Several mind boggling lines here, my personal favorite is him trying to say he was using Epstein to get to some global health professionals because Epstein was well connected. My brother in Christ, you’re Bill Gates, who’s gonna say “No, sorry, I can’t talk to Mr. Gates at the moment. Oh, Epstein gave his word? Clear my schedule!”

      Before I saw your comment I was going to make a top level comment saying that to me he fidgets exactly like a little kid telling a lie. I used to do that myself when I was little but my mom was very kind about it.

      “Are you sure that’s what happened???”

      “Uh, huh.”

      “Are you sure?

      "Uh… - nuh, huh."

        I had posted a link to the same interview before I watched the full clip, I thought it was the full interview but interestingly this segment is not in it.

      IMO that doesn’t say anything that’s not already there from knowing he met with Epstein. It’s not that hard to imagine an innocent person getting associated with a controversial situation and struggling with addressing that specific issue with grace. Scheduling meetings with Jeffrey Epstein is simply not a situation an innocent person is going to haphazardly land in by some unfortunate accident.
