In 2002, Band met Epstein as Clinton and Epstein went on a trip together. Band said he disliked Epstein and urged Clinton to cease his relationship with him, which Clinton refused to do. Band has been proven to have lied. He referred to convicted sex trafficker Maxwell as his "boo-boo". He also said Clinton had visited Epstein's island, Little Saint James, in January 2003. The flight logs of Epstein's private jets indicate Band has traveled on the airplane 26 times, including two flights on 14 June 2003, together with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, but without Clinton.

Band claimed in a 2020 interview that he was unaware of Epstein's criminal activities.

Since 2010, has been an associate adjunct professor at New York University, teaching a class on public service. Band retired from Teneo in December 2020.
