In a bombshell development in the US Government’s ongoing Department of Justice investigation, Josh Harris, the co-owner of the Washington Commanders, Philadelphia 76ers, and Recent Jersey Devils, has been connected to the deceased trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Breaking down the situation on the Philadelphia Inquirer, Ryan W. Briggs and Max Marin revealed that Harris and Epstein had communicated on multiple occasions over time, even when the conversations weren’t of an explicit nature.
“Jeffrey Epstein and Sixers co-owner Josh Harris had an ongoing business relationship that included quite a few phone calls and at the very least one visit to Epstein’s home in Manhattan, in response to emails released Friday by the U.S. Department of Justice,” Briggs and Marin wrote.
“The emails don’t contain any indication that Harris was involved with sexual misconduct. The records — buried throughout the three million documents made public Friday as a part of the congressionally ordered release of the Epstein Files — make clear a yearslong correspondence that occurred after Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea for solicitation of prostitution with a minor, but before his 2019 arrest on child sex trafficking charges.”
In an announcement on Harris’ behalf, Jonathan Rosen noted that the pair’s relationship was solely about business, with Harris attempting to maintain Epstein out of dealings along with his business.
“Harris sought to stop Epstein’s attempts to develop a company relationship with Apollo,” he said. “As these emails indicate, Harris sought to avoid meeting with Epstein, canceling meetings and having others return his calls.”
With over 3 million emails released to the general public and more to are available in the forthcoming weeks, months, and years, this can be a developing story.
