Former president Bill Clinton on Monday issued a statement on new sex trafficking charges against financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, saying he knew nothing about the “terrible crimes” Epstein is accused of.
“President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” the statement from a Clinton spokesperson reads.
“In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation," the statement adds.
Flight logs from Epstein’s private jet published by Gawker in 2015 put Clinton on the plane more than a dozen times.
Epstein was arrested over the weekend on new sex trafficking charges and has pleaded not guilty. U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said nude photos of apparently underage girls were recovered from the financier’s Manhattan mansion.
“We are asking anyone who may have been victimized by Jeffrey Epstein, or anyone who may have information about his alleged criminal behavior, to please call us," FBI Assistant Director William Sweeney said in a statement Monday.
The new charges have also led to increased scrutiny on Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, who, as a U.S. Attorney, approved Epstein’s 2008 plea deal on charges of soliciting underage girls that allowed him to serve just over a year and spend 16 hours a day outside of prison.
“I am not a crook!”
The old Clinton parsing trick.
Pre-emptive denial? Methinks he doth protest too much.
Hey BJ Bill, if you knew nothing about the charges, why not just remain silent? Covering your ass BJ?
It depends on the meaning of “is”.
“In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation,” the statement adds.

So Bill, what about BEFORE and AFTER 2002 & 2003? And what about trips on OTHER AIRPLANES that didn’t belong to Epstein?
Yeah, until he heard about it on the news...
The FBI insurance policy. Planted and discovered on Sunday while Eptstein was being arrested at Teterboro airport Sunday.
What about the photo of them floating around in the tropical water??
An impeached perjurer wants us to believe him.
The Clintons never do or say anything unless there is a reason.
Exactly. He admits to know nothing about the specific events related to Epstien’s Florida charges or new Federal charges. And it may well be. But he made no denial of any other illegal activities of which he may be aware or have been a participant that are not yet the subject of criminal charges.
Clinton coming out with a statement. Sort of odd isn’t it? I mean....why did slick feel compelled to make a statement? (rhetorical)
Guilty dog barks first.
“I did not have sexual relations with those children.”
Bu!!sh!$ 26 trips on the Lolita express to include ditching his protection and he knows nothing. Next he will be saying he has been sleeping in the same bed with his wife when he went.
