No when. Chomsky, the ninety six year old legendary linguist and public intellectual, is facing renewed scrutiny this week following major revelations about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
According to multiple news outlets, including WBUR and Press TV, newly released congressional emails from November twelfth show that Chomsky maintained regular contact with Epstein years after the financier's two thousand and eight conviition for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
The emails, released by Republican members of the US House Oversight Committee revealed that Chomsky described his interactions with Epstein as a most valuable experience, and his wife, Valeria, wrote to Epstein in January twenty seventeen, expressing hope that she and Nome would see him again soon for his birthday celebration. The correspondence also shows Epstein offering Chomsky use of his properties in New York and New Mexico in twenty fifteen.
According to reporting from The Hindustan Times, the released documents include a letter of support attributed to Chomsky, though it remains undated. Chomsky has previously acknowledged receiving approximately two hundred and seventy thousand dollars from an account linked to Epstein during the resolution of his first marriage distribution, though he
has maintained that not one penny came directly from Epstein himself. NT, where Chomsky is Professor emeritus of MIT, declined to comment directly on his emails, but stated that it conducted a review of its Epstein relationships in twenty twenty and subsequently enhanced its gift acceptance policies. When w bur reached out to Chomsky's wife, Valeria for comment, she did not respond.
The timing of these revelations comes as President Trump recently signed legislation compelling the Justice Department to disclose additional Epstein files. This development has intensified scrutiny on Epstein's network of powerful associates across politics, academia, and business. It's worth noting that Chomsky has been largely absent from public life since suffering a stroke in twenty twenty four, and has been reportedly
convalescing in Brazil. According to media lens and updates from his longtime MIT assistant Bev Stole, Chomsky has not been writing corresponding or conducting interviews due to his health situation.
