Whoopi Goldberg was forced to make an awkward on-air confession about why her name appears in the Epstein files during Tuesday's episode of The View.

Shortly after reality star Savannah Chrisley was controversially introduced as a guest panelist for the rest of the week, the co-host, 70, announced that her name came up in an email exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and a redacted individual.

The message centered on an attempt to find a private plane for Goldberg to jet to Monaco to attend an event hosted by Julian Lennon's charity, the White Feather Foundation.

As the email appeared on the screen, Goldberg pointedly said: 'Now, in the name of transparency… my name is in the files.'

Reading the message aloud, she continued: 'It says, "Whoopi needs a plane to get to Monaco… Julian Lennon's charity is paying for it. They don't want to charter so they're looking for private owners. Here's the info."

'And they give all the information and they're saying, "Do you want to offer your G2?"'

At this, co-host Sunny Hostin stressed that Epstein declined the offer in a separate message.

'And it looks like they said no thanks,' she pointed out.

Have you noticed that when anyone on the LEFT is outed, they were always doing some sort of CHARITY work.

“First Bill Clinton’s charity work. Now Whoopi’s. I see a pattern.”

Yea a ruthless gang a counterfeiters. They are known as the three graces: Faith, Hope and Charity. Faith Prints it, Hope distributes it and the profits go to Charity.
