New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and his siblings are moving to transfer their remaining ownership stake in the NFL franchise to trusts controlled by their children following renewed scrutiny over Tisch’s past association with Jeffrey Epstein. The move comes after newly released Epstein documents revealed hundreds of references to Tisch, including emails from 2013 in which Epstein allegedly discussed women with him and suggested introductions to women from countries such as Ukraine and Russia. In one exchange, Tisch reportedly asked whether a woman Epstein described as “exotic” and “Tahitian” was a “working girl.” Tisch has said the correspondence involved discussions about adult women as well as movies, philanthropy, and investments, and he maintains that he never visited Epstein’s private island or accepted invitations from him.

The Tisch family already held most of its stake in the Giants through trusts, but the plan would transfer the remaining portion—roughly 10% of the team held directly by the siblings—into those family trusts as well, leaving them without direct ownership if the NFL finance committee approves the move. Despite stepping away from direct ownership, Tisch is expected to remain chairman of the Giants’ board, meaning his influence within the organization could continue even after the ownership restructuring. The New York Giants, one of the most valuable franchises in the NFL, are primarily controlled by the Mara family, with the Tisch family having been co-owners since 1991. The decision to move the ownership stake comes amid increasing scrutiny surrounding Epstein-related revelations and just ahead of an NFL owners meeting where the controversy could have become a topic of discussion.
