The connection between New York Giants owner Steve Tisch and infamous predator Jeffrey Epstein has deepened, according to recent reports. One report states that Epstein introduced Tisch to at least four women over the course of a few months in the spring of 2013.
In a new report from The Athletic, the link between New York Giants owner Steve Tisch and Jeffrey Epstein has been further expanded on, including the revelation that Epstein introduced Tisch to “at least” four women after the pair met for breakfast in April 2013. Tisch, however, has been claiming he only had a “brief association” with Epstein.
One email in the Epstein files, for example, sees Tisch thanking Epstein for introducing him to a young Tahitian, telling the convicted criminal that “she is adorable.” The report also alleges that Tisch invited one woman to Boston “repeatedly” while he was in town for the NFL’s owners meetings.
Jeffrey Epstein allegedly introduced New York Giants owner Steve Tisch to multiple women, with the pair sharing numerous email exchanges
Tisch and Epstein began exchanging emails about women in ribald terms. Pulling from his catalog of candidates, Epstein provided Tisch options: an aspiring actress with a “10 a–” a microbiology major at a university, an “exotic” Tahitian woman, who Epstein reassured Tisch was not a “working girl.” During one exchange, Epstein appeared to have a moment of hesitation. He wrote: “send me a number to call I don’t like records of these conversations.”
But the two men continued emailing extensively. “I am happy to have you as a new but obviously shared interest friend,” Epstein wrote Tisch. In May 2013, Epstein emailed Tisch: “New one for you.” Tisch tried to meet that woman — he repeatedly invited her to Boston, where NFL owners were scheduled to meet — but the emails indicate they didn’t connect.

During Wednesday’s explosive and shocking Congressional questioning ofU.S. attorney general Pam Bondi, she was specifically asked about the nature of the relationship between Tisch and Epstein.
“Do these emails constitute credible evidence — not proof, but credible evidence — warranting further investigation into whether Steve Tisch was involved in Epstein’s criminal conduct? Do you think, yes or no?” Democratic Representative Zoe Lofgren (Cal.) asked Bondi.
“I’m not going to play a yes-no game with you but I will answer the question to the best of my ability,” Bondi said. “As I said, we will look and investigate any case involving any victim. I’m not familiar — there were three million pages, of course — with that email, but of course we will look into anything.”
Neither the Giants nor the NFL have released a new statement regarding these latest connections between Tisch and Epstein. When asked about the connection between the two at the Super Bowl, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was largely deflective.
“Absolutely we will look at all the facts,” Goodell said. “We’ll look at the context of those and try to understand that. We’ll look at how that falls under the (league personal conduct) policy. I think we’ll take one step at a time. Let’s get the facts first.”
Tisch, a 76 year old film producer, is the son of former Giants co-owner Preston Robert Tisch, ecame chairman and Executive Vice President of the Giants in 2005.
