Friday's U.S. Department of Justice release of more than 3 million documents related to the investigation of human trafficker and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein included email exchanges between Epstein and New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch. 

The Giants have provided a statement from Tisch addressing the emails. 

"We had a brief association where we  exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments.

The emails were first reported by The Athletic.
