"I Just read the Post. Now the floodgates will open you can expect Vanity Fair and NYMag to pile on,"
"My view is that the quicker you get out ahead of this and define the story and who you are on your terms in the NYT, the better it will be for you."
"I know this is tough and hard for you, but remember jail may [be] bad, but it is not forever,"
Emails show a New York Times journalist advised Jeffrey Epstein to proactively give an interview to shape public perception as allegations of sexually abusing minors emerged before his 2008 conviction. The journalist warned that negative coverage in the Post would trigger follow-ups from Vanity Fair and New York Magazine and urged Epstein to get out ahead and define the story and who he is on his terms in the Times. The journalist expressed sympathy, noting jail 'may be bad, but it is not forever.' The journalist recalled a 2002 New York Magazine profile that portrayed Epstein as an enigmatic, highly successful financier praised by many high‑profile associates. The exchanges show active media-strategy advice offered to a figure facing serious criminal allegations.
