The documented relationship: a $1,000 donation to Clinton’s 1992 campaign, 17 White House sign-ins in 1993–95, $20,000 to a 1999 fundraising committee for Hillary Clinton’s Senate race and the Democratic Party, four trips on Epstein’s jet in 2002–03 for Clinton Foundation work, a $25,000 gift to the foundation from an Epstein-related foundation in 2006, and a warm note in the 2003 birthday album. Maxwell, who said she was the Clintons’ friend, said Epstein “may have helped me help them” with the Clinton Global Initiative. [1][2][3]
Read plainly, that is an exchange of access: Clinton’s causes got money and free transport, and Epstein got a former president on his plane, which he used to build his reputation. That is documented, and it reflects badly on the judgment of everyone involved. It is not evidence that Clinton knew of the abuse, which became public in 2005–06, after his last logged flight. [1]
