Epstein Turned to Noam Chomsky to Rehab Image [View all]

“With Jeffrey Epstein’s reputation in tatters following a 2018 Miami Herald investigation into his sex crimes – and how he evaded serious consequences – the financier hit on a plan: He would produce a documentary to present himself in a favorable light,” the Miami Herald reports.

“He had several ideas about who could appear on it and provide favorable testimonies, emails and phone messages how.”

“And one of the first friends to allegedly give Epstein the thumbs up was famed left-wing academic Noam Chomsky.”
