A spokesman for the campaign of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has released a statement in response to reports claiming that Kennedy once flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane. Newsweek revealed that Kennedy’s name was among the high-profile individuals who had previously been passengers on the aircraft, which has been nicknamed the “Lolita Express” due to its alleged use in transporting underage girls to Epstein’s properties.
Hi Lori. I really liked RFK Jr until I saw he was one of Epstein’s clients. Would love to hear more about that.

A Kennedy spokesperson admitted that the candidate did fly on Epstein’s plane in 1993, but it was a one-time trip arranged by Kennedy’s then-wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy, who was acquainted with Epstein’s partner, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The purpose of the flight was to visit Kennedy’s mother for Easter in Palm Beach, Florida. The spokesperson also acknowledged social media posts discussing a second trip on the Epstein jet, which involved Kennedy, Mary, and two Kennedy children, and was allegedly organized by Mary Kennedy and Maxwell.
