Valéria Chomsky Denies Epstein’s Claim of Lula Phone Call Mediated by Noam Chomsky

The denial follows the release of Epstein’s redacted messages by the U.S. Congress, which provide no independent proof of the alleged call.

Overview

  • Valéria Chomsky told CNN Brasil the allegation is “baseless and false” and said she was present throughout Noam Chomsky’s 20 September 2018 visit with Lula.
  • She said visitors surrendered phones at reception and were searched by Brazil’s Federal Police before entering the meeting area.
  • The Presidency’s communications office stated the purported phone conversation “never happened.”
  • Lula’s then-lawyer, Luiz Carlos Rocha, said he accompanied the visit and that cell phones were not permitted in the Federal Police cellblock.
  • Epstein’s 21 September 2018 message claimed he was connected to Lula by Chomsky and praised Jair Bolsonaro, though the interlocutor’s identity is redacted in the documents.
