Robert Kennedy Jr. is facing fresh questions about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein after a photograph emerged of the Health Secretary partying with the now-deceased child sex trafficker in Manhattan.

Kennedy himself revealed the ties in a series of interviews he gave while campaigning for the 2024 election, before he dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump in exchange for a role in his administration.

“I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times,” Kennedy said in a December 2023 Fox News interview, referencing the plane widely dubbed the “Lolita Express” due to its use for taking young girls to Epstein’s private island.

"My wife had some kind of relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, and they offered us a ride to Palm Beach,” he added, referring to his late ex-wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, who died by suicide in 2012.

Wow, what a coincidence. RFK goes way back with Maxwell in particular. Are we still draining swamps? Getting rid of balls of worms? Bc they're all fucking just the worst.

And don't forget Epstein's estate is still making money off of his investments with Peter Thiel.

Jeffrey Epstein Invested With Peter Thiel, and His Estate Is Reaping Millions

Mr. Epstein’s investment with Mr. Thiel’s firm has not been previously reported or publicly disclosed. There’s a good chance much of the windfall will not go to any of the roughly 200 victims whom the disgraced financier abused when they were teenagers or young women. Those victims have already received monetary settlements from the estate, which required them to sign broad releases that gave up the right to bring future claims against it or individuals associated with it. The money is more likely to be distributed to one of Mr. Epstein’s former girlfriends and two of his long-term advisers, who have been named the beneficiaries of his estate. The only known beneficiaries of the trust are a former girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak, and the co-executors of the estate, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, both longtime advisers to Mr. Epstein. The 1953 Trust has never been made public. Ms. Shuliak’s lawyer declined to comment.

With all that money Thiel makes from government contracts being given to him because of Trump and Vance, Epstein's estate (in addition to the many people in the administration like Steven Miller with their own investments) also continues to make more money.

One advisor was his lawyer and one was his accountant. And both claim they had no knowledge of what he was doing...

Darren Indyke

Richard D. Kahn

Maxwell also tried to sue them a few years ago to get a cut of that estate bc as she argued, she was also an employee of Epstein and entitled to that money.

It’s like Diddy, is every other rapper a sexual predator like him then?

You must be a troll, because a serious person wouldn’t say this.

You know that real people are behind these names, right?

Do you realise that real people are reading your comments or are you just having fun here? I’ll answer if you’re serious, but I don’t believe you are.

I’m serious. You’re saying that people, by merely being in the same circles as a criminal may be complicit in the crimes of that person. I’m telling you that is not a rational stance to take. I used Diddy as an example since he is a fixture of the hip hop world and pretty much has a photo in a party with every A and B lister in the game. Does that mean that all of them partook in his activities?

It doesn't. But it does make it exponentially more likely.

If deflecting were an argument you would win every argument you ever find yourself in. Won’t continue to waste my time really.
