In the United States, the affair dominates the headlines to the sex offender Epstein and connections to Trump. However, the US president brings a different name into play.
US President Donald Trump, which is under pressure because of the Epstein affair, tries to draw attention to one of his predecessors. One should talk about Bill Clinton, the Republican told journalists before his departure for a stay in Scotland lasting several days. At the same time, he said to the Epstein-Causa: “I have nothing to do with this man.”
Clinton spokesman in 2019: Clinton knew nothing about crimes
What Trump means remains unclear. A Clinton spokesman announced in 2019 that the Democrat had had nothing to do with Epstein for more than a decade and knew nothing about the crimes.
Financer Epstein, who had systematically abused minors for many years, committed suicide in 2019 at the age of 66 in his prison cell. In parts of the US company, the death of the super rich caused speculation because he had the best contacts in the American high society. Prominent and billionaires went in and out of him-Trump also spent time with Epstein, as several party videos show.
Why doesn’t Trump don’t want to open the files?
For weeks, Trump has even been asked to have all the files opened from the Republicans’ own ranks. That was one of his campaign promises. Many wonder why the US President does not prompt the publication.
At the same time, media report on connections from Trump to Epstein. The “Wall Street Journal” (WSJ) recently reported on a letter of congratulation to Epstein on its 50th birthday from 2003, which is supposed to bear the name Trump. The president denies to be author.
WSJ writes: also congratulations from Clinton
Meanwhile, the same newspaper reported further letters for the alleged birthday album, including one should bear the name Clinton. According to WSJ, a Clinton spokesman rejected a comment – at the same time he referred to his previous statement.
Infamous island in the Caribbean
Epstein had a private island in the Caribbean named Little St. James, which is said to have been a crime scene. Trump now said to journalists before his departure to Scotland: “I’ve never been on the island.” And at the same time claimed: Clinton many times.
In 2019, on the other hand, his spokesman said that Clinton was “never on Little St. James Island, Epstein’s Ranch in New Mexico, or in his residence in Florida”. Clinton made a total of four trips with Epstein’s aircraft in 2002 and 2003 – also in the context of the work of his foundation. In 2002, according to the spokesman, there was a meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office, and at about the same time, Clinton was with an employee and bodyguard during a visit to Epstein’s New York apartment.
