Ehud Barak And His Weak Jeffrey Epstein Denials

Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak repeatedly attempted to downplay the extent of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, despite reporting that he met with Epstein nearly 30 times between 2013 and 2017, frequently flew on his private jet, and co-invested in an Israeli security startup (initially named Reporty, later Carbyne) that Epstein helped fund.   Barak asserted that he never attended any of Epstein’s alleged sex parties and even filed a libel suit to dispute news reports that suggested otherwise—but publications such as the Daily Mail firmly refused to retract their stories, citing credible evidence they stood by.    Barak’s legal efforts ultimately failed to refute specific claims and were criticized for lacking substantive rebuttal.In public statements, Barak expressed regret over knowing Epstein—saying he “wished he had never met him”—and insisted any implication of misconduct was “lies and slander”. However, his team did not address clear allegations backed by documentation and testimony. For example, when it was reported that a victim had named him in a coerced affidavit (a reference sometimes conflated with figures like Alan Dershowitz), Barak’s office simply denied the accusation without providing real evidence or transparency. Critics argue that these denials amounted to little more than carefully worded evasion, especially given the volume and intimacy of his documented interactions with Epstein after Epstein’s 2008 conviction.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
