"He said, and I agree, there are a lot of names associated with Epstein that had nothing to do with Epstein's conduct," O'Reilly said.

The Epstein affair had the hallmarks of a conspiracy theory. He was a rich financier with a Jewish surname and powerful acquaintances, including Bill Clinton, a former president, and Prince Andrew, a British royal.

In many of the previous reports about the Epstein scandal, authorities have referenced the “dozens” of victims that the billionaire is alleged to have abused. Meanwhile, a class-action lawsuit filed last year alleged the predatory financier had “hundreds” of victims.
