Question

Senator Adam Schiff visited Epstein Island 78 times.

Answer 1

Senator Adam Schiff's name appears neither on the flight logs nor on any of the documents released regarding Jeffrey Epstein. This claim was initially made from an account on Facebook without any explanation, evidence, or backing, and it was just posted to grab attention. This claim has been proven to be false by various other fact-checking sources, while the claim has also been shared throughout other social media platforms by engagement-baiting conspiracy-spewing accounts (such as the one you've linked). There is absolutely zero evidence to prove this as true.

I like that you were able to not only talk about where this claim came from but also provided evidence that this claim was false, especially noting that their name wasn't on any of the evidence (Flight Logs and Documentations.) I like the piece of evidence that you used was the actual documentation of the logs.

Answer 2

This claim is false, the unsealed court documents from the trial do not mention Schiff nor do the flight logs. This misinformation started with a Facebook post Jan. 4 2023 that says “BREAKING: Adam Schiff visited Epstein Island over 70 times!” https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/no-evidence-rep-adam-schiff-visited-epsteins-island-2024-01-10/ 

The above link also includes direct links to the court documents and the flight logs.

There is also an altered photo of Schiff with Epstein, but the real photo is with his father. The photo with his father was originally posted on Facebook and can be seen as the correct one.

I appreciate you finding the origin of this claim, that is a great way to disprove something.

Answer 3

The claim that senator Adam Schiff visited Epstein Island 78 times is seemingly false. Based on the leaked travel logs from Epstein's private jet Senator Schiff's name is not mentioned once making this claim false. This misinformed claim started by a Facebook post saying, "“BREAKING: Adam Schiff visited Epstein Island over 70 times!” without any proof or claims using it as bait for more clicks and views. Making the claim that Senator Schiff visited Epstein Island 78 times seemingly not true at all.

Answer 4

The charge that Rep. Adam Schiff traveled to Epstein Island 78 times is not true. There is no evidence to support this claim, as his name never appears on any of Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs or court records that were recently released. Recent court documents released in January 2024 also fail to include Schiff on the list of people associated with Epstein. USA TODAY has fact-checked this claim and determined that Schiff's name does not appear in Epstein's documents. This claim is a look-alike of politically motivated disinformation that can be found on the internet.
