Bill Clinton Says Trump Told Him Of 'Some Great Times' With Jeffrey Epstein Bill Clinton testified that former President Donald Trump once described their past association with Jeffrey Epstein as "some great times," though the relationship reportedly soured over a real estate dispute. Clinton stated that Trump mentioned their history during a 2002-03 golf event after Clinton left the White House. Clinton emphasized that the exchange did not lead him to believe Trump was involved in any improper activities related to Epstein. Both Clinton and Trump have denied seeing evidence of Epstein’s sex trafficking activities. They have also both stated they were not aware of any criminal wrongdoing tied to the financier, who was convicted in 2008 of soliciting prostitution from a minor. Epstein, who maintained connections with numerous business and political figures, died in prison in 2019 while facing federal sex-trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide. Clinton described being introduced to Epstein by his former Treasury Secretary, Larry Summers, who framed Epstein as a donor willing to fund global travel for Clinton’s AIDS foundation. Clinton recounted flying on Epstein’s private jet for trips to Asia, Africa, and Europe, but said he moved on to other donors after 2003. He admitted to receiving a neck massage from a flight attendant later identified as an Epstein abuse survivor but claimed he was unaware of Epstein’s alleged misconduct at the time. Clinton stated he never had sexual contact with anyone associated with Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell and dismissed the situation as a common practice on luxury flights. Clinton also clarified he never visited Epstein’s Caribbean island and was unaware of Epstein’s 17 visits to the White House during Clinton’s presidency.#donald_trump #larry_summers #jeffrey_epstein #hillary_clinton #bill_clinton
Bill and Hillary Clinton's testimony about Jeffrey Epstein released Hillary Clinton expressed frustration during a congressional hearing when asked about the leak of an image related to Jeffrey Epstein. When informed of the leak, she stated, "I'm done with this. If you guys are doing that, I am done," and warned that she would be held in contempt if the process continued. The former secretary of state nearly stormed out of the hearing, slamming her fist on the table and declaring, "It doesn't matter. We are all abiding by the same rules." Clinton’s lawyer later criticized the committee for leaking the image, calling it "unacceptable" and "unprofessional," and emphasized that the hearing should follow established rules. Clinton testified that she had "no idea" of Epstein’s crimes, though her lawyer pointed out that she had requested an open hearing to allow public viewing in real time. The committee denied the request, prompting Clinton to stand up and say, "I am done." The hearing was paused for a break, and when it resumed, Clinton’s legal team continued to protest the leak. The hearing also included questions about the debunked "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which falsely claimed a pedophilia ring linked to Clinton’s inner circle operated from a Washington pizzeria. Republican Lauren Boebert asked if Clinton had reviewed Epstein files referencing Pizzagate, to which Clinton responded, "Pizzagate was totally made up. It was an outrageous allegation that ended up hurting a number of people." Boebert pressed further, but Clinton’s lawyers objected to the questions. Another Republican, Eric Burlison, brought up UFO files declassified under Bill Clinton’s presidency, noting that Hillary Clinton’s adviser had once said she would release them if elected.#jeffrey_epstein #hillary_clinton #bill_clinton #lauren_boebert #eric_burlison
