For years, Democrat leaders have argued that Donald Trump’s limited overlap with Jeffrey Epstein reflects a unique political vulnerability for Republicans. Newly released testimony and long-overlooked deposition records show a different reality.

The most credible accounts come from individuals who interacted with Epstein directly and had no incentive to fabricate details. Their testimony places Bill Clinton inside Epstein’s world, in settings where young girls were present, both on Epstein’s aircraft and on his private island.

The clearest foundation comes from Epstein’s longtime pilot, Larry Visoski, who flew Epstein’s planes for decades and knew exactly who boarded each flight. In his sworn deposition with attorney Bradley Edwards, Visoski was asked about passengers who had been on the aircraft “while young girls were present.” Visoski confirmed a list of high-profile names, and Bill Clinton was among them.

According to the deposition summary, Visoski admitted that Clinton, Prince Andrew, Andrés Pastrana, Lawrence Summers, Ron Burkle, Kevin Spacey, and Chris Tucker had all been on board at times when young girls were also present.

Visoski offered the claim that he never “suspected” Epstein of wrongdoing, but his personal interpretation does not change the factual content of what he admitted. His statement placed Clinton in Epstein’s environment during flights that included minors whom investigators later identified as part of Epstein’s trafficking network.

The testimony becomes even more significant when paired with the sworn statements of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who repeatedly told investigators that she personally saw Bill Clinton on Epstein’s private island.

When asked if she remembered Clinton being there, Giuffre responded, “Yes, I do. It was a laugh, though. I remember asking Jeffrey, ‘What’s Bill Clinton doing here?’ and he laughed it off and said, ‘Well, he owes me a favor.’”

She added that Epstein often told her “everyone owes him favors” and that powerful people stayed close to him because “they’re all in each other’s pockets.”

Giuffre also identified who was present with Clinton during that visit. She stated, “Ghislaine, Emmy, and there were two young girls … just two girls from New York.”

She confirmed that all of them were staying in Epstein’s villas on the island.

Giuffre never accused Clinton of sexual contact, but her testimony placed him on the island with Maxwell and young girls during the period when Epstein’s criminal activity was ongoing. No official explanation has addressed why a former U.S. president, accompanied by security and tracked in every setting, would be present in that environment.

Additional records reinforce this connection. Litigation filings show that Clinton traveled repeatedly on Epstein’s aircraft between 2002 and 2005.

One filing noted that “Clinton traveled on many of those flights with Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, and Adriana Mucinska,” all of whom have been linked to Epstein’s abuse network.

Phone records strengthen the pattern. Epstein’s personal directory listed 21 separate phone numbers for Bill Clinton, including direct lines for Clinton, his aides, his scheduler, and multiple private channels.

No other former president appears in Epstein’s files with comparable accessibility. These details formed the basis of Edwards’s plan to depose Clinton.

Edwards wrote that Clinton “might well be a source of relevant information” because of his repeated flights with Epstein, his relationship with Maxwell, and Maxwell’s documented role in recruiting minors for Epstein. The justification relied on testimony, logs, and internal records — not speculation.

Taken together, the accounts of Visoski and Giuffre describe two separate environments — Epstein’s aircraft and the island — that align with each other.

In both settings, Clinton was placed in close proximity to young girls who were part of Epstein’s network. When combined with the travel logs and extensive contact records, the picture is consistent and well-documented.

Bill Clinton was not a peripheral figure in Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit. He appeared at central locations alongside individuals later revealed to be key participants in Epstein’s criminal enterprise.

Democrats built an entire political narrative around a single Trump remark about knowing Epstein. The evidence surrounding Clinton is far more detailed, more direct, and supported by sworn testimony. That is the part of the record they continue to avoid.
