BREAKING, Bill Clinton Breaks Silence, Issues Statement After Epstein Arrest and Indictment

Today, former President Bill Clinton, through a spokesperson broke his silence on the arrest of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein on sex trafficking charges, via Fox News:

Bill Clinton “knows nothing” about the “terrible crimes” linked to Jeffrey Epstein, the former president’s spokesman said Monday, in Clinton’s first statement after new sex-trafficking charges were lobbed against the wealthy financier. …

“In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation,” the statement said. “Staff, supporters of the foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip. He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein’s New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail. He’s not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and he has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida.”

This comes after Christine Pelosi, Daughter of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and a top official with the Democratic National Committee (DNC), sounded the alarm over the weekend arrest of Jeffrey Epstein on sex trafficking charges.

Pelosi speculated that “some of our faves” may be indicted in the wake of Epstein’s arrest, the Daily Mail reports.

On Saturday night she tweeted “This Epstein case is horrific and the young women deserve justice. It is quite likely that some of our faves are implicated but we must follow the facts and let the chips fall where they may – whether on Republicans or Democrats.”

Here’s the latest on the Epstein case via Reuters:

“American financier Jeffrey Epstein was charged with sex trafficking on Monday, as prosecutors accused him of luring dozens of girls as young as 14 to his luxury homes in New York and Florida and paying them for sex acts.

An indictment unsealed in federal court in Manhattan accused Epstein, 66, of arranging for girls to perform nude “massages” and other sex acts, and paying some girls to recruit others.

The former hedge fund manager “intentionally sought out minors and knew that many of his victims were in fact under the age of 18, including because, in some instances, minor victims expressly told him their age,” the indictment said.

Epstein was charged with one count of sex trafficking and one count of sex trafficking conspiracy, for alleged misconduct from at least 2002 to 2005. He faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors will ask a judge that Epstein be detained pending trial because he is a “significant” flight risk, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Geoffrey Berman, said at a press conference.

“The alleged behavior shocks the conscience, and while the charged conduct is from a number of years ago, it is still profoundly important to the many alleged victims, now young women,” Berman said. They deserve their day in court.”

Berman said a search of Epstein’s mansion in Manhattan, conducted under a search warrant, uncovered evidence including “nude photographs of what appeared to be underage girls.”

He encouraged other victims to come forward and contact prosecutors.

Known for socializing with politicians and royalty, Epstein once had friends including U.S. President Donald Trump and former president Bill Clinton, and according to court papers Britain’s Prince Andrew.

None of those people were mentioned in the indictment. The case is being handled by the public corruption unit of Berman’s office. Berman said he would not comment on Epstein’s associates and added “not to read into that one way or another.”

This is vile and despicable and we look forward to discovering who else was involved in Epstein network.
