so it was an expedition and didn t really turn up anything we wanted to publish. tell us about the island. in the article you say, he wanted to speak in a gazebo rather than the main house. he said that the main house had too many girls. what was it like on the island? i ve spoken to others who went there and they said when they arrived there was a giant, inflatable trampoline with girls jumping on it in bikinis welcoming guests. tell me what it was like there. that did not happen. i was there, you know, to do an interview. i was not there to socialize or party in any way. were there girls all over the place? i did not see any. i arrived at the airport in st. croix. i was met by a woman who introduced herself as ghislain and turned out to be ghislain maxwell. she took me with a driver on the tarmac, showed me the jet, gave me the sort of nickel tour of the jet and then flew me with her as the pilot in a helicopter and we landed at a helipad at
for and recruited the girls that came to his mansion. what do we know about the role of his partner, if you will, this woman. well, ghislaine was everything to him. first of all, she comes from a huge family in england, and she had a massive rolodex. so she was able to introduce him to everybody in society. but it was his money but her contacts. she was in a lot of ways his entree. but she also was completely in love with him, and she was willing to do anything that he wanted her to do, including, you know, recruit these young women, which i spoke with something who said she was quite glib about it. she said yes, of course, this is what i do. in some ways he must have made her feel like it was her fault for not being enough for him, that she was then go get them. just to talk about the law here, because that s what we re talking about, the age of consent in florida is 18. these were girls younger than
death. take that for what it s worth, which is nothing. when asked explicitly if he believed that president clinton was involved, the president equivocated. do. you really think the clintons are involved in jeffrey epstein s death? i have no idea. i have no idea that is awful. meanwhile, the investigation continues as the fbi confirms that they conducted a raid on epstein s home and private island in the u.s. virgin islands. while epstein may be gone, he has passed away, investigators are looking into the role a socialite friend of epstein s played in his crimes. according to multiple epstein accusers, ghislain maxwell helped to enable his crimes, all the trafficking stuff with young girls. i m joined by former federal prosecutor vanessa rigadias. i want to ask paul a couple of the legal questions up front. first of all, the political question. where does the president get the chutzpah to throw out bill clinton and try to trash his
one of the issues you have a there, paul, if somebody benefitted by his death, somebody killed him. that s a hell of a leap. not necessarily. they knew he wanted to kill hymn. again, when you re in the custody of federal officials and you want to kill yourself, they re supposed to not let that happen there. is a middle ground here. okay, thank you. in a statement u.s. manhattan district attorney berman writing to those brave young women who have already come forward and to the many others yet to do so, we remain committed to standing for you, and our investigation of the conduct charged in the indictment which included a conspiracy count remains ongoing. that s the prosecutor. one person who remains of interest is ghislaine maxwell who according to a growing number of women was the prime organizer of epstein s three a day massages and reportedly paid
possibility that his lawyers could actually sue mcc. how do you see these screws turning? there s a number of different things that are going to happen going forward. let s look at the criminal side as you heard from the u.s. attorney here on the weekend on saturday afternoon in a statement. the conspiracy component of this. that investigation moves forward. they re asking for any additional victims who have not yet come forward to continue to come forward. they ll look in to see whether there are any other coconspirators. we ve talked here today about some other individuals that were close to jeffrey epstein. some information that came out in papers on friday involving one of his former kind of top associates in ghislain maxwell, not charged with anything, but certainly some information in those documents that if proven true would be problematic for her from a criminal standpoint. there would have to be a nexus to new york. this can t all be florida because that is where the u.s.
