RFK Jr. Admits Flying on Jeffrey Epstein's Private Jet
Denied Involvement in Epstein's Alleged Sex Trafficking
Says He Hung Out with Epstein "a Couple of Times"
In a televised interview on Tuesday, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted that he had flown on Jeffrey Epstein's private jet twice. Epstein was a convicted sex offender who died by suicide in prison in 2019. Kennedy stated that he was not aware of any wrongdoing on Epstein's part at the time of the flights.
Kennedy also said that he had hung out with Epstein "a couple of times" but denied any involvement in Epstein's alleged sex trafficking operation. Epstein was accused of trafficking underage girls for sex and pleaded not guilty to the charges. The case was dropped after his death.
Kennedy's admission comes as part of the ongoing release of documents related to Epstein's case. The documents have revealed that Kennedy was one of many high-profile individuals who flew on Epstein's private jet, known as the "Lolita Express."
Kennedy's comments have drawn criticism from some who say that he should have known about Epstein's alleged crimes. Others have defended Kennedy, saying that he has not been accused of any wrongdoing and that he should not be judged by his association with Epstein.
