriends? trustworthy, etc. she is earnest. is a civilian, but russian, and rarely tells the full truth , but fun."
Epstein then sends a second reply, saying "send me a number to call I dont like records of these conversations." He later tells Tisch he "did very well" with an acquaintance, who is "a little freaked by the age difference."
A different conversationhas Tisch outright asking if one woman, described by Epstein as "tahitian" and "exotic," is a "working girl."
There are more conversations, such as when Tisch asks if he "can expect 'trouble'" while discussing a visit to Epstein's house. Epstein responds by offering to invite "the russain [sic]," to which Tisch asks "Is she fun?"
At other times, the twomake plans for Epstein to attend a Giants game in Tisch's suite. Epstein alsoinvites Tisch to his now-infamous Caribbean island, which Tisch says he never visited.
There is one emailin which Tisch introduces himself to a woman and states "Jeffrey Epstein is very excited about you and I meeting each other I like that idea Do you?" He later adds "Your picture is great!"
Overall, the name "Steve Tisch" yields 440 results when searchingthe online Epstein Library, though many of those are calendar entries and different emails from the same conversation.
Tisch is the son of Preston Robert Tisch, who purchased a 50% stake of the Mara family in 1991 and died in 2005. He officially holds the title of Giants chairman and has also worked for decades as a Hollywood producer. Among his credits are "Risky Business," "Forrest Gump," "American History X" and the "Equalizer" series.
Among his projects currently in the works is "Madden,"the Nicolas Cage-starring biopic of legendary coach and broadcast John Madden.
