Epstein’s newly-released calendar includes planned meets with CIA chief, college head and former White House counsel

The list of Jeffrey Epstein’s possible associates now includes America’s spy chief, a college president and a former Obama White House counsel, according to a collection of previously unreported documents that included the convicted sex offender’s schedules.

The trove of papers, obtained by the Wall Street Journal, show scheduled meetings between Epstein and several prominent people, including three with William Burns, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency, when he was the deputy secretary of state in 2014.

None of the names appeared in Epstein’s “black book” of contacts, the Journal reported, or in the flight logs of passengers who traveled on his private jet.

It’s also not clear what the purpose of each meeting was, or if every appointment actually happened, the paper said.

Epstein, a registered sex offender, brokered the meetings after he served time in prison in 2008 for a sex crime involving a teenage girl, the report said.

The documents show Noam Chomsky, the author, activist and professor, was scheduled to fly with Epstein and have dinner at his Manhattan home in 2015.

Leon Botstein, the longtime president of Bard College, met Epstein several times and even invited him to the campus, according to the Journal.

Kathryn Ruemmler – who served as White House counsel under President Barack Obama – met with Epstein dozens of times in the years between her White House career and her next job as an attorney at Goldman Sachs, the report said.

Epstein had also planned for her to be on two trips with him: a 2015 visit to Paris and a 2017 journey to his private island in the Caribbean, according to the Journal.

Most of the people included in the thousands of pages of emails and schedules from 2013 to 2017 told the Journal that they met with Epstein because of his wealth and connections.
