Former President Bill Clinton, according to multiple reports, will be identified as “John Doe 36” and mentioned over 50 times in documents set to be released this week pertaining to notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
ABC News was the first to report that Clinton will be named but cautioned “there is no indication the sealed records contain evidence of illegal conduct” by the former president.
The files, reportedly set to be released in the coming days, are expected to include the names of nearly 200 individuals – some associated with the late sex offender and some not, as well as other information related to Epstein’s criminal activities.
A Manhattan federal judge ordered the release of the documents involved in a since-settled defamation lawsuit filed by Epstein accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, back in 2015. Giuffre brought the suit against Epstein’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently in prison for the crimes.

Bill Clinton Set To Be Exposed In Jeffrey Epstein Document Dump
According to ABC News, Clinton is identified as “Doe 36” in the redacted filings. He is mentioned in connection to attempts by Giuffre’s legal team to subpoena him for deposition testimony regarding his relationship with Epstein.
It is important to note that the documents do not accuse Clinton of any illegal activity, according to early reports. Maxwell’s legal team argued that Giuffre’s claim was a fabrication.
Giuffre claimed during litigation of her lawsuit that she met the ex-president on Epstein’s private Caribbean island.
Clinton’s office responded to news of the former President being named dozens of times in the new Epstein document dump by pointing the Washington Examiner to a 2019 statement that insists he “has never been accused of any wrongdoing.”
The statement at the time admitted Bill Clinton had traveled with Jeffrey Epstein on four occasions but that he knew “nothing about the terrible crimes” he had committed.
Epstein was convicted of procuring for prostitution a girl below the age of 18 in 2008 and was facing sex trafficking charges until he died, according to authorities by suicide, in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.
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, but there is no denying he traveled on the plane.
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.
Band is among those whose links to Epstein are set to be exposed in the new tranche of documents. His name appears in six files according to the Daily Mail.
White House logs obtained by the Daily Mail show Clinton didn’t just visit with Epstein, the convicted sex offender went to him as well.
The logs show Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times between 1993 and 1995. During those visits, Epstein brought a total of eight women along with him, according to the report.

Tucker Carlson Reignites Debate About Epstein’s Death
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has reignited speculation about the death of Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting that he may have been murdered in his jail cell.
In a recent interview with former President Donald Trump, Carlson questioned the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death and the subsequent investigation.
He also released a video of Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, attempting to obtain a prehospital care report from the night of his brother’s death.
“The U.S. government claims Jeffrey Epstein killed himself in a federal detention facility in Manhattan four and a half years ago, just before his trial,” Carlson wrote on X. “If that’s true, why are there so few records available from that night?”
Carlson has previously claimed in the interview with Trump that, despite the official ruling that Epstein committed suicide in his jail cell, “He was killed.”
Readers will recall that all the guards responsible for his cell “fell asleep” at precisely the correct moment, and that the cameras watching his cell all also failed at such a time as to fail to have recorded anything.
Representative Tim Burchett (R-TN), in an interview several days ago, claimed members of Congress are “compromised” into not providing public information on Epstein.
Burchett also suggested that “somebody of power” had killed Epstein due to his connections to Bill Clinton, whom he referred to as “a boob.”
“So you’re saying that right now … there are members of Congress who have been compromised by either special interests or the intelligence community to not give the American public information on Jeffrey Epstein?” Burchett was asked.
“I believe so,” he replied. “One hundred percent.”
In addition to Clinton, the Jeffrey Epstein document release could potentially reveal the names of numerous other associates and alleged co-conspirators.
While it is difficult to predict exactly who will be named, some individuals who have been mentioned in connection to Epstein in the past include politicians, business leaders, and celebrities, and not all of those named are pedophiles or guilty of any crime.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates was confronted about his relationship with Epstein during a PBS interview in 2021. Gates replied that he “had dinners with him” and that “those meetings were a mistake.”
Prince Andrew has also been the subject of allegations, forcing him to settle with one of the alleged sexual abuse victims.
