The Clinton-Epstein Files: What Bill and Hillary Don't Want You to Know Before Their December 17th Depositions

A comprehensive analysis of the documented connections between America's most powerful political couple and history's most notorious sex trafficker

In exactly 13 days, Bill Clinton is scheduled to walk into a congressional hearing room and testify under oath about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The next day, Hillary Clinton is supposed to do the same. Their lawyer has tried everything—offering written statements, claiming they have "little to contribute," requesting delays. House Oversight Chairman James Comer has made it crystal clear: appear for your depositions on December 17th and 18th, or face contempt of Congress charges.

The same charges that sent Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to federal prison.

For years, the Clintons have downplayed their connections to Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. They've minimized the flight logs, dismissed the photographs, and avoided questions about why a former president spent so much time with a convicted pedophile. Now, Congress is demanding answers that victims of Epstein's sex trafficking ring have been seeking for decades.

This isn't speculation or conspiracy theory. Everything documented here comes from flight logs filed with the Federal Aviation Administration, White House visitor records, sworn depositions, published photographs, and official documents. The Clintons' own words—and their refusal to answer basic questions—tell a story they desperately want buried.

The Flight Logs: From Four Trips to Twenty-Six

When news of Clinton's association with Epstein first emerged, his spokesperson issued a carefully worded statement: President Clinton took four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's plane between 2002 and 2003 for Clinton Foundation humanitarian work. The implication was clear—minimal contact, strictly professional, nothing to see here.

The actual number revealed by FAA flight manifests? Twenty-six flights.

Not four trips totaling maybe a dozen flights. Twenty-six separate documented flights aboard what victims called the "Lolita Express"—a Boeing 727 that court testimony describes as outfitted with a bed where Epstein and his associates engaged in group sex with underage girls. This wasn't a corporate jet offering convenient transportation. According to multiple victims' sworn statements, this was a flying crime scene.

These weren't short domestic hops either. Clinton's documented travels with Epstein spanned multiple continents: Singapore, Norway, Russia, throughout Africa. Multi-day international excursions where the former President spent extended periods with Epstein, Maxwell, and others in Epstein's inner circle. The manifests show Clinton traveling repeatedly with Maxwell—now serving 20 years in federal prison for sex trafficking—as well as Sarah Kellen, whom multiple victims have identified as helping recruit girls for abuse.

The Secret Service Mystery

Perhaps most disturbing: on at least five of those flights, Clinton traveled without his Secret Service detail.

Let's be clear about what that means. Secret Service protection for a former president doesn't just disappear. Dismissing your protective detail requires filing official paperwork. It's not automatic. It's not casual. A former president must formally request to dismiss agents assigned to his security.

The Secret Service has stonewalled every attempt to get answers. Multiple Freedom of Information Act requests asking whether Clinton filed the proper forms have been met with silence. They won't confirm, they won't deny, they just refuse to respond. When pressed by the Washington Examiner about specific 2002 trips to Asia and Africa where no agents appear on manifests, a Secret Service spokesperson would only say, "Former President Clinton has never declined Secret Service protection"—but they refused to answer whether agents were actually present on those flights.

So we're left with two possibilities, neither good: Either Clinton filed paperwork to ditch his security detail for international trips with a known sex offender, and the Secret Service is hiding those records. Or Clinton violated federal protocol by traveling without filing the proper forms. Either scenario raises the same question: Why would a former president go to such lengths to fly internationally with Jeffrey Epstein without his security detail?

The passenger manifests offer disturbing clues. Beyond Maxwell and Kellen, the logs list passengers by first names only—including someone identified simply as "Tatiana." We don't know who Tatiana was. We don't know how old she was. But she was on these flights with Clinton, Epstein, and Maxwell.

The Island Visit: "He Owes Me a Favor"

Bill Clinton has been adamant on one point: he never visited Epstein's private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. His spokespeople have repeated this denial multiple times with very specific language: "President Clinton has never been to Little St. James Island."

Multiple witnesses say otherwise.

