SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The NFL will look into New York Giants co-owner
Steve Tisch and his association with Jeffrey Epstein after his name
showed up more than 400 times in files released by the U.S. Justice
Department regarding Epstein. |

“Absolutely we will look at all the facts,” Commissioner Roger
Goodell said Monday. "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 said last week he knew Epstein and that they “exchanged
emails about adult women” and “discussed movies, philanthropy
and investments.” But Tisch, 76, denied going to Epstein’s
island and was never charged in the investigation.
Epstein killed himself in a New York jail cell in August 2019, a
month after being indicted on federal sex trafficking charges.
The documents were disclosed under the Epstein Files
Transparency Act, the law enacted after months of public and
political pressure that requires the government to open its
files on the late financier and his confidant and onetime
girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.
