New York Giants co-owner [Steve Tisch](https://www.foxnews.com/sports/giants-co-owner-steve-tisch-exchanged-emails-jeffrey-epstein-about-documents-show) addressed controversy surrounding his presence in the recently released files related to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein. Tisch released a statement through [the Giants](https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/nfl/new-york-giants), claiming he never traveled to Epstein's infamous island. "We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments. I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with," Tisch said.
