George Stephanopoulos issued a statement saying he shouldn’t have had dinner at Jeffrey Epstein’s house AFTER he got out of prison, claiming he didn’t know about his conviction. Everyone knew. It was major news all year. A newsman didn’t know. What a ridiculous lie.

ABC political correspondent George Stephanopoulos said he regrets dining with Jeffrey Epstein about a year after the accused sex trafficker finished his first stint in jail for pleading guilty to soliciting an underage prostitute.

“That dinner was the first and last time I’ve seen him,” Stephanopoulos said in an email to The New York Times. “I should have done more due diligence. It was a mistake to go.”

Epstein hosted Stephanopoulos and a slew of other media insiders — including news anchors Katie Couric and Charlie Rose, comedian Chelsea Handler and director Woody Allen — at his Manhattan townhome in December 2010 for a chance to meet Prince Andrew, who at the time was fourth in line to the British throne, The Daily Beast reported in 2011.
