Kelly acknowledged Epstein's abuse of underage girls, telling Ungar-Sargon, "[Epstein] did like them young, and there were several young women who he did this to who were minors, who were underage. There's just no question about that."
She then insisted that Trump was not involved, adding, "That is a true fact about Jeffrey Epstein. But that is not a true fact about Donald Trump."
Kelly went on to allege that she knew "somebody very, very close" to the Epstein case "who is in a position to know virtually everything." She claimed the unidentified individual "told me, from the start years and years ago, that Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile."
"He was into the barely legal type. Like, he liked 15-year-old girls. And I realize this is disgusting. I'm definitely not trying to make an excuse for this," she continued. "I'm just giving you facts, that he wasn't into, like, 8-year-olds. But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby."
