Turns out, Whoopi Goldberg is in the Epstein files, as are other castmembers of The View. (Whoopi Goldberg has 21 hits; Alyssa Farah Griffin, 20; Joy Behar, three; and Ana Navarro, two.)
A search of the cast members’ names on the Department of Justice website returned nearly four dozen (46) references.
Moderator Whoopi Goldberg led the way with 21 references, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin clocked in with 20, Joy Behar had three, and Ana Navarro had two. Fortunately for co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines, they weren’t mentioned at all (as of the release of the latest batch of files).
The search for references did take into account Goldberg going by just her first name, Farah Griffin’s maiden name, and Hostin’s maiden name (Cummings) and real first name (Asunción; with and without the accent mark).
NewsBusters discovered e-mails from a redacted address reaching out to Epstein and a “Larry V” seemingly on behalf of Goldberg, years after he was convicted.
The email involved a request for possible use of one of Epstein’s private jets to help Goldberg attend a White Feather Foundation charity event in Monaco. Read it for yourself:

The ladies of The View have been harping on the Epstein Files for months. Like all other members of their party, they thought that this was an effective… pic.twitter.com/j3l3IqFQ2i
The email, according to reports, was likely from Goldberg's agent. Now, on what basis would she feel she could ask such a favor? Is it beyond the possible that Goldberg and Epstein knew one another? Of course, as soon as she heard about being in the files, Whoopi went into denial, calling it a "fake list”.

With this much irony, she could have her shirts pressed while she's still wearing them.
Now, look, the usual suspects will argue that simply being in the Epstein files does not mean that Goldberg was on his island. But let's recall, please, that Goldberg herself rejected that argument when it came to Trump. She's on record as suggesting anyone who even TALKED to Epstein was guilty in her eyes. Let's also admit that the nature of the email suggests there was a relationship between Epstein and Goldberg far more substantial than the foaming-at-the-mouth denials we were subjected to mere months ago. She was even in his business reference.
And let's examine what her agent offered: The White Feather NGO would pay for the plane and the fuel — no small investment there. Where does that kind of money come from?
More irony: Epstein turned Whoopi down. One might speculate that even Epstein wanted nothing to do with her. In answer to the obvious question of how bad you have to be for Epstein to turn you down, apparently, Goldberg qualifies.
I'll be the first to admit this will likely amount to nothing in terms of directly connecting Goldberg to Epstein and his crimes. What it unquestionably does, however, is call Goldberg's judgment into question. Remember, this request came years AFTER Epstein's first conviction and despite all her loud denunciations of him. Also, how she has reacted when the shoe showed up on the opposite foot tells us a lot, particularly about her credibility when she tosses charges against Donald Trump, which she seemingly does with every breath.
