RFK, Jr. insists there was nothing wrong with him flying twice on Epstein’s jet with his wife and he never went to the ‘infamous island’: 2024 candidate calls for ALL flight logs to be released after defending his trips
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continued to defend himself Wednesday, admitting he flew on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s plane twice, saying he never flew to the “infamous island” in the Caribbean where Epstein took his underage victims.
Kennedy, who is running for the White House as an independent after his father and uncle left the party, said he was accompanied on both excursions by family. He wrote about his travels on Xhours after he made the stunning revelation during an interview with Fox News.
He then accused other unnamed individuals who flew in on the corporate jet of having something to hide.
“Yes, I flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane twice in the early 90s. Every time with my wife and children. Never to his infamous island. All Epstein & Maxwell flight logs and customer lists must be published. I’m not hiding anything, but they are there!” He wrote. He ended his post with the hashtag “#EpsteinClientList,” emphasizing his call for more information to be revealed shortly after sharing new details of his subsidized journey.
Presidential candidate Robert 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.
He was referring to Little St. James Island, which belonged to Epstein. Epstein’s death in prison in 2019 was ruled a suicide.
Kennedy is one of many names in bold to appear on the 2021 list of people traveling on Epstein’s 727, dubbed the “Lolita Express.”
Its disclosure comes weeks after a rep said Newsweek that Kennedy made the only flight aboard the plane.
A spokesman said at the time that he “once flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet.” It was 1993 from New York to Palm Beach (Florida) to visit RFK Jr.’s mom for Easter.” This is one of two trips Kennedy profiled on Fox. The second was for a weekend “fossil hunting” trip, he said.
Kennedy’s spokesman said Wednesday that he flew on a private jet twice and made calls to reveal the identities of those who may have contributed to his crimes.
‘Mister. Kennedy joins those demanding clarity about all of Mr. Epstein’s nefarious activities, including the identities of powerful associates or shadowy figures who may have facilitated or participated in his crimes. “Mr. Kennedy supports the release of Epstein’s business and personal records, including unredacted flight logs, which may further the public’s understanding of Mr. Epstein’s sexual abuse of minors and his suspicious death,” the spokesman said.
RFK 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.
“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.”
Kennedy claims he was “very open” about it from the start of his campaign and said it was long before Epstein became known for his array of sex crimes.
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.

“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.
