BREAKING: Bill Clinton Releases Statement on Epstein Scandal

Clinton has long been associated with Epstein.

Former Democrat president Bill Clinton released a statement Monday evening after the arrest of his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein on child sex trafficking conspiracy charges.

“President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida in some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” Clinton’s spokesman said.

The statement continued:

“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 said. “Staff, supporters of the foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip. He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein’s New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail. He’s not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and he has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida.”

But Fox News disputed the claim that Clinton took only four trips on the infamous airplane known as the “Lolita Express,” citing court documents obtained in 2016 which showed that Clinton flew on the plane at least 26 times. Those documents reportedly show that Clinton flew on the plane between 2001 and 2003, when Clinton had no idea what Epstein was up to, according to his Monday statement.

Paul Joseph Watson reported Monday that The Clinton Presidential Library “refused to hand over information relating to Bill Clinton’s ties” to Epstein.

Epstein, convicted on molestation charges in 2007, served only about a year of jail time, and was able to spend six days per week working from home via a plea agreement which his attorneys worked out with prosecutors.

But independent journalist Mike Cernovich, along with The Miami Herald, sued to obtain over 2,000 documents pertaining Epstein’s legal troubles. After a lengthy court battle, they won, and the documents were released last Wednesday.

Epstein was arrested Saturday before his Manhattan mansion was torn to shreds by investigators, who allegedly found nude photos of underaged girls on his laptop. He was arraigned in federal court on Monday, and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Worrying that this thing could Hurt trump is like worrying that the exposure of the roots of the KKK will hurt Trump.

It’s deflection. This Epstein thing must be sending shock waves through the democrat machine.

BILLY HAS CONVENIENT MEMORY LAPSES but the paper trail doesnt lie

<><> Bill Clinton and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein flew on Epstein’s private jet in 2002 to meet with the Sultan of Brunei.

<><> The National Enquirer reported flight logs reveal Epstein picked up Clinton at a Japanese naval airport.

<><> The mega-rich Sultan later donated between $1-5 million to the Clinton Presidential Library in Arkansas.

All of that is proveable.

Those mideast potentates are known to have kinky sex fetishes.....was that part of the Clinton deal?

A “kid” pro quo (smirk)

Why does he feel compelled to issue a statement about this?

Very strange given his usual MO of having to drag even the simplest info out of him so many times in the past.

....he has never been to Little St. James Island

Either it was a lie saying he went there or he is confident that all records indicating such trips have been expunged.

We know ABSOLUTELY that Bubba will lie to coverup "stuff".

Will Epstein lie for him?? You bet!! Where the hell do you think Epstein has gotten his "power" from all these years.

Maybe, by accident, they will meet on the tarmac when Epstein comes to Town.

He did try to get out in front of this, didn’t he?

REVEALED: Bill Clinton invited Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged accomplice in sex ring to Chelsea’s wedding AFTER multiple underage girls told police she had recruited them for pedophile

Former president released a statement on Monday about the Epstein case

Financier sex offender was arraigned in federal court, where he pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking crimes

Epstein is accused of luring girls as young as 14 to his New York and Florida homes and paying them for sex acts

Clinton says he ‘knows nothing about the terrible crimes’ Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida ‘or those with which he has been recently charged in New York’

The 42nd president also says he took just four trips on Epstein’s private jet and that the ‘Secret Service traveled on every leg of every trip’

In 2016, it was reported that Clinton flew on Epstein’s jet 26 times

Why is there a difference between four acknowledged trips and 26 flight log trips? Why? Why? Why?
