An NFL star has moved quickly to address his unexpected mention in the latest release of Jeffrey Epstein–related records. Ten-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson was referenced in newly disclosed Justice Department emails from 2019 involving Epstein and his longtime pilot, Larry Visoski, which discussed Wilson as a possible buyer of Epstein’s Gulfstream G-IV private jet. According to the emails, Epstein authorized Visoski to show the aircraft to Wilson on Jan. 25, 2019. Visoski later claimed that Wilson and his wife, Ciara, toured the plane and took photos and video, and suggested Wilson was eager to secure the jet but wanted to wait until after finalizing a new contract with the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson forcefully rejected that account. “NOPE!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT! Not TODAY satan! Some Random plane broker tried to sell me a plane. I had no idea whose plane and never bought the plane. Never talked nor Never met the man. Thank God!!” he wrote on X. His publicist later confirmed Wilson had no knowledge of any connection between the plane and Epstein and never completed a deal.
