A newly-uncovered private calendar belonging to Jeffrey Epstein reveals deceased human trafficker scheduled meetings with the Biden administration’s current CIA director and former Obama White House officials.
According to new documents obtained by the Wall Street Journal, Epstein planned meetings with elite members of government and civic life, including Joe Biden’s CIA Director, William Burns, left wing anarchist Noam Chomsky, and Obama administration officials Leon Botstein and Kathryn Ruemmler.
Other prominent Epstein connections include former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Harvard University professor Martin Nowak, anthropologist Helen Fisher, former Starbucks Corp. and FedEx Corp. board member Joshua Cooper Ramo, and Ariane De Rothschild, CEO of Edmond de Rothschild Group.
Barak served as Prime Minister of Israel from 1999-2001, when he was defeated by the Likud party and subsequently resigned from leadership of the Labor Party.
More recently, he was the country’s Minister of Defense from 2007-2013. An ill-fated political comeback in 2019 only saw his party gain five seats, and Barak did not enter the knesset.
The Rothschilds are an international banking family which Jewish hate experts at the ADL report are subject to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories claiming the family has influenced European and international world finances and conflicts since the 19th century.
The meetings were notably scheduled after Epstein was charged in 2008 for soliciting a minor. The WSJ was unable to determine the purpose of the meetings, as well as if the meetings actually took place.
“Director Burns recalls being introduced by a mutual friend in Washington, DC, and then met with him once briefly in New York City, about a decade ago as the Director was preparing to leave government service,” CIA spokeswoman Tammy Kupperman Thorp told Fox News Digital.
“The Director did not know anything about him, other than he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice on transition to the private sector. The Director does not recall any further contact, including receiving a ride to the airport. They had no relationship.”
Ruemmler, former White House counsel for former President Barack Obama, met with the disgraced pedophile dozens of times after her time in the Obama administration, and before becoming a top lawyer for Goldman Sachs in 2020. Ruemmler was planning to go to Paris with Epstein in 2015 and his private island in the Caribbean, commonly dubbed “Pedophile Island,” in 2017, the documents show.
A spokesperson for Goldman Sachs downplayed Ruemmlers relationship with Epstein when she was employed at Latham & Watkins LLP, and denied that she had travelled with him. Addtionally, the spokesperson revealed that Epstein had introduced her to “potential legal clients” like billionaire Microsoft co-founder and vaccine enthusiast Bill Gates.
“Many of Ms. Ruemmler’s contacts related to a potential representation involving the Gates Foundation, a representation of the Edmond de Rothschild bank, and other business opportunities,” the Goldman Sachs spokesperson said.
“I regret ever knowing Jeffrey Epstein,” Ruemmler said, according to the WSJ report.
Most of the individuals who spoke to the WSJ said they met with Epstein to network with powerful people and get donations. Botstein, president of Bard College, claimed he sought to get Epstein to donate to his school.
“I was an unsuccessful fundraiser and actually the object of a little bit of sadism on his part in dangling philanthropic support,” Botstein said. “That was my relationship with him.”
“We looked him up, and he was a convicted felon for a sex crime,” Botstein said. “We believe in rehabilitation.”
Chomsky, who during the Biden administration’s COVID-19 mass vaccination campaign called for discrimination against unvaccinated Americans, claimed that he and Epstein merely discussed politics and higher education.

The wealthy pedophile planned to meet with the leftist professor between the years of 2015 and 2016, and donated roughly $850,000 to MIT, where Chomsky teaches linguistics emeritus, in 2002 through 2017, the WSJ reports.
MIT claimed it donated the Epstein money to organizations that support victims of sexual abuse.
“The reporting covered 2015-16, when what was known about Mr. Epstein was that he had been sentenced for a crime, served his sentence, which wiped the slate clean according to US law and norms,” Chomsky said.
“The gossip column chose not to publish the extensive information they have about far worse criminals who not only donate to MIT and other institutions but, far more serious of course, are greatly honored by them,” he added.
Epstein was found dead in his jail cell in New York City in 2019 in an alleged suicide that took place ahead of his sex trafficking trial, leading some to believe that he was deliberately murdered before the sensitive legal spectacle could take place to protect his rich and powerful affiliates.
