The connection between Lifetouch and the Epstein files ties back to Black, a billionaire and former CEO of Apollo Global Management, which owns Lifetouch's parent company, Shutterfly. Apollo Global Management was not linked to Shutterfly, and therefore Lifetouch, until it acquired Shutterfly in September 2019, one month after Epstein's death. Black left Apollo Global Management in March 2021 amid increased scrutiny about his relationship with Epstein, The New York Times reported.

Leon Black- birth name ----------. He provided $7.5 million to establish a fellowship program for U.S. military personnel and veterans at Harvard Kennedy School (Harvard also took millions from Epstein) and donated $1.25 million to Zionist indoctrination program Birthright Israel. He also donated $100K to "Friends of the Israel Genocide Forces" and has been a financial and vocal supporter of AIPACm and UJA-Federation, which aid Israeli causes. He's also has served on Tel Aviv University's Board of Governors.

The MSM rarely mentions the whole Israel connection much, do they???

Interesting side note to the fact that Hegseth recently severed DOD ties to Harvard.
