Speaker Says Epstein Contact Was Limited to Dinners (Full Transcript)
[00:00:00] Speaker 1: You know, it's factually true that I was only at dinners, you know, I never went to the island, I never met any women, and so, you know, the more it comes out, the more clear it will be that, although the time was a mistake, it had nothing to do with that kind of behavior. I met Jeffrey in 2011. The focus was always, he knew a lot of very rich people, and he was saying he could get them to give money to Global Health. You know, in retrospect, that was a dead end, and I was foolish to spend time with him. I was one of many people who regret ever knowing him.
