Jeffrey Epstein’s Calendar Reveals the Names of Powerful People

A new trove of released documents has revealed that powerful people associated with Jeffrey Epstein even years after he was convicted as a sex offender.

That list of prominent people is wider than most people know – ant includes the nation’s top spy official, a college president and top women in the world of finance.

In 2014, director of the CIA since 2021 William Burns had three meetings scheduled with Epstein. At the time, he was deputy secretary of state.

Kathryn Ruemmler, a White House counsel under President Barack Obama, met with Epstein dozens of times after leaving the White House and before she scored a job as a top lawyer at Goldman Sachs Group. They also made plans to her to join him in Paris in 2015, and on his private Caribbean island in 2017.

President of Bard College Leon Botstein invited Epstein to visit, and he brought a group of young female guests to campus with him.

Noam Chomsky, a professor, author and political activist was also scheduled to fly with Epstein to his Manhattan townhouse in 2015. The townhouse is one of the locations where Epstein sexually abused female victims for years, many of whom were underage. Allegations include that he paid those young girls to recruit their friends to engage in sexual activity, too.

None of the above names are penned in Epstein’s “Black book” of contacts, or in the public flight logs of passengers who traveled on his private jet. But the documents show that Epstein did arrange meetings with each of them after he served time in jail in 2008 for sex crimes involving a teenage girl.

One thing the documents do not show, however, is the purpose of those meetings or whether every meeting took place as scheduled.

The Wall Street Journal says that most of the people on the list told them that they visited Epstein for reasons related to his wealth and connections. Some said they believed that he had served his time and was rehabilitated.

Even though Epstein has been dead for years, what he knew, who he knew, and who knew him continue to have far-reaching implications as the layers are peeled back one by one.
