What did NY Giants co-owner Steve Tisch say about his relationship to Jeffrey Epstein?
NY Giants co-owner Steve Tisch has appeared in the Epstein files.
New documents released this week by the United States Department of Justice have thrust New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch into an unwelcome spotlight after his name appeared repeatedly in correspondence with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The files, part of a massive tranche of material made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, contain thousands of emails linking Epstein with high-profile figures such as Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Bill Clinton.
Among these are hundreds of messages involving Tisch, prompting questions about their interaction and Tisch’s response to that scrutiny.

Tish on Epstein: “I did not take him up on any of his invitations”
The disclosed emails largely date from 2013 and show a series of exchanges between Epstein and Tisch in which Epstein appears to facilitate introductions to various women. In several of the threads, Epstein sends descriptions of individuals and Tisch responds with queries about them, including whether they are “pro or civilian” or labelled in other suggestive terms. Some messages also reference social plans, football games and potential meetings.
Faced with the public release of these records, Tisch, via the Giants, issued a carefully worded statement:
“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 exchanges released tell a somewhat different story:
In May 2013, Epstein sent an email to Tisch: “I can invite the (Russian) … to meet if you like,” he wrote.
“Is she fun?” Tisch replied, only a minute later.
A month later, in June, Epstein responded: “(Tahitian) speaks mostly french exotic”, to which Tisch asked: “Working girl?”
“Never,” Epstein concluded.
In the same month, it was Tisch who reinitiated the contact, emailing Epstein, apparently referencing a different woman they had discussed earlier: “Is my present in NYC?” he said.
Epstein replied with a word - “yes” - to which Tisch followed up early the next morning with “Can I get my surprise to take me to lunch tomorrow?”
And it doesn’t stop there. In another exchange, Epstein asked: “Did you contact the great ass fake tit (name redacted) she’s a character, short term, has an older boyfriend going to acting school, a 10 ass.”
Tisch replied: “Thanks Jeffrey. Curious to know about (name redacted). I will contact (name redacted) … pro or civilian?”
