The United States website Daily Beast reports that residents of the New York City building owned by Mark Epstein, the younger brother of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, said former Prime Minister Ehud Barak visited the building many times in recent years.
Previous reports in the U.S. indicate that the building is linked to charges against Jeffrey Epstein. When asked about his visit to the building, Barak told the Daily Beast, “Despite the fact that there was no wrongdoing on my part, and that there is not even the faintest suspicion of wrongdoing on my part, I’m not going to address these questions because in the current political environment in Israel, the mere fact of my response to such a question is churned up as spin in the political game.”
