HOO. BOY.
Just casually wearing an Israeli Defense Force shirt on his jet.
To be fair, lots of people wear random shirts that don't imply any particular connection.
Like Bill Clinton wearing an Air Jordan shirt on Epstein's plane!
Wild how we're getting this from a British newspaper and not the U.S. government, right?
From The Telegraph report:
Valdson Vieira Cotrin, who ran Epstein's Paris home, told The Telegraph he could not accept the official verdict of suicide and feared that his own life was in danger.
He also said he believed that Virginia Giuffre, the Epstein victim who accused Prince Andrew of rape and died by suicide in April, was a victim of foul play.
Mr Cotrin also made the extraordinary claim to The Telegraph that Epstein told him he had been offered a job by Donald Trump in his first administration in 2016 - but had turned it down.
There is no evidence that the allegation is true, and Mr Trump has maintained that he stopped speaking to Epstein in 2004 after they fell out over a business deal.
Again, wouldn't it be nice if we were getting details from the FBI and DOJ instead of random gossip from a butler?
In his exclusive interview with The Telegraph, Mr Cotrin, speaking on the record for the first time, also alleged that:
Prince Andrew visited Epstein in St Tropez along with a British photographer famous for taking pictures of naked girls and accused of having sex with a 13-year-old
Prince Andrew was a frequent guest at Epstein's Paris town house, with Royal protection bodyguards paid for by the British taxpayer
Ghislaine Maxwell was the 'authoritarian boss' who gave the orders in the Epstein household
Epstein gave money to Woody Allen to finance one of his movies
As for the photos...
Mr Cotrin remains in possession of a number of photographs taken with friends of Epstein, including a photo of himself with Bill Clinton on the so-called Lolita Express, Epstein's private plane that he used to traffic underage girls and women for sex.
The existence of the photo showing Mr Clinton on board Epstein's jet will also fuel demands for the former president to reveal his full dealings with Epstein.
Mr Clinton was issued with a subpoena on Tuesday, demanding he give evidence to a congressional committee investigating the financier.
Mr Cotrin also shared a photograph of himself with Epstein, taken on his private jet in January 2019, which may be one of the last taken of the financier.
Epstein looks puffy, but is smiling and relaxed, and is notably wearing an Israel Defense Forces sweatshirt. Epstein has long been accused of being an operative for Mossad, Israel's intelligence service, although last month his former lawyer told The Telegraph that Epstein used to laugh off the claim.
Mr Cotrin, who acted as Epstein's butler, chauffeur and cook in Paris, recalled driving his boss to Le Bourget airport in Paris to catch a flight to New York, where he was arrested upon landing on July 6 2019.
I dunno how much of his story is true, but it would be a lot less credible if the FBI hadn't released edited video footage of the night Epstein died!
