SHANNON LONGWORTH: NEW INFORMATION IS OUT REGARDING JEFFREY EPSTEIN’S NETWORK. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REVEALED THAT EPSTEIN’S PERSONAL CALENDAR SHOWS HE HAD A WIDE RANGE OF HIGH-PROFILE CONTACTS, INCLUDING THE DIRECTOR OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, EXECUTIVES FROM GOLDMAN SACHS, AND RENOWNED SCHOLAR NOAM CHOMSKY.

THE JOURNAL GOT AHOLD OF A TROVE OF EPSTEIN’S DOCUMENTS, WHICH INCLUDE HIS SCHEDULES. THEY REPORTEDLY REVEAL THAT EPSTEIN HAD DOZENS OF MEETINGS PLANNED WITH SOME OF THESE INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE…ALL *AFTER* HE’D SERVED PRISON TIME AS A SEX OFFENDER FOR SOLICITING PROSTITUTION INVOLVING A MINOR.

CIA DIRECTOR WILLIAM BURNS IS APPARENTLY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. THE JOURNAL REPORTED THAT, IN 2014, WHEN BURNS WAS THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE, HE HAD THREE MEETINGS SCHEDULED WITH EPSTEIN. A CIA SPOKESWOMAN COMMENTED ON THE MATTER, SAYING “THE DIRECTOR DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM, OTHER THAN THAT HE WAS INTRODUCED AS AN EXPERT IN THE FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR AND OFFERED GENERAL ADVICE ON TRANSITION TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR.” AND “THEY HAD NO RELATIONSHIP.”

ANOTHER CONTACT WAS NOAM CHOMSKY, THE WORLD-RENOWNED LINGUIST AND POLITICAL ACTIVIST. THE TWO WERE SCHEDULED TO FLY TO MANHATTAN TOGETHER TO HAVE DINNER AT EPSTEIN’S HOME IN 2015. WHEN THE JOURNAL REACHED OUT FOR COMMENT ON THEIR RELATIONSHIP, CHOMSKY SAID IN AN EMAIL, “FIRST RESPONSE IS THAT IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. OR ANYONE’S. SECOND IS THAT I KNEW HIM AND WE MET OCCASIONALLY.”

ACCORDING TO THE JOURNAL, EPSTEIN ALSO HAD DOZENS OF MEETINGS WITH KATHRYN RUEMMLER—FORMER WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA AND CURRENT ATTORNEY AT GOLDMAN SACHS. HE’D REPORTEDLY PLANNED FOR HER TO JOIN HIS TRIP TO PARIS IN 2015 AND A TRIP TO THE CARIBBEAN IN 2017. RUEMMLER SAID SHE REGRETS EVER KNOWING EPSTEIN.

HE WAS CHARGED WITH SEX TRAFFICKING CONSPIRACY IN 2019, AND HE COMMITTED SUICIDE IN JAIL BEFORE HE COULD GO TO TRIAL.
