Maxwell facilitated the connection between Clinton and Epstein after Clinton left the White House
Clinton traveled on Epstein's private jet at least 24 times between 2002-2003 for philanthropic work
Email correspondence between Maxwell and Clinton's aide shows their efforts to maintain the connection
The documents don't implicate Clinton in wrongdoing but are likely to be scrutinized by Congress
📖 Full Retelling
Documents released by the Department of Justice reveal how Ghislaine Maxwell facilitated the connection between former US President Bill Clinton and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein in the early 2000s, after Clinton left the White House and was seeking wealthy donors for his foundation and philanthropic initiatives. The newly released material includes photos showing Clinton swimming with Maxwell, smiling with Epstein at a Rolling Stones concert in Hong Kong, and reclining in a hot tub alongside an unidentified person. Flight logs indicate Clinton traveled on Epstein's private jet at least 24 times between 2002 and 2003, visiting Africa, Europe, Asia, Russia, and various US locations, reportedly in connection with Clinton Foundation work. Email correspondence between Maxwell and Clinton's aide Doug Band, whom she called her 'social matchmaker,' reveals the behind-the-scenes efforts to maintain the connection, with communications that included flattery and sexual innuendo. While the documents don't implicate Clinton in any wrongdoing, they are likely to be central to questioning by a Republican-led congressional committee examining powerful figures' associations with Epstein.

How Ghislaine Maxwell brought Bill Clinton into Epstein's orbit 7 hours ago Share Save Kayla Epstein New York Share Save There is a photo that shows Bill Clinton taking a night-time swim alongside Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite now convicted of sex trafficking. Another captures him smiling backstage at a Rolling Stones concert in Hong Kong with Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier and now globally notorious sex offender. A third undated snap shows the former US president reclining in a hot tub beside someone whose face is blacked out to protect their identity. Clinton's links to Epstein have been well known for years, with the former president stating it was his charity work after leaving the White House that brought them together. Now images and emails released by the Department of Justice provide clues about the extent of the relationship, and reveal the work going on behind the scenes by Maxwell to nurture the connection between the two men. The newly released material is likely to play a central part in tough questioning the former Democratic president will undergo by a Republican-led congressional committee on Friday. It will make Clinton the latest powerful figure to face scrutiny for their association with the late disgraced financier. The files do not implicate Clinton in any wrongdoing; he has not been accused of misconduct by Epstein's victims who have come forward so far, and there is no proof he knew of his crimes. Clinton's spokesperson has said the photos are decades old and Clinton had stopped associating with Epstein before his crimes came to light. But the new material does apparently indicate how Clinton's world collided with Epstein's in the early 2000s, when Clinton was redefining himself as an ex-president on a philanthropic mission. He was in the market for wealthy donors to the Clinton Foundation and later to the Clinton Global Initiative, a gathering of leaders devoted to addressing world problems. At the time, Epstein was a money ma...
