Two times on the Lolita Express and now at a swanky New York party: RFK Jr is pictured at a party with Jeffrey Epstein

• The presidential candidate told Jesse Watters he’d flown twice on Epstein’s jet 
• Now RFK Jr faces more questions about his relationship with the pedophile
• Photographs resurfaced Friday showing the two men at a 1994 party together

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is facing more pressure to explain the nature of his relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein after a photograph emerged of them together at a swanky New York party.

On Tuesday, he admitted he had twice flown on the billionaire’s private jet, nicknamed the ‘Lolita express.’

On Friday, photographs from 1994 surfaced showing RFK Jr. and his second wife Mary Richardson living it up with Epstein at the Pierre Hotel, in Manhattan.

They were attending a fundraiser for the New York Academy of Art benefit.

His campaign did not respond to a request for comment. 

Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Tuesday night that he’d flown twice on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet and that his ex-wife was friendly with his infamous madam Ghislaine Maxwell

Kennedy, a prominent anti-vaxxer, first announced a White House run in April – saying then that he planned to challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination. In September, he announced plans to run as an independent instead.

Speaking to Jesse Watters on Fox News on Tuesday, he admitted his allegedly brief connections to Epstein, a pedophile with extraordinary power and influence that has connected him to politicians in both parties, including former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.

Watters was discussing testimony that day in Washington from FBI Director Christopher Wray, who took questions about Epstein and segued into asking Kennedy if he’d ever been on Epstein’s jet. 

‘I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times,’ he replied, adding that his ex-wife – the late Mary Richardson Kennedy, who died by suicide in 2012 – had ‘some kind of relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell,’ Esptein’s notorious madam.

‘I was on it in 1993, and I was on it in– and I went to Florida with my wife and two children to visit my mom over Easter [inaudible],’ he said.

Kennedy also claimed, with little explanation, that at one point he’d gone ‘fossil hunting’ in South Dakota with the notorious pedophile.  

‘And my wife had some kind of relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell and they offered us a ride to Palm Beach. I went then, and another occasion, I flew again with my family with, I think, four of my children.’

He claims that he’s been ‘very open’ about this from the beginning of his campaign and said this was long before Epstein became known for his multitude of sex crimes.

‘It was before anybody knew about Jeffrey Epstein’s, you know, nefarious issues. And I agree with you that all of this information should be released.’ 

He continued to try and talk tough about the records regarding Epstein’s connections to power. 

‘We should get real answers on what happened to Jeffrey Epstein and any of the high-level political people that he was involved with. All of that should be open to the public.’

When asked about the relationship between his ex-wife – who hanged herself in her New York home over a decade ago – a spokesperson clarified to Newsweek.

‘Mary, Kennedy’s wife, and two of their kids were on the flight,’ the representative said. ‘Mary knew Epstein’s girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who learned that they were going to Palm Beach for Easter and offered their family a ride.’ 

In October, alongside his current actress wife Cheryl Hines, Kennedy announced that he wanted independence from the two political parties. 

‘I was on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet two times,’ he said, adding that his ex-wife – the late Mary Richardson Kennedy (pictured left), who died by suicide in 2012 – had ‘some kind of relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell’

‘I’m here to declare myself an independent candidate,’ he said in front of several hundred supporters, whose cheers broke up his announcement. ‘Candidate for president of the United States of America.’ 

In a speech delivered steps away from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Kennedy said he did not come to the decision ‘lightly’.

He said: ‘It’s very painful for me to let go of the party of my uncles, my father, my grandfather and both of my great-grandfathers.’

Four members of his family – siblings Rory, Kerry, Joseph P. Kennedy II and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend – issued a joint statement saying they were against his independent bid, calling the move ‘dangerous’ and ‘deeply saddening.’

‘The decision of our brother Bobby to run as a third party candidate against Joe Biden is dangerous to our country,’ the statement said. ‘Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not  share the same values, vision or judgment. Today’s announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country.’  

Kennedy is the son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968, and the nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1963. 

One supporter brought a hand-drawn sign that read, ‘I want Camelot!’ a reference to the nickname for President John F. Kennedy’s administration.
