Bard College Under Epstein Probe

The House Judiciary Committee is launching a fiery probe into Bard College, seeking to uncover how Jeffrey Epstein allegedly exploited academic ties—including visits to Epstein’s homes, fundraising efforts, and even a Russian dual-enrollment program—to mask his sex trafficking operation. Rep. Jamie Raskin demands interviews with outgoing president Leon Botstein and all records tied to Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and associates since 2011, as Bard’s board recently ousted Botstein over his ties to Epstein. Emails reveal Epstein actively tried to funnel victims into Bard and its Russian program, while Botstein defended his actions by saying he’d accept donations from anyone to do good work. This investigation comes just one month after Bard’s board voted to remove Botstein, amid growing scrutiny over how elite institutions may have enabled Epstein’s crimes.
