Bill Clinton denies visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s private island

[Social Media]

 

In his forthcoming memoir *Citizen,* former President Bill Clinton addresses his past connections to Jeffrey Epstein, adamantly denying allegations of visiting Epstein's private Caribbean island while acknowledging travel on the financier’s private plane in 2002 and 2003. Clinton claims his use of Epstein's plane—infamously dubbed the “Lolita Express”—was tied to his work with the Clinton Global Initiative.  

 

 

“The bottom line is, even though it allowed me to visit the work of my foundation, traveling on Epstein’s plane was not worth the years of questioning afterward,” Clinton writes in the memoir, according to excerpts reported by *The US Sun*. He admits to finding Epstein “odd” but insists he had no knowledge of the crimes later associated with the disgraced financier. “He hurt a lot of people, but I knew nothing about it, and by the time he was first arrested in 2005, I had stopped contact with him. I’ve never visited his island,” Clinton states.  

 

Epstein’s private island, Little Saint James, has been at the center of allegations of underage sex trafficking. Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s accusers, alleged in 2020 that Clinton was a guest on the island, though she did not accuse him of any wrongdoing. Clinton denies these claims and expresses regret for having ever met Epstein. “I wish I had never met him,” he writes.  

 

The memoir also reveals that Clinton met Epstein privately on only two occasions—once at Epstein’s Upper East Side townhouse and another time at the Clinton Global Initiative offices in Harlem. These interactions, according to Clinton, were brief.  

 

In 2019, a Clinton spokesperson confirmed the former president flew on Epstein’s plane four times between 2002 and 2003, traveling to Europe, Asia, and Africa. One such trip included a stop in Africa for a humanitarian mission, during which Clinton was photographed receiving a backrub from Chauntae Davies, a flight attendant and Epstein accuser. Davies later clarified that the massage occurred during a layover and described it as consensual and nonsexual.  

 

Beyond the Epstein controversy, Clinton uses *Citizen* to reflect on his 2018 NBC interview with Craig Melvin, where he was questioned about his affair with Monica Lewinsky in light of the MeToo movement. Clinton recalls being “caught off guard” and frustrated during the interview, particularly when pressed about whether he had personally apologized to Lewinsky.  

 

“I said, ‘No, I felt terrible then,’” Clinton writes, paraphrasing his response to Melvin. The interviewer followed up, asking, “‘Did you ever apologize to her?’” Clinton responded that he had apologized publicly multiple times, but Melvin challenged him, stating others claimed no direct apology had been made.  

 

Clinton explains in the book that he publicly apologized in 1999 alongside faith leaders at the White House, naming Lewinsky, her family, his own family, and the American public as the parties he wronged. “I meant it then, and I mean it today,” he concludes.  

The memoir presents Clinton’s efforts to clarify lingering questions about his controversial associations and past actions, offering insights into both the Epstein connection and the fallout from his presidency’s most notorious scandal.

Clinton's. (plural). Wrote the modern day book on deception.   I question if they can really rationalize the truth from their lies. It is a very interesting read when you get one of the unauthorized biographies.  I often wondered how long it takes for them to forget about the past.

I would suspect that Bill Clinton thinks about this particular transgression every day of his life, with great regret.

Yeah OK Bill.

 

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman".

 

Like most Democrats, he is a known liar.

If they aren't up for it, they don't touch you.
