SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The NFL will look intoNew York Giants co-owner Steve Tischand 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.
Epsteinkilled himself in a New York jail cellin August 2019, a month after being indicted on federal sex trafficking charges.
The documents were disclosed underthe Epstein Files Transparency Act, the law enacted aftermonths of public and political pressurethat requires the government toopen its fileson the late financier and his confidant and onetime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.
