Whoopi Goldberg gave her view in her name appearing in the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Goldberg spent part of Tuesday’s “The View” denying any link to the deceased convicted child sex offender, Fox News reported.
“In the name of transparency,” Goldberg started then asked for the email to appear on the screen. “My name is in the files.”
Goldberg’s name is mentioned in a 2013 email where someone writes Goldberg needs a plane to Monaco and that “John Lennon’s charity is paying for it.” Goldberg corrected that it should have read Julian Lennon’s charity, The White Feather Foundation.
The email then asked Epstein if he would offer his private plane.
The document, released by the Justice Department, showed Epstein responding with “no thnaks [sic].”
Co-host Joy Behar said, “anybody can be on this list.”
“Well, this is my point! Because I’m telling you, when I tell you people are trying to turn me into, I wasn’t his girlfriend. I wasn’t his friend,” Goldberg said, as Behar chimed in that Goldberg was “too old” for him.
“I was not only too old, but it was at a time, you know, where this is just not – you used to have facts before you said stuff!” Goldberg added.
When Behar mentioned Trump being in the files many times, Goldberg said she was only speaking about herself.
“I’m speaking about me because I’m getting dragged,” she said. “People actually believe that I was with him, it’s like, ‘Honey, come on.’ Every man that I’ve ever been with, you’ve known about because either the Enquirer wrote about it, people wrote about this stuff. So no, I never had this, and no, I didn’t get on the plane because you know what I would have to do to get on the plane?”
Her co-hosts then said, “fly,” as Goldberg admitted she doesn’t fly.
“So they’re trying to get me to get on a plane to get to this thing for Julian Lennon,” she said.
Watch:
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in a letter Saturday that “all” Epstein files have been released consistent with Section 3 of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
The letter included a list of more than 300 high-profile names, including President Donald Trump, Barack and Michelle Obama, Prince Harry, Bill Gates, Woody Allen, Mark Zuckerberg and Bruce Springsteen.
In accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the list of names includes “all persons where (1) they are or were a government official or politically exposed person and (2) their name appears in the files released under the Act at least once,” the letter said, adding that the names appear in a “wide variety of contexts.”
