General Treasurer Magaziner Says Father Had ‘No Relationship’ with Jeffrey Epstein Other Than Travel
Tuesday, August 13, 2019
A GoLocal investigation first published on Monday -- which found multiple global trips by Ira Magaziner on sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet -- is being dismissed by his son Rhode Island General Treasurer Seth Magaziner.
According to flight logs for Epstein’s jet, Magaziner traveled a number of times with Epstein, former President Bill Clinton and on some trips with supermodel Naomi Campbell and Hollywood actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker.
Epstein’s plane that Magaziner flew on was a Gulfstream II-B, a 14-seat, $20 million plane.

Ira Magaziner and his organization, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, both refused to answers about his relationship with Epstein.
In an unusual twist, Seth Magaziner’s state-funded press person Evan England answered GoLocal's personal inquiries to the younger Magaziner.
“Ira Magaziner and Jeffrey Epstein had no relationship whatsoever other than meeting in passing while on the same trips with President Clinton a few times in the early 2000s, prior to when Epstein’s terrible actions became known,” said England.
The names of Epstein’s friends and business associates are pouring out in plane logs, lawsuits, and Epstein’s ‘black book.’
The book lists notable people from Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, and Ehud Barak to Alec Baldwin, Ralph Fiennes, Mick Jagger, and even Courtney Love. And, Ira Magaziner is listed complete with his personal email and phone number.
New York Times columnist James B. Stewart, published in Tuesday's New York Times titled, "The Day Jeffrey Epstein Told Me He Had Dirt on Powerful People," he wrote:
Almost exactly a year ago, on Aug. 16, 2018, I visited Jeffrey Epstein at his cavernous Manhattan mansion.
The overriding impression I took away from our roughly 90-minute conversation was that Mr. Epstein knew an astonishing number of rich, famous and powerful people, and had photos to prove it. He also claimed to know a great deal about these people, some of it potentially damaging or embarrassing, including details about their supposed sexual proclivities and recreational drug use.
