Harvard professor’s fundraising email to Jeffrey Epstein outlining Poetry in America projects and high‑profile episode guests

Harvard professor’s fundraising email to Jeffrey Epstein outlining Poetry in America projects and high‑profile episode guests The email shows a direct financial link ($100K) from Jeffrey Epstein to a Harvard‑affiliated nonprofit and lists prominent public figures (e.g., Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton, Ambassador Samantha Power) as participants in a TV series. While it confirms a donation and suggests Epstein’s involvement in cultural projects, it provides no concrete evidence of wrongdoing, illegal transactions, or coercion. The lead is useful for tracing Epstein’s philanthropic outreach to elite institutions but lacks specific misconduct allegations, limiting its investigative immediacy. Key insights: Epstein contributed $100,000 to Verse Video Education, a 501(c)(3) founded by Elisa New.; The email requests further meetings and potential introductions (e.g., "the famous Bamaby", "the Blacks").; High‑profile guests for the upcoming TV series include Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Samantha Power, Shaquille O'Neal, Yo‑Yo Ma, and others.
