Presidential candidate RFK Jr. admits he flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet TWICE and went ‘fossil hunting’ with him in South Dakota – then says ‘My wife had some kind of a relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell’
Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday night that he flew on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet twice and that his ex-wife was friends with his notorious madam Ghislaine Maxwell.
Kennedy, a prominent anti-vaxxer, first announced his run for the White House in April, saying at the time that he planned to challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination. In September he announced plans to run as an independent candidate.
Speaking to Jesse Watters on Tuesday, he acknowledged his alleged brief ties to Epstein, a pedophile with extraordinary power and influence who connected him with politicians of both parties, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.
That day in Washington, Watters discussed testimony from FBI Director Christopher Wray, who answered questions about Epstein and proceeded to ask Kennedy if he had ever been on Epstein’s plane.
“I’ve been on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane twice,” he responded, adding that his ex-wife, the late Mary Richardson Kennedy, who committed suicide in 2012, had “some kind of relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.”

“I was in it in 1993, and I was in it… and I went to Florida with my wife and two kids to visit my mom for Easter (inaudible),” he said.
Kennedy also stated, without much explanation, that he once went “fossil hunting” in South Dakota with a notorious pedophile.
“And my wife had some kind of relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, and they offered to give us a ride to Palm Beach. Then I flew, and another time I flew again with my family, I think four children.”
He claims to have been “very open” on the issue from the start of his campaign and said this was long before Epstein became known for his array of sex crimes.
“This was before anyone knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s nefarious problems. And I agree with you that all this information should be made public.”
He continued to speak harshly about the tapes regarding Epstein’s connections to government.
“We need to get real answers about what happened to Jeffrey Epstein and all the senior political figures he was associated with. All this should be open to the public.”
When asked about the relationship between his ex-wife, who hanged herself in her New York City home more than a decade ago, the representative explained to Newsweek.
“I flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane twice,” he said, adding that his ex-wife—the late Mary Richardson Kennedy (pictured right), who committed suicide in 2012—had “some kind of relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell.”

“Mary, Kennedy’s wife, and their two children were flying,” the spokesman said. “Mary knew Epstein’s girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who heard they were going to Palm Beach for Easter and offered to give the family a ride.”
In October, Kennedy announced with his current actress wife Cheryl Hines that he wanted independence from two political parties.
“I am here to declare myself an independent candidate,” he said before several hundred supporters, whose applause interrupted his announcement. “Candidate for President of the United States of America.”
In a speech given steps from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Kennedy said he did not come to this decision “lightly.”
He said: “It pains me greatly to part with the party of my uncles, my father, my grandfather and both my great-grandfathers.”
Four members of his family – siblings Rory, Kerry, Joseph P. Kennedy II and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend – issued a joint statement saying they opposed his independent bid, calling the move “dangerous” and “deeply sad.”
Maxwell, who is currently serving time for her role in Epstein’s sex abuse ring, is featured in the court ruling.

“Our brother Bobby’s decision to run as a third candidate against Joe Biden is dangerous for our country,” the statement said. “Bobby may have the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, views or judgments. Today’s announcement deeply saddens us. We condemn his candidacy and consider it dangerous for our country.”
Kennedy is the son of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968, and the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963.
One supporter brought a hand-drawn sign that read, “I want Camelot!” a reference to the nickname of President John F. Kennedy’s administration.
