Jeffrey Epstein's circle of friends and associates is part of how he maintained his influence, even when his crimes were known. He traded in the kinds of access and facetime that even the most powerful people crave.
The CIA director, Goldman's top lawyer, Noam Chomsky, the Bard College president, a Kissinger consultant and a Rothschild. They all met Epstein in the years after his conviction, new documents show.
Mr. Botstein, 76, president of Bard College since 1975, had about two dozen meetings scheduled with Epstein over about four years, which were mostly visits to the townhouse.
“I was an unsuccessful fundraiser and actually the object of a little bit of sadism on his part in dangling philanthropic support,” said Mr. Botstein. “That was my relationship with him.”
“We looked him up, and he was a convicted felon for a sex crime,” he said. Bard has a large program providing education to prisoners, he said. “We believe in rehabilitation.”
