Overview
- The NFL said it is aware of reports on Giants co-owner Steve Tisch’s 2013 correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein and will look into the matter to understand the facts.
- Roger Goodell told reporters the league will "look at all the facts" and determine whether to open a formal investigation based on what the review finds.
- Justice Department files released last week reference Tisch at least 440 times, largely in 2013 emails that include exchanges about introductions to women using phrases like "pro or civilian" and "my present."
- The emails also show Tisch inviting Epstein to a Giants suite and Epstein offering access to his Caribbean island, with at least one exchange occurring during an NFL meeting.
- Tisch said he had a brief association involving emails about adult women, denied visiting Epstein’s island, and has not been charged, while the NFL notes owners can face discipline for conduct detrimental to the league.
