The Jeffrey Epstein case has captivated the world in recent years, with numerous high-profile individuals being linked to the infamous financier and convicted sex offender.
One such individual is former U.S. President Bill Clinton.
With the release of court documents from the Epstein case this week, we now have more information about the nature of their relationship, and it is rather unsettling.
The court documents in question are from a 2016 defamation lawsuit filed by Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of Epstein’s alleged victims, against Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving 20 years in prison for her involvement in the late billionaire pedophile’s crimes.
Attorneys for Giuffre sought to depose Clinton as part of her defamation lawsuit against Maxwell because, they argued, Clinton “is a key person who can provide information about his close relationship with Defendant and Mr. Epstein,” according to a court document unsealed on Wednesday. Epstein died in prison back in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
There are no allegations of wrongdoing on Clinton’s part, but a close and thoroughly documented relationship with a convicted pedophile and sex trafficker raises eyebrows.

Clinton ‘A Key Person’ In Epstein/Maxwell Relationship – Allegedly Liked Young Girls
It is necessary to remind observers that Clinton’s name being mentioned in these court documents does not amount to allegations of illegal activity.
However, one witness remarked on what Epstein had allegedly told her regarding the former President’s preferences when it came to the opposite sex.
Johanna Sjoberg, another woman who claimed Epstein sexually abused her, said in her deposition that the financier told her “Clinton likes them young, referring to girls.”
Clinton, of course, had an affair with Monica Lewinsky in the White House, a scandal that rocked the political world in the 1990s. It was a relationship that would eventually lead to his impeachment for perjury and obstruction of justice as he tried to cover up his actions.
The affair between Clinton and Lewinsky was widely seen as an abuse of power on the part of the then-President, due to their career positions and age difference.
Clinton was 49 at the time, while Lewinsky was just 22.
“Clinton likes them young.”
Clinton was also accused of multiple infidelities, sexual assaults, and even rape by Juanita Broaddrick, a former nursing home owner.

Clinton Denies Having A Close Personal Relationship With Epstein
Angel Ureña, a spokesperson for Bill Clinton responded to the bombshell court documents by pointing to a statement previously made in 2019, telling Newsweek that “nothing has changed” since that time.
Following Epstein’s arrest that year, Ureña tweeted a statement in which the former President admitted to taking a “total of four trips” on the billionaire’s private plane.
In addition to the four admitted trips, Clinton traveled on Epstein’s private jet – the “Lolita Express” – 26 separate times, according to a Fox News analysis. Other analyses of flight logs led to claims of fewer trips.
Doug Band, a former top aide to Clinton, made shocking allegations in a 2020 interview with Vanity Fair, including claims that the former president took a trip in 2003 to Epstein’s famed private island.
Epstein made at least 17 visits to the White House, according to presidential logs.
There is no evidence that Clinton ever visited Epstein’s Caribbean island, Little St. James. Maxwell’s lawyers state that he “did not, in fact travel to, nor was he present on, Little St James Island between January 1, 2001 and January 1, 2003.”
While the former president’s camp denies the close personal relationship with Epstein, another court document shows Giuffre justifying deposing Clinton because of what she describes specifically as his “close personal relationship” with Epstein.