Virginia Giuffre—one of Epstein's most prominent accusers who tragically died this past April—gave sworn deposition testimony explicitly stating she saw Clinton on the island. She wasn't vague. She wasn't speculating. She said she was there at the same time as the former Commander in Chief, and according to her testimony, she asked Epstein directly: "What's Bill Clinton doing here?"

Epstein's response, as Giuffre recalled it: "He owes me a favor."

Stop and think about that statement. The former President of the United States owed Jeffrey Epstein—a man who would later be convicted of procuring underage girls for prostitution—a favor. What kind of favor? For what service?

Giuffre's account includes specific details: she, Maxwell, and Maxwell's assistant Emmy Taylor were present during Clinton's alleged visit, along with "two young girls from New York" who stayed in villas outside the main residence. These aren't the vague allegations of someone seeking attention. These are specific, detailed recollections under oath, made years before Epstein's arrest brought renewed attention to his crimes.

Then there's Doug Band's account. Band served as Clinton's top aide and gatekeeper for years—someone with intimate knowledge of the former president's schedule and activities. In a 2020 Vanity Fair interview, Band made shocking allegations contradicting the official denial, claiming Clinton took a trip to Epstein's island in 2003. This is someone from Clinton's own inner circle directly contradicting the carefully crafted public narrative.

The Photographs: A Massage on the Lolita Express

In 2020, the Daily Mail published photographs that had been sitting in evidence files for years. The images show Bill Clinton receiving a neck massage from Chantay Davies—one of Epstein's trafficking victims—aboard the Lolita Express during a 2002 stopover on Clinton's Africa trip.

Davies was 22 at the time, and according to her account, there was no allegation of illegal activity in that specific instance. She described Clinton as "a complete gentleman." But consider what these photographs actually document: a former President of the United States receiving a massage from a sex trafficking victim, on a plane owned by a pedophile, with Ghislaine Maxwell—now in federal prison for sex trafficking—present and allegedly encouraging Davies to give Clinton the massage.

Does that sound like someone who had no idea what was happening around him? Does that look like an innocent humanitarian who just needed convenient transportation?

The photographs aren't ambiguous. They're not grainy surveillance footage subject to interpretation. They're clear images documenting Clinton's comfort level in an environment that any reasonable person would recognize as deeply inappropriate, if not outright criminal.

White House Access: Seventeen Visits in Three Years

The relationship between Clinton and Epstein didn't begin after Clinton left office. White House visitor logs obtained by the Daily Mail reveal that Epstein visited the Clinton White House at least 17 times during Clinton's presidency, starting just one month after his inauguration in January 1993.

Seventeen visits over three years isn't occasional contact. That's regular access to the most powerful office in the world. On three separate occasions, Epstein made two visits in a single day. The logs indicate most visits were to the West Wing, suggesting meetings with Clinton himself rather than lower-level staff.

Epstein was invited by some of Clinton's most senior advisors and aides, including individuals who later served in Treasury Department positions. In April 2012, The Sun published a photograph of Clinton personally welcoming Epstein and Maxwell to the White House in 1993, reportedly after Epstein donated funds for Oval Office refurbishment.

So we have photographic evidence of their relationship dating back to the very beginning of Clinton's presidency—years before the flights, years before the island visits, years before law enforcement began investigating Epstein's crimes against children.

Epstein's infamous "little black book"—the phone directory seized by investigators—contained 21 phone numbers for Bill Clinton. Not one number. Not a couple of numbers. Twenty-one different contact points for reaching the former president. That's more numbers than most people have for their own immediate family members.

Hillary Clinton's Hidden Connection: The Nephew She Hired

While Bill Clinton's flights and island visits have received significant media attention, Hillary Clinton's connection to the Epstein-Maxwell network remains largely unknown. Yet it may be even more damaging: Hillary Clinton hired Ghislaine Maxwell's nephew multiple times, placing him in high-level government positions dealing with some of America's most sensitive foreign policy.

His name is Alexander Djerassi, son of Maxwell's sister Isabel Maxwell. And Hillary Clinton gave him a career path from her presidential campaign straight into the upper echelons of the State Department.

