Bill Clinton
Former US President (42nd) · American · Active — denies wrongdoing
Clinton's connection to Epstein rests primarily on documented travel records. Flight logs from Epstein's private aircraft show Clinton as a passenger on at least 26 flights between 2001 and 2003. Clinton's office has confirmed some of these flights, stating they related to humanitarian work in Africa and Asia. Clinton has denied visiting Epstein's private island.
Clinton and Epstein moved in overlapping social circles during the early 2000s. No criminal allegations have been made against Clinton in relation to Epstein's activities. Virginia Giuffre did not name Clinton as someone she was trafficked to. The 2024 unsealing of civil case documents included references to Clinton, though the court explicitly noted that being named did not constitute an accusation of wrongdoing.
Clinton has stated that he knows nothing about Epstein's crimes.

Flight logs confirmed by media investigations show Clinton flew on Epstein's aircraft at least 26 times between 2001 and 2003, often with Secret Service agents listed as not present on the manifest. He is named in the unsealed 2024 court documents. Witness Johanna Sjoberg testified in a deposition that Epstein once remarked "Clinton likes them young," which she took as a reference to young girls. Clinton is not accused of any crime and no victim has directly named him as a participant in abuse.
A spokesperson for Clinton stated he "knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida" and that he had taken a small number of flights for a humanitarian trip.
