Leon Botstein has resigned from his roles at Bard College. His departure follows demands from a prominent Democrat for a federal investigation into his alleged connections with Jeffrey Epstein. Botstein previously served as Bard's president.
The Department of Justice and the FBI have been urged to investigate Botstein as a potential co-conspirator of Epstein. Reports indicate a "damning email" links Botstein to Epstein, and his continued presence at Bard reportedly caused distress among the campus community.
The calls for investigation specifically mention an inquiry into a phrase, "Is (Jane Doe) for me." This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
