Pritzker denies traveling on Epstein's plane after Bill Clinton's since-recanted testimony
Source: CBS News
Gov. JB Pritzker denied a since-recanted comment by former President Bill Clinton that Clinton thought the pair may have traveled together on a plane owned by convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
His denial was in response to a 90-second video clip of Clinton's closed-door deposition before the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that began circulating online Monday night.
"No, I have never, had never met Jeffrey Epstein," Pritzker said Tuesday. "I was never on Jeffrey Epstein's plane. I was never on any plane with Jeffrey Epstein or with Ghislaine Maxwell. Never met her."
Pritzker added he had never heard of Epstein until about 2019 when Epstein was indicted for child sex trafficking in the early 2000s.

(7,789 posts)Moreover, why should we insinuate that he's lying, like this sneaky bullshit: "Never heard of Epstein until 2019? Umm..."
What the fuck is that?
One of the best Dem governors in the country getting the Bari Weiss treatment together with insinuations on DU? Fuckssake.
