Valeria Chomsky, wife of famous linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky, released a long statement apologizing for their ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. She called their involvement a “grave mistake” and admitted they were “careless” for not fully looking into Epstein’s background. She said they were completely fooled by him.
The relationship between the 97-year-old linguist and Epstein has been closely examined since the justice department released documents showing their friendship. According to The Guardian, Valeria Chomsky, who married Noam in 2014, said they first met Epstein in 2015. She insists they did not know about his 2008 guilty plea for soliciting prostitution, including with a minor under 18.
