US lawmakers have released emails that reveal a deeper connection between prominent linguist Noam Chomsky and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The emails show that Chomsky, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), maintained 'regular contact' with Epstein even after his conviction in 2008. According to the emails, Chomsky received about $270,000 from an account linked to Epstein, which he claims did not come directly from the financier. The MIT professor has also acknowledged that he and Epstein discussed shared interests, including music and potential vacations. A letter of support for Epstein attributed to Chomsky praises the financier for his knowledge of the global financial system and his connections in the world of politics and diplomacy. The letter, which is not dated, describes Epstein as a 'highly valued friend and regular source of intellectual exchange and stimulation.' The emails also reveal that Chomsky's second wife, Valeria Wasserman Chomsky, exchanged emails with Epstein, including a birthday message in 2017. Epstein had offered Chomsky use of his residences in New York and New Mexico in 2015. Chomsky has not publicly commented on the emails, which were released by Republican members of the US House oversight committee. The linguist has been recovering in Brazil since a stroke in 2024 and has not spoken publicly since then. The revelations have sparked controversy, with some questioning how Chomsky could have maintained a relationship with Epstein despite his conviction. The scandal has raised questions about the credibility of Chomsky, a prominent figure in the academic and intellectual communities.
