Former president Bill Clinton on Monday issued a statement on new sex trafficking charges against financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, saying he knew nothing about the “terrible crimes†Epstein is accused of.
“President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,†the statement from a Clinton spokesperson reads.
“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 adds.
Flight logs from Epstein’s private jet published by Gawker in 2015 put Clinton on the plane more than a dozen times.
