Eliot Spitzer appears in 20 documents primarily through news articles about him returning approximately $50,000 in campaign contributions from Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein's 2006 indictment, when Spitzer was New York Attorney General and running for governor.
Spitzer appears predominantly in news clippings and articles from 2006 discussing politicians who returned donations from Epstein following his criminal charges. The documents show he was among several prominent Democrats, including Bill Richardson and Mark Green, who distanced themselves from Epstein by returning campaign contributions. Some mentions reference the irony of Spitzer returning Epstein's donations before his own 2008 prostitution scandal led to his resignation as governor. A few property records mention a 'Sylvia D Spitzer' (likely his mother) owning a condominium, and one email references his use of the Martin Act during his tenure as Attorney General.
Key Highlights
- •Returned approximately $50,000 in campaign contributions from Epstein in 2006 after Epstein's indictment on charges involving underage girls
- •Was New York Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial candidate at the time he returned the donations
- •Multiple news articles note the later irony that Spitzer himself resigned in 2008 during his own sex scandal involving prostitution
- •Documents group him with other politicians like Bill Richardson who also returned Epstein's contributions
- •One mention references his aggressive use of the Martin Act as Attorney General, suggesting his prosecutorial background
