NFL to Review Giants Co-Owner Steve Tisch’s Emails With Jeffrey Epstein

League standards hold owners to a higher bar than criminal law.

Overview

  • Hours before Roger Goodell’s Super Bowl week address, the NFL said it will review reports and Steve Tisch’s response, pledging to "look into the matter to understand the facts."
  • The Justice Department’s Jan. 30 release includes 2013 emails in which Jeffrey Epstein appeared to connect Tisch with women, with Tisch asking if some were "pro," "working girls," or "civilians."
  • The files reference Tisch at least 440 times among millions of records and show social exchanges such as a Giants suite invitation and an offer to visit Epstein’s private island.
  • Tisch, 76, called the relationship a brief association involving "adult women," said he declined invitations, and stated he never visited the island.
  • Coverage notes there are no criminal charges or a known criminal investigation involving Tisch, though the NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy subjects owners to heightened scrutiny.
