On the evening of September 8, 2014, New Mexico Attorney General and gubernatorial nominee Gary King, his running mate Deb Haaland and three campaign staff flew from Santa Fe to Washington Dulles on a Hawker 800XP chartered by Epstein’s staff through JEGE LLC. The operator’s trip sheet numbers the passengers “1. Gary King”, “2. Deb Haaland”, “3. Scott Tillman”, “4. Chris Khoury” and “5. Kaleigh Hubbard”, and covers none of them.1 The campaign reported paying the operator $22,060.90 on September 5.2

The split, and what it comes to
The message sent at 11:26 am on August 25 proposes a division of the cost, and the documents that follow it execute that division almost exactly. Read as thousands of dollars, “he can pay 11.6” and “two diffent entities 10 4” describe a charter split into about $11,600 from the client and about $10,400 from two companies. The Hawker was quoted sixteen minutes later, at 11:42 am, at $22,060.90.5 The two contributions the campaign recorded on September 1 were $5,200 from JEGE, LLC and $5,200 from Maple, Inc, which is $10,400 exactly.6 And $22,060.90 less $10,400 is $11,660.90.
That is arithmetic on figures cited above and not a new source. It shows that the sum named in the message as the share of “two diffent entities” is the sum of the two contributions that arrived, and that the remainder is the figure the message gives for what the client would pay. It does not establish what any person intended by it, and no document cited here states that the contributions were made in order to meet the charter price.
Aftermath
King said in 2026 that he had not known the aircraft was connected to Epstein and that his staff had told him Bill Richardson was helping arrange a plane; Haaland’s spokesperson said the way the plane was chartered was never communicated to her.910

Injet trip information sheet, trip and quote number 23274, client “Jege LLC”, aircraft “N225RP - HAWKER 800XP”, departure 08:00 PM from Santa Fe Municipal (KSAF) on Monday 09/08/2014 MDT, arrival at Dulles International (KIAD) EDT, 1376 NM, with a numbered passenger manifest of five and the line “Client Transportation: passenger arranged”. ⚠ The sheet does not agree with itself on the arrival time as the extraction reads it: the arrival field extracts as “0116 AM”, while the same sheet prints a flight time of 03:24 and a block time of 03:36, and a 03:36 block from an 08:00 PM MDT departure gives 1:36 am EDT. This page follows the block time. The sheet was not opened at the image, so which of the two the printed arrival field carries is not settled here. https://epstein-data.com/EFTA00310528 ↩ ↩2
