Whoopi Goldberg is clarifying why her name appears in the Epstein files.“Now, in the name of transparency, can you put up… my name is in the files,” Goldberg said on Tuesday’s episode of The View, before an email was depicted on the screen behind the Hot Topics table.
Goldberg explained that her name is mentioned in email correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and an individual whose name has been redacted about trying to find a private plane for her to get to Monaco to attend an event hosted by Julian Lennon’s charity, the White Feather Foundation. It says, ‘Whoopi needs a plane to get to Monaco… Julian Lennon’s charity is paying for it. They don’t want to charter so they’re looking for private owners. Here’s the info,’” Goldberg said, reading directly from the email. “And they give all the information and they’re saying, do you want to offer your G2?”
Sunny Hostin pointed out that Epstein turned down the offer in a follow-up email. “And it looks like they said no thanks,” she remarked.
“So, in other words, anyone can be on this list?” Joy Behar asked.
“This is my point because, when I tell you people are trying to turn me into,” Goldberg replied. “I wasn’t his girlfriend. I wasn’t his friend. I was not only too old, but it was at a time where this is just not…. You used to have to have facts before you said stuff.”
When Behar noted that President Donald Trump is featured in the files “38,000 times,” Goldberg replied, “I can’t speak to him, but I’m speaking about me because I’m getting dragged.”
She continued, “People actually believe that I was with him. It’s like, honey, come on. Every man I’ve ever been with you’ve known about ‘em because either the Enquirer wrote about it, people wrote about this stuff.”
