David Rubenstein met Jeffrey Epstein in 2012, before buying the Orioles, sparking scrutiny despite no evidence of wrongdoing.

David Rubenstein, owner of the Baltimore Orioles, met with Jeffrey Epstein in November 2012, according to newly released Department of Justice documents. His name appears over 200 times in the files, which include communications and records related to Epstein’s activities. The meeting occurred more than a decade before Rubenstein acquired the Orioles in 2024. A second planned meeting did not take place. The documents do not indicate any wrongdoing by Rubenstein, but the release has drawn public and political scrutiny over connections between Epstein and prominent figures.
