RFK Jr.'s dinosaur bone hunt with Epstein and Maxwell revealed in DOJ trove

Newly released Justice Department documents are revealing details of a bizarre trip involving Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, according to a report from The Daily Beast.

The files include a 2012 email exchange between the accused sex trafficker Epstein and his convicted accomplice, Maxwell, discussing a fossil-hunting excursion in the Dakotas. In one message, Epstein described plans for “dinosaur and fossil hunting with jack horner on the ranch.”

Maxwell responded enthusiastically. “Love that – didn’t we go fossil hunting with him and Bobby Kennedy in N Dakota?” Epstein replied simply: “Yes.”

The trip resurfaced during a Justice Department interview with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, according to The Daily Beast. She seemed to catch Attorney General Todd Blanche off guard when, referring to Epstein, she said: “Bobby Kennedy knew him," the outlet reported.

When Blanche asked Maxwell to “say that again about Bobby Kennedy,” she responded: “We went on a trip together. We went... dinosaur bone hunting in the Dakotas,” according to transcripts and audio contained in the files.

“The trip actually took place in South Dakota, on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, where collecting fossils on reservation land without explicit tribal permission is considered looting,” The Daily Beast said Friday.

Kennedy has not been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein and has said he was unaware of the abuse.

“But the files have nonetheless spotlighted the links Epstein and Maxwell had not just with the president, who was a known associate of Epstein’s for years, but with others in Trump’s orbit,” the outlet concluded. Other prominent figures in the MAGA world mentioned in the latest trove of Epstein-related documents include Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
