President Donald Trump Friday claimed he never visited Epstein's infamous island, Little Saint James, which was the den of Epstein's sex trafficking, but former president Bill Clinton visited the island 28 times.
This is not a new allegation, though the number 28 from Donald Trump is absolutely new. Earlier, Clinton's spokespersons denied the allegations and said Clinton never visited the island. Clinton made some trips on Epstein's private jet, but that was for the Clinton Foundation and he had a Secret Service detail. Epstein's flight log also showed no record of Clinton flying anywhere near Epstein island.
When Clinton and Epstein became 'friends'
According to records, Clinton spent nine days with Epstein on a tour of Africa in 2002.
On September 21, 2002, Clinton took Epstein's plane along with Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Ghislaine Maxwell and also Epstein. Also present was a 21-year-old masseuse, Chauntae Davies who later testified that she was repeatedly raped and abused by Epstein.
After the trip, Clinton thanked Epstein but never suggested that the two were friends. “Jeffrey is both a highly successful financier and a committed philanthropist,” he told New York Magazine. “I especially appreciate his insights and generosity during the recent trip to Africa.”
Epstein, on the other hand, reportedly told friends that Clinton stunned foreign leaders in the same way Mike Tyson would if he walked into a downtown gym, saying: “He’s the world’s greatest politician”.
In late 2003, Epstein organised a dinner in honour of Clinton in New York but Clinton did not show up.
Epstein bought a painting of Clinton in red high heels and a blue dress and displayed that in his New York mansion.
Long after Epstein's sex trafficking was reported and Epstein finished his 13-month prison sentence for sexually abusing a minor, Ghislaine Maxwell was invited to the wedding of Chelsea Clinton in 2010.
