Walter Isaacson appears 24 times across 16 documents in the Epstein files, primarily in connection with an educational video project involving interviews with prominent intellectuals and scientists. He is also mentioned as an attorney in separate legal proceedings unrelated to Epstein.
The documents reveal two distinct individuals named Isaacson. The majority of mentions refer to Walter Isaacson, the renowned biographer and journalist, who was apparently recruited to participate in filmed interviews on topics like Einstein and modernism. These mentions appear in documents describing an educational content project that also involved Richard Dawkins, Ray Dalio, and other notable figures. A smaller number of mentions refer to William A. Isaacson, an attorney with Boies Schiller & Flexner who represented clients in litigation completely unrelated to Epstein. The educational project documents suggest Isaacson had agreed to participate in taped sessions covering physics and computer science.
Key Highlights
- •Multiple documents reference filmed interviews with Walter Isaacson on 'Einstein and Modernism' at Harvard's Fogg Museum and Science Center
- •The educational video project mentioned alongside Isaacson included other prominent figures like Richard Dawkins, David Mossberg, and Ray Dalio
- •Documents also mention interviews with Bill Clinton, Lena Dunham, Woody Allen, and Harrison Ford as part of the same television content project
- •Separate mentions refer to attorney William A. Isaacson arguing cases involving financial disputes, unrelated to the biographer
- •The project documents indicate footage was already shot or participants had 'said yes to tapings' for subjects including marine biology, astronomy, and evolutionary biology