The Timeline That Raises Questions

The timing of Djerassi's government career is important:

September 2007 - June 2008: Djerassi worked as a policy associate for Hillary's 2008 presidential campaign. According to his LinkedIn profile, his responsibilities included researching and drafting memos, briefings, and policy papers on domestic and foreign policy issues. He also prepared Hillary for more than 20 debates during the primary season.

This was happening in late 2007 and early 2008—the exact period when Jeffrey Epstein was actively under investigation for sex trafficking girls in Palm Beach, Florida. Epstein was negotiating the controversial plea deal that would allow him to plead guilty to just two state charges while protecting potential co-conspirators. Ghislaine Maxwell was widely believed to be one of the accomplices who would be shielded under the sweetheart agreement Alexander Acosta's office was hammering out.

May 2009: After Hillary became Secretary of State in January 2009, Djerassi was hired at the State Department as a staff assistant. While this might sound like an entry-level position, at the State Department these roles often serve as launching pads for rapid advancement—if you have the right connections.

Djerassi had those connections. And he advanced rapidly.

May 2009 - May 2011: Djerassi served as Special Assistant to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs.

May 2011 - May 2012: Just two years after joining the State Department, Djerassi was promoted to Chief of Staff for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of State in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs.

What the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs Actually Does

For those unfamiliar with State Department structure, the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs is responsible for U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and North Africa. During Djerassi's tenure from 2009 to 2012, this region was experiencing unprecedented upheaval:

• The Arab Spring uprisings that toppled governments across the region
• The Benghazi attacks that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens
• The rise of ISIS
• The Syrian Civil War
• Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts
• The collapse of governments in Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia

This was one of the most sensitive and high-pressure positions in the entire State Department. And according to sources who spoke to OK Magazine, Djerassi was "fresh out of college" when Hillary gave him this massive responsibility.

As the sources put it: "Secretary Clinton gave Alex a job in one of the most sensitive areas of Obama's executive apparatus. The fact Alex Djerassi, fresh out of college, was put in charge of the State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs covering the Middle East was an interesting move."

These weren't ceremonial positions. Djerassi worked directly on the Arab Spring and, according to reports, Hillary sent him as the U.S. representative to expatriate rebel groups "Friends of Libya" and "Friends of the Syrian People." These were operational roles dealing with armed rebel groups trying to overthrow governments.

WikiLeaks published emails where Assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman referred to "his special assistant Alex Djerassi" in November 2011 and January 2012, providing documentary evidence of Djerassi working in these high-level positions.

The Wedding Guest Who Shouldn't Have Been There

Now consider this timeline detail: In July 2010, right in the middle of Djerassi's State Department tenure, Ghislaine Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton's wedding.

Let that sink in. Maxwell—Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice in sex trafficking, who is now serving 20 years in federal prison for her crimes—attended the Clinton family's most intimate family celebration. And at that exact moment, her nephew was working at Hillary's State Department in a position overseeing Middle East policy.

Does any of this look like coincidence?

The relationship didn't end there. In 2016, after Hillary lost the presidential election, Djerassi's LinkedIn shows he worked as a "National Security Policy Planner" for the Clinton-Kaine presidential transition team—preparing for what they assumed would be a presidential administration.

From 2007 to 2016, Alexander Djerassi moved seamlessly between Hillary Clinton's orbit and high-level government positions: Campaign staff. State Department Special Assistant. State Department Chief of Staff. Back to the campaign transition team.

The Subpoenas: Will the Clintons Finally Answer?

House Oversight Chairman James Comer issued subpoenas for both Clintons in August 2025. They were supposed to appear in October. They didn't show. Their attorney, David Kendall, said they have "little to contribute" and offered written statements instead.

On November 21st, Comer sent a letter making the stakes crystal clear:

"It is precisely the fact President Clinton and Secretary Clinton each maintained relationships with Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell in their personal capacities as private citizens that is of interest to this committee. Given their history with Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell, any attempt by the Clintons to avoid sitting for a deposition would be in defiance of lawful subpoenas and grounds to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings."

