Giants co-owner Steve Tisch responds after emails between him and Jeffrey Epstein included in latest DOJ drop
New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch addressed controversy surrounding his presence in the recently released files related to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein.
Tisch released a statement through the Giants, claiming he never traveled to Epstein’s infamous island.
“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,” Tisch said.

Some of the exchanges between Tisch and Epstein appear to show conversations about women.

Tisch’s family owns about 45% of the Giants. Alongside fellow co-owner John Mara, Tisch assumed control of the team in 2005 after his father had purchased a majority stake in the team in 1991.
Under Mara and Tisch’s co-ownership, the Giants won two Super Bowls and recently hired John Harbaugh as head coach.
Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan federal jail cell on Aug. 10, 2019. His death was later ruled a suicide.
He faced up to 45 years in prison for crimes related to the sex trafficking of minors.
