In an email from Jeffrey Epstein to Jes Staley and Peter Mandelson on January 24, 2010, the sender discusses a comparison between President John F. Kennedy's actions against U.S. Steel in 1962 and Barack Obama's threats to bankers at that time. The writer suggests that JFK took strong action by dressing down U.S. Steel publicly for threatening economic recovery and stability while Americans were fighting in Southeast Asia, whereas Obama only made generic populist rhetoric. U.S. Steel capitulated within two days after JFK threatened his brother's Justice Department with access to corporate records. The Times reported that Kennedy was at a high point in popular support after this incident.