The dates are set:

• Bill Clinton: December 17th
• Hillary Clinton: December 18th

Comer has made his position clear: "We expect the Clintons to come in, or I expect the Clintons to be met with the same fate that Bannon and Navarro were met with."

When Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro defied Democratic congressional subpoenas, they were prosecuted. Both received four-month federal prison sentences. The Democrats used the full weight of the Justice Department to enforce congressional authority.

Now it's the Clintons' turn. If there's any justice left in this country, the same rules apply. No special treatment. No written statements that let them dodge hard questions. No allowing the powerful to play by different rules while everyone else faces consequences.

What the Victims Deserve

This investigation isn't ultimately about the Clintons' political future or legal jeopardy. It's about Jeffrey Epstein's victims—dozens of women who were sexually abused when they were children. Girls as young as 14, 15, and 16 years old who were recruited, groomed, and trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell.

These women have spent years trying to get justice. They've testified in court. They've relived their trauma in pursuit of accountability. They've watched as powerful people who enabled Epstein's abuse escaped consequences.

What did they get? Epstein died in a Manhattan jail cell under circumstances that remain unexplained. Maxwell is serving 20 years but refused to name any other perpetrators or enablers. The Department of Justice announced last year that no other people would be charged in connection with Epstein's sex trafficking operation.

Case closed. Move along.

That's precisely why Congress got involved. Because the victims deserve answers. They deserve to know who enabled Epstein's abuse, who helped protect him, who benefited from their association with him, and who looked the other way while he preyed on children.

If Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's plane 26 times, ditched his Secret Service protection on five international trips, and maintained close relationships with both Epstein and Maxwell for years, then victims deserve to hear him explain that under oath.

If Hillary Clinton hired the nephew of a convicted sex trafficker for sensitive government positions, and that trafficker attended her daughter's wedding while working in those positions, then victims deserve to hear her explain that relationship under oath.

The Questions That Need Answers

When Bill and Hillary Clinton sit for their depositions—if they actually show up—here are some of the questions they need to answer:

For Bill Clinton:

1. Why did you take 26 flights on Jeffrey Epstein's plane when your spokesperson initially claimed only four trips?
2. Why did you dismiss your Secret Service detail on five international flights with Epstein?
3. Did you visit Little St. James Island? If not, how do you explain Virginia Giuffre's sworn testimony that she saw you there?
4. What did Jeffrey Epstein mean when he allegedly told Virginia Giuffre that you "owed him a favor"?
5. What was the nature of your relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is now in federal prison for sex trafficking?
6. Did you witness any inappropriate behavior with underage girls during your time with Epstein?
7. Why did Epstein have 21 phone numbers for you in his contact book?

For Hillary Clinton:

1. Why did you hire Alexander Djerassi for your 2008 presidential campaign when his aunt, Ghislaine Maxwell, was publicly associated with Jeffrey Epstein?
2. Why did you bring Djerassi into the State Department and promote him to Chief of Staff for Near Eastern Affairs within two years?
3. What was your relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, and why was she invited to your daughter's wedding?
4. What did you know about Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities when you were maintaining social connections with him and Maxwell?
5. Did your husband discuss his relationship with Epstein with you? If so, what did he tell you?

Equal Justice Under Law

On December 17th and 18th, we'll discover whether we still have equal justice in this country. Whether the Clintons play by the same rules as everyone else. Whether wealth, power, and political connections shield people from having to answer basic questions about their associations with a convicted pedophile and sex trafficking operation.

Steve Bannon went to prison for defying a congressional subpoena. Peter Navarro went to prison for defying a congressional subpoena. If the Clintons refuse to appear, they should face the exact same consequences.

The House Oversight Committee has released over 65,000 pages of Epstein-related documents. Attorney General Pam Bondi is reviewing the files. President Trump signed legislation requiring the DOJ to release the full, unredacted Epstein files.

The truth is coming out. The victims deserve it. Justice demands it. And no amount of political power should be enough to avoid answering for documented associations with one of the most prolific sex traffickers in American history.

The depositions are scheduled. The subpoenas have been issued. The questions are ready.

Now we wait to see if the Clintons will finally show up and answer them.
