Russell Wilson Denies Link After DOJ Epstein Files Cite 2019 Jet Talks

The newly released emails reference him only as a prospective buyer through intermediaries, not as a correspondent or suspect.

Overview

  • The Justice Department published over 3 million Epstein-related records on Jan. 30 under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and officials cautioned that names in the trove are not evidence of wrongdoing.
  • Among the documents, 2019 emails from pilot Larry Visoski discuss Wilson as a potential buyer of Epstein’s Gulfstream G‑IV.
  • The messages say Wilson and his wife, Ciara, viewed the aircraft, took photos and video, and sought discretion while his Seahawks contract talks were underway.
  • Proposed terms outlined a $500,000 non‑refundable option to close in 90 days at $2.7 million or a $3.2 million purchase with upgrades and engine care costs.
  • Wilson publicly denied any connection, saying he never met or spoke with Epstein and never bought the plane, and his publicist said he was unaware of any Epstein tie.
