Epstein's pilot coordinated flights with Trump's multiple times during first term: emails

Larry Visoski, who served as Jeffrey Epstein’s personal pilot for decades, appears to have coordinated multiple flights for Epstein with President Donald Trump’s, according to files released this week by the House Oversight Committee.

On March 5, 2017, just over a month since Trump was sworn into office for his first term, Visoski emailed Epstein about an impending flight departure.

“Jeffrey, TSA called me, they inform closing TSA inspection at 3pm, asked if we could depart at 2:30pm? Is 2:30pm okay for departure,” Visoski wrote. “Otherwise it would be after Trump’s departure between 4 and 5pm.”

In another email dated April 16, 2017, Visoski told Epstein that due to “staffing issues,” his impending flight might be delayed, but again made reference to Trump’s supposed departure: “Trump is supposed to depart at 4pm, latest 4:30pm.”

Visoski also made reference to “PBI customs,” suggesting that the airport in reference was Palm Beach International Airport, which has an airport code of “PBI,” and is also nearby Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, where he’s spent much of his time during his first and second presidencies.

It’s unclear as to why Visoski would coordinate Epstein’s flights with Trump’s, though other revelations unearthed from the newly released files suggest the two may have maintained ties during Trump’s first presidency. One email revealed that Trump may have “spent hours” with one of Epstein’s victims at his home, and another suggests that Epstein may have spent Thanksgiving with Trump during his first term.

Visoski testified during the trial for Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell and denied that he ever witnessed acts of sexual abuse during flights, and despite allegations that “underaged sex parties” had been held on Epstein’s jet. Trump had reportedly flown on Epstein’s jet at least seven times in the 1990s, with former President Bill Clinton and Britain’s Prince Andrew alleged to have flown on the jet as well.
