Former NBA player and member of the United States House of Representatives Tom McMillen reacted with alleged shock when confronted with his name appearing in the Jeffrey Epstein files. McMillen, 73, was a guest on the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast on Tuesday, December 2, when he was confronted with his name appearing in the files, which were released by Congress in November. Epstein, who died in prison in August 2019, was arrested in July 2019 for sex trafficking minors and was a registered sex offender from 2008 until his death. McMillen’s handwritten name showed up in a 1993 flight log, weeks after he left Congress after serving the state of Maryland for six years and two months after he was seen chatting with Epstein and President Donald Trump in an NBC video to promote Trump’s Mar-a-Lago, which is also featured during the podcast episode. Christina Ricci and More Stars React to Megyn Kelly’s Jeffrey Epstein Remarks “I don’t recall, and I don’t think it’s accurate. I don’t recall,” said McMillen, who joined the podcast via video call. McMillen played in the NBA from 1975 to 1986 with the Buffalo Braves, New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks and Washington Bullets. He served Maryland’s 4th District in the United States of Representatives from 1987 to 1993.

I don’t recall any of this,” McMillen insisted. He continued, “Please, can we move on? I thought we were talking about sports and stuff. This is stuff from 35 years ago. I don’t have any relationships here.” McMillen then announced he would be ending the interview abruptly. “I’m going to leave,” McMillen told Torre. “I’m sorry, I wanted to talk about the good things and some of the things about college sports and so forth.” McMillen added, “This is so long ago. I bet you don’t recall 35 years ago. So, let’s sign off. Give me your final question. What is it?” Torre asked McMillen if he had any “final comment” to help set the record straight. “I haven’t had any relationship with [Epstein] since the early ‘90s,” McMillen said. “So, I think that’s it. A lot of people knew him. I barely knew him. So, let’s move on.” After the conclusion of the interview, however, McMillen had plenty more to say. In an email statement to the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast on Tuesday, McMillen wrote, “I never had a close relationship or what I could …
