The Philadelphia Inquirer’s reporting by Ryan W. Briggs and Max Marin shows Harris and Epstein had an ongoing business relationship that included multiple phone calls and at least one visit to Epstein’s Manhattan home, according to emails released by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The communications occurred after Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea for solicitation of prostitution with a minor but before his 2019 arrest on sex-trafficking charges, highlighting a long span of contact that raises questions about the nature of their dealings.
Importantly, the emails do not indicate Harris was involved in sexual misconduct. The records—part of a broader public release that encompasses millions of documents—are being unveiled in the context of the Epstein Files released by Congress.
Harris’ representative, Jonathan Rosen, reiterated that the relationship was strictly business, noting that Harris sought to keep Epstein out of his corporate dealings and even attempted to cancel meetings and have others return his calls to avoid Epstein’s involvement with Apollo.
The DOJ’s three million-plus released emails form part of a larger, ongoing release of Epstein Files, with more documents expected in the coming weeks, months, and years as investigators continue to sift through the material.
This developing story continues to unfold, with the latest documents drawing interest from fans and observers of the Commanders, 76ers, and Devils as more context emerges on Harris’s past communications with Epstein.
