RFK Jr. Calls For Release Of Epstein Flight Records

Since disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s sordid crimes came to light, speculation has abounded regarding which high-profile figures might have joined him in private jet trips to the island where much of his criminal conduct occurred.

This has resulted in mounting calls for transparency regarding the flight logs, though thus far a complete list of names has not been made public.

During a Fox News Channel interview this week, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. acknowledged that he had twice been a passenger on Epstein’s plane — and followed up by asserting that all the records should be released.

Kennedy, who dropped out of the Democratic presidential primary in favor of launching an independent White House bid, clarified that he had never traveled “alone” with Epstein and noted that he has been “open about this” in previous statements on the matter.

“I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times,” he told host Jesse Watters. “I was on it in 1993 and I went to Florida with my wife and two children to visit my mom over Easter.”

He indicated that his wife “had some kind of relationship” with longtime Epstein associate and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, who offered the family use of the jet.

“And on another occasion, I flew again with my family with, I think, four of my children and Mary, my wife, to Rapid City, South Dakota, to go fossil hunting for a weekend,” Kennedy said. “But otherwise I was never on his jet alone. I, you know, I’ve been very open about this from the beginning. This was in ‘93, so it was 30 years ago. It was before anybody knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s, you know, his nefarious issues.”

Regardless of the circumstances, however, he maintained a belief that the public has a right to know who had been a passenger on the infamous jet.

“And we should get real answers on what happened to Jeffrey Epstein and any of the high-level political people that he was involved with,” Kennedy added. “All of that should be open to the public. It should be absolutely transparent.”

His call for transparency echoes previous remarks from officials including U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), whose effort last month to compel the release of the travel logs was subsequently denied.

“Given the numerous allegations of human trafficking and abuse surrounding Mr. Epstein, we’ve got to identify everyone who could have participated in his horrific conduct,” she said at the time.
