Orioles owner issues statement about meeting with Jeffrey Epstein

The owner of the Baltimore Orioles is among the names found in the Epstein files released by the Justice Department.

Emails show David Rubenstein ― who is also the Carlyle Group chair ― met with Jeffrey Epstein in November 2012 and had potential plans for another meeting, but it appears that a second meeting did not take place.

A spokesperson for Rubenstein released the following statement to WBAL News Radio in Baltimore:

“Mr. Rubenstein had one meeting for 20 minutes in Carlyle’s office, at the request of people seeking Mr. Rubenstein’s participation in philanthropic endeavors, none of which were pursued by Mr. Rubenstein,” the spokesperson said.

‘A brief email thanking Mr. Rubenstein for the meeting also suggested a meeting between Mr. Rubenstein and Ehud Barak, which never occurred. There is nothing more to Mr. Rubenstein’s involvement than that innocuous interaction.’
