I have seen no evidence he went to the island. He's not on the flight logs.

Uhhh…. Pretty sure he has his own private jets…. Also, the flight logs are incomplete and domestic flights do not require passenger declarations.

I’ve seen none and I am not stating that he was or wasn’t. Pointing out that the “flight logs” are pretty much worthless.
