In a report published Monday in The New York Times, James B. Stewart describes the day “exactly a year ago” that he visited the “cavernous Manhattan mansion” of Jeffrey Epstein for a 90-minute conversation with the disgraced billionaire, who was found dead in his high-security jail cell on Saturday after hanging himself.

“The overriding impression I took away from our roughly 90-minute conversation was that Mr. Epstein knew an astonishing number of rich, famous and powerful people, and had photos to prove it,” Stewart writes. “He also claimed to know a great deal about these people, some of it potentially damaging or embarrassing, including details about their supposed sexual proclivities and recreational drug use.”
