Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. went hunting for dinosaur bones in the Dakotas with child sex traffickers Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, according to the latest tranche of documents released by the Justice Department.
As the fallout over the Epstein files continues, an email exchange between the two sex predators centers on the now-Trump Cabinet secretary, one of the many prominent people whose friendship the pair cultivated over the years.
The following day, Maxwell replies: Love that - didnt we go fossil hunting with him and Bobby Kennedy in N Dakota?
Yes, Epstein replies.
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.

(41,311 posts)Once a fossil is removed from the ground, all the info regarding the environment in which it formed is lost and cannot be recreated. Preserved for (hundreds of) millions of years, then wiped out in a single day by egotists searching for "interesting" souvenirs.

(41,311 posts)I've done a fair amount of fossil hunting myself (small potatoes) and know of many important finds made by amateurs who did the right thing. I can't imagine Epstein thinking anything but "how much can we sell this for ?".
