As reported in a story published Sunday, Jeffrey Epstein’s recently revealed private schedule included planned interactions with the current CIA director, a university president, and a lawyer who has worked for the Obama administration.
Recent documents relating to the wealthy convicted pedophile have revealed conversations with several notables, including Professor Noam Chomsky, Bard College President Leon Botstein, Obama White House attorney Kathryn Ruemmler and current CIA Director, William Burns. All of these meetings were to take place after Epstein was incarcerated in 2008 on solicitation charges, including grooming a child.
The purpose of the meetings was not made clear in the documents. The WSJ was unable to prove that every scheduled meeting took place.

Burns, who has headed the CIA since 2021, spoke to Epstein a decade ago as he sought to resign from the government, according to a spokesperson for Burns. In a statement to Fox News Digital, CIA spokeswoman Tammy Kupperman Thorp said Director Burns recalls meeting through a mutual acquaintance in Washington, DC.
She then interacted briefly with Epstein in New York City about a decade ago as the director was preparing to leave government service. According to Thorp, the director knew nothing about Epstein beyond the fact that he was introduced as a specialist in accounting and financial services and provided general guidance on entering the private sector.
The manager has no recollection of making further contact or getting transportation to the airport. They weren’t even related.
After serving in the Obama administration and before taking over as chief counsel at Goldman Sachs in 2020, Ruemmler reportedly had several scheduled meetings with Epstein. According to records, Epstein intended for Ruemmler to travel with him to Paris in 2015 and to once again stay on his private island in the Caribbean in 2017.
