ultimate sleaze ball—was suddenly being ferried around
in the jet of...who exactly? The New York Post was the
first to take formal media note of the Clinton-Epstein
connection, hinting at a sex and money bromance. “I
suppose travel with Clinton changed the arc of my life,”
Epstein tells me. “There were, I knew, lots of obvious
reasons not to do it, but having the ability to spend 100
hours with a former president just doesn’t happen to
many people.”
I met Epstein around this time, on the flight out to
TED. Not long after this trip, Epstein’s assistant called to
invite me for tea at his house in New York, where
Epstein, with what seemed to me little understanding of
the subject, began to ask me about media—the upside,
downside, and nature of media coverage. (Epstein’s
flirtation with the media would result in his backing an
unsuccessful effort, of which I was a part, to buy New
York Magazine in 2004.)
New York magazine was then soliciting him for a
profile, as was Vanity Fair, who had assigned the British
tabloid journalist, Vicki Ward, to the job. Both
profiles—New York’s by Landon Thomas—pivot on
the Clinton connection and detail the same quandary,
how a man without clear institutional bona fides
nevertheless achieved such wealth and influence.
Epstein, sensing that he might be exposing himself,
called Carter and said he was having second thoughts
about being a public figure.
