JOHN KENNEDY:¶
OK. Here’s my second question. We know that Jeffrey Epstein, who is now deceased and Ms. Maxwell, his associate who is in prison were engaged in a conspiracy of sex trafficking with minors. So were others. It’s been widely reported. What’s the FBI doing to investigate the other people that were involved in these sex trafficking rings?¶
CHRISTOPHER WRAY:¶
Well, I’m not sure that I can, um, confirm any specific individual being investigated.¶
JOHN KENNEDY:¶
Well, let me put it this way. Let me give you some facts. Widely reported. Jeffrey Epstein had video surveillance in all of his homes and on his private island. And there has been — there — there have been articles after articles from witnesses who have said he videotaped sex acts with prominent people because he was trying to cur — with young girls that he had procured to try to incur favor with those prominent people and potentially for what? To be able to blackmail them. Now that’s a fact. And — and the FBI and other federal agencies have raided his houses. Do you have those tapes?¶
CHRISTOPHER WRAY:¶
Again, I can’t discuss the specifics of our law enforcement operations related to Mr. Epstein or Ms. Maxwell, but obviously, we had very active investigation related to both of them. But whether it extends to other people, I’m not sure that’s something that I can comment on.¶
