このコンテンツについて
Welcome back to Biography Flash. This is your update on Noam Chomsky for the past few days, and there's quite a bit to cover. The 96-year-old linguist and public intellectual has found himself back in the headlines, though not for the reasons his admirers might hope.
Starting with the major news breaking just days ago, newly released congressional documents have revealed that Chomsky maintained a far closer relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein than previously disclosed. The House Oversight Committee released these emails on November 12th, and they show years of regular contact between the two men, continuing well after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. In one particularly notable letter, Chomsky described his interactions with Epstein as "a most valuable experience." The documents also show Epstein offering Chomsky use of his luxurious residences in New York and New Mexico back in 2015. Perhaps most striking is a January 2017 email from Chomsky's wife, Valeria, apologizing to Epstein for missing his birthday and expressing hope that they would see him again soon. Chomsky previously acknowledged receiving approximately 270,000 dollars from an account linked to Epstein related to his first marriage settlement, though he insisted not a penny came directly from the financier himself.
On a different front, MIT declined to comment directly on Chomsky but stated that in 2020 the university reviewed its relationship with Epstein, tightened its gift-acceptance policies, and donated funds to organizations supporting survivors of sexual abuse.
Meanwhile, Chomsky himself has remained silent on these revelations. This extends a longer pattern of public quietude. According to reports from his longtime MIT assistant, Bev Stohl, Chomsky suffered a stroke in 2024 while in Brazil and has not been writing, corresponding, or conducting interviews. Updates from his family suggest his condition has improved since his time in intensive care, but significant recovery remains uncertain. His wife told the press that when he sees images of the war in Gaza, he raises his left arm in a gesture of lament and anger, indicating he is still engaged with current events.
