Ehud Barak met with Jeffrey Epstein dozens of times, flew on private plane report
Former prime minister Ehud Barak met with the late disgraced financier and child sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein dozens of times beginning in 2013, according to a new report on Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal.
Barak was among the list of Jewish names including pioneering linguist and left-wing activist Noam Chomsky, longtime Bard College president Leon Botstein, and filmmaker Woody Allen listed in a newly uncovered private calendar for Epstein, the WSJ reported in the first part of its investigative series on the hugely influential Jewish donor who used his largesse to obscure what investigators uncovered years ago as an elaborate underage sex trafficking ring.
Epstein met with thousands of people over his career and the presence of their names does not itself indicate any evidence of misdeeds.
According to the WSJs Wednesday report on the calendars contents, Barak visited Epstein about 30 times between 2013 and 2017 at his estates in Florida and New York, including a time in 2014 when the former Israeli premier flew with Epstein on his private aircraft from Palm Beach to Tampa, after which Epstein went on to New York. Barak said his wife and an Israeli security guard were also on that flight. He said he flew with Epstein on his private plans on one other occasion, also with his wife and guards.

Yeah. He was my first thought... Especially after it was revealed he's in cahoots with Trump

Just saying we've never had an explanation for why David Cameron resigned early

I agree with your last sentence, but, as per Ms. volestrangler, it probably doesn't apply to Cameron.
