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.

All of these fuckers deserve to go down.

I am tired of paywalls, this is not something someone should have to pay to know.

Hey Qanon!

Here’s your deep state.

e: sorry, downvoters; you’ve been had, but it’s not too late. There are real conspiracies here.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Qanon needs to look in plain sight! A former GOP Speaker of the House (3rd in line to the presidecy) went to prison after it was found out he molested AT LEAST four teenage boys. This actually happened. It's not some conspiracy theory. It happened in plain sight and I'll bet none now about it

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 11 points 1 day ago

The q anon prophet tweeted out fuck Trump the other day

They're totally latching onto this. It's wonderful. Trump was so cartoonishly obvious in trying to cover it up, it made them bite down harder and start foaming at the mouth

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

Lol those motherfuckers can't read

Has anyone seriously followed the money trails between Epstein and his affluent clients? Surely they paid him large sums for his depraved services?

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 days ago

I'm sure some of them did, but I'm sure others paid in favors of the politically corrupt variety

I wish I saved the link. I saw a story yesterday that the money was routed through Russia, which is why Trump has been their removed this whole time.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

The treasury department has a ton of documents on some 1.5B dollars of Epstein’s. It can be traced. Nobody seems willing.

[–] novibe@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

His huge New York home was “gifted” to him…

I’m sure diligent internet sleuths could track some of the money trails.

[–] zero@fawk.net 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't see any report as yet but yes, the money trail will raise some interesting questions.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

One of Epstein's last large investments ~$40 million at the time was into Peter Theil's company

[–] brachiosaurus@mander.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

We got his book with the names of his clients, it's publicly available https://epsteinsblackbook.com/

It's a bunch of important and wealthy people so nothing will be done.

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 days ago

They won't release it, some of the monetary amounts are obscene ($318008). Think of the children who might see that awful number, for God's sake.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He just really likes partying with rapists and sexual predators. He likes to brag about it. They're his kind of people.

Some might say "bad hombres."

Others might say "Welcome aboard, Mr. Secretary" 🫡

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

not exactly new information, he already admitted to having flown with Epstein. his explanation was that he lived in new york most of his life and knew a lot of people. he even listed some bangers:

I knew Harvey Weinstein. I knew Roger Ailes. OJ Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house.

and he said you can't know these people until this stuff comes out. which is of course everyone's excuse. mango mussolini as his best friend never knew about it. Alan Dersh as his long time friend and lawyer never knew about it. RFK Jr never knew about it even though he knew a lot of people in new york and was wealthy... none of those people he knew said anything to him apparently.

i wonder how Epstein was able to do so much trafficking for so long without literally anyone around him having any clue about it.

[–] sepi@piefed.social 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They all knew and they were all into it

[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

So who else has on their tinfoil hat checklist the whole Russia-driven blackmail strategy using Jeffrey Epstein stuff to put controllable Anti American and anti democracy UIs and assets in all key seats of the US? 😂

This is disrespectful to shit, let alone apples.

Even shit has purpose. These people. Literally have none.

Somehow Trump is way more disgusting than any character on that show.

(never my cup of tea, but still get a laugh from every episode.)

[–] sramder@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Is it just the dark circles under his eyes or does he look a bit like Edward Norton in Fight Club?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah. So did Epstein traffic young fellows for Thiel?

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

kinda surprised none of these proud cock suckers are wearing "SWAMP STRONG" shirts or bracelets

hit us with the facts, our feelings won't be hurt!
