New York Times columnist David Brooks, who criticized Democrats for releasing Jeffrey Epstein files, was pictured in the documents released today.
Among the 68 photos, all shared without context, were two images featuring Brooks, who has worked at the NYT for more than two decades.
The release of the documents featuring Brooks comes just weeks after he published a column titled The Epstein Story? Count Me Out.
He slammed House Democrats for releasing information pertaining to Epstein, who killed himself in New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center in 2019.
Brooks even compared Democrats interested in the Epstein files to far-right individuals who believe in the QAnon conspiracy.
He wrote in the November 21 opinion piece: 'I know a thing or two about the American elite, ahem, and if you’ve read my work, you may be sick of my assaults on the educated elites for being insular, self-indulgent and smug.
'But the phrase "the Epstein class" is inaccurate, unfair and irresponsible. Say what you will about our financial, educational, nonprofit and political elites, but they are not mass rapists.
'If I were a Democratic politician (this role-playing is kind of fun) I’d add that America can’t get itself back on track if the culture is awash in distrust, cynicism, catastrophizing lies and conspiracy mongering.
'No governing majority will ever form if we’re locked in a permanent class war.'
