Overview
- The Justice Department has been releasing millions of pages of Epstein-related materials that list numerous public figures without independently alleging guilt.
- Whoopi Goldberg read a 2013 email on air showing a request to Epstein for a private jet to a Monaco event for Julian Lennon’s White Feather Foundation, which he declined with “no thanks.”
- Goldberg said she did not take the flight and stressed she had no personal relationship with Epstein, pushing back on online claims to the contrary.
- Joy Behar said appearances in the files can stem from ordinary settings such as parties or weddings, citing Donald Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples, and reports note neither host has been accused of wrongdoing.
- Former prosecutor Sunny Hostin cautioned that many listed people may be innocent while some may warrant scrutiny, as Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Congress that required files have been released.
