Video Ad Feedback Deepak Chopra's close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein Jeffrey Epstein had a closer friendship with best-selling author and wellness guru Deepak Chopra than was previously known, according to files released by the Justice Department. “UC San Diego is aware that Deepak Chopra, MD, has been mentioned in files that were recently released by the Department of Justice. The school’s comment came in response to CNN’s examination of hundreds of messages in the Justice Department’s Epstein files that Chopra and Epstein exchanged between 2016 and 2019 — the year that Epstein was arrested on federal charges of operating a sex-trafficking ring and of sexually abusing underage girls. Any contact I had was limited and unrelated to abusive activity.”The presence of a person’s name in the Epstein files is not indicative of wrongdoing. Approached recently and asked to comment about his relationship with Epstein, Chopra said: “No misconduct.”

The Michigan Wolverines have already clinched a share of the Big Ten regular season championship, but there is still work to be done. ETLocation: State Farm Center, Champaign, ILTV/Streaming: FOXEver since the covid cancellations, Illinois has hated Michigan, and unfortunately that hatred has been backed up on the court. This is definitely something to watch, as Duke killed Michigan by grabbing nearly 40% of its misses. Illinois Takeaway Rate: 10.3% (18th B1G)Like defensive rebounding, the other ghost from last season that Michigan can not afford to let resurface is the turnover issues.
