The bid to whitewash Bill Clinton’s cosy links to Jeffrey Epstein when Hillary ran for President 

The e-mail got here out of the blue someday in 2016. Nearly a decade had handed since Miles and Cathy Alexander had left their jobs as residential managers of Little St James, Jeffrey Epstein‘s personal island within the Caribbean.

Since then, Epstein had been jailed — briefly — for paedophile offences and the couple had retired to their native South Africa.

However now Darren Indyke, the disgraced tycoon’s legal professional, was again in contact. The lawyer wished the Alexanders to do one thing that might be of specific profit to Hillary Clinton and her marketing campaign to turn into the primary feminine President of the USA, later that 12 months.

It entailed them signing a sworn affidavit — which Indyke had already drafted for them — declaring that they had by no means seen Senator Clinton’s husband, President Invoice Clinton, at their former house: ‘Paedo Island’, because it had come to be recognized. Whether or not or not the once-most highly effective man on the earth had set foot on a 78-acre speck within the U.S. Virgin Islands virtually twenty years in the past says a lot in regards to the toxicity of what’s alleged to have occurred there.

And that wicked hedonism is ready to be examined intimately in court docket later this 12 months after Prince Andrew failed final week in his try and have a civil intercourse assault motion introduced in opposition to him by Epstein’s former underage ‘slave’, Virginia Roberts, thrown out.

Roberts has alleged that the Duke of York ‘sexually abused her [Roberts, now known as Giuffre] on Epstein’s personal island within the U.S. Virgin Islands, Little St James’. (In a landmark investigation into the duke in late 2020, the Mail proved that he had been on the island concurrently Roberts in early 2001.)

She has additionally claimed she met Clinton on the island and noticed him within the firm of two ‘younger women’.

Each males deny Roberts’s allegations. Clinton, whose presidency virtually ended over his affair with White Home intern Monica Lewinsky, denies ever being on Little St James or having data of Epstein’s crimes. The president and the prince’s baleful involvement with Epstein is down to 1 lady — Ghislaine Maxwell. The next injury to their reputations largely rests on the phrase of one other — Roberts. However what’s undisputed is that each males criss-crossed the world on Epstein’s jets, receiving hospitality from the financier’s younger feminine workers.

Whether or not that hospitality strayed into sexual favours continues to be unknown. In Andrew’s case, his relationship with Epstein and Maxwell has now resulted in a dispute that might land, with probably catastrophic penalties for the Royal Household, in a U.S. court docket of regulation.

That chance of authorized fall-out is what Epstein, who died in his jail cell in 2019, had tried to move off. At present, the Mail can reveal how he used his go-to legal professional, Indyke, to guard well-known male associates who will need to have adopted the current trial of Epstein’s ex-lover Maxwell with greater than a passing curiosity.

Arguably the 2 most gilded members of that circle have been Clinton and Andrew. Each relationships with Epstein are stated to have been launched and developed by Ghislaine Maxwell, that supreme networker —now a convicted paedophile pimp and trafficker. At present, the Mail investigates the associations between these three males.

The White Home logs and disputed flights

Official logs of tourists to the White Home throughout Clinton’s first time period as president point out that Democrat donor Epstein was a trusted affiliate. He visited the White Home not less than 17 occasions between 1993 and 1995.

But the tycoon’s entry to the president took different types. Epstein’s ‘little black guide’ of contacts contained a number of e mail addresses and no fewer than 21 phone numbers for Clinton. A weird portrait of the president — sporting a blue cocktail costume and crimson excessive heels — even hung in Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse.

Clinton appeared as a passenger on flight logs for Epstein’s fleet of plane at least 26 occasions between February 2002 and November 2003. One among Epstein’s pilots, David Rodgers, gave a deposition in 2016 as a part of a defamation case that Roberts introduced in opposition to Maxwell. In his testimony he referred to his pilot’s log guide entries. They appeared to point that on not less than two events Rodgers had flown Clinton and the duke in certainly one of Epstein’s plane.

The pilot added that in February 2002, on a flight from Miami to New York on the Boeing generally known as the ‘Lolita Specific’, his passengers had included Clinton, 4 Secret Service brokers, Epstein, Maxwell and ‘Prince Andrew’. Rodgers added: ‘I’ve an image of me and the crew with Invoice Clinton on the airplane . . . To one of the best of my data it was the primary time that we had flown him’.

He stated in July 2002 he had flown from Morocco to New York with Epstein, Maxwell, Prince Andrew, Clinton, Doug Band (Clinton’s right-hand man) and ‘in all probability 9 Secret Service individuals’ aboard.

These two examples of Clinton and Andrew flying collectively needs to be handled with warning. The Mail has checked the court docket circulars and native media stories for each dates and the proof suggests the prince was in all probability not on these Epstein flights.

It’s potential Rodgers misinterpret the initials ‘AP’ on the flight logs as ‘Andrew, Prince’. Epstein’s chef, Adam Perry Lang, had related initials. That stated, the pilot didn’t assume it not possible the president and the prince have been fellow travellers, even when not on these events. Throughout this era Clinton additionally appeared in a Rodgers flight log as a passenger on an Epstein airplane from Europe to North America.

Such journeys introduced extra to fret about than simply a big carbon footprint. When the tycoon was charged with contemporary paedophile offences in 2019, Clinton’s workplace issued this assertion: ‘In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a complete of 4 journeys on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia and two to Africa, which included stops in reference to the work of the Clinton Basis.’

One of many journeys to Africa noticed Epstein — whose Gratitude America charity donated to the Clinton Basis, IRS data present — travelling with Clinton and the disgraced actor Kevin Spacey. The double Oscar-winner subsequently noticed his profession ended over a number of allegations of sexual assault in opposition to boys and younger males.

Additionally current on the journey was Chauntae Davies, who was recruited aged 21 as an Epstein masseuse by Maxwell. She was pictured giving Clinton a neck therapeutic massage throughout the journey and has stated that the previous president behaved appropriately in direction of her.

She just lately instructed the Mail that she had been repeatedly raped by Epstein and he and Maxwell had ‘destroyed’ her life. The primary rape occurred on Little St James, she claimed. After the Africa journey, Clinton’s workplace issued this assertion: ‘Jeffrey is each a extremely profitable financier and a dedicated philanthropist. I particularly appreciated his insights and generosity.’

Chelsea Clinton’s Marriage ceremony Day

Epstein was first investigated for paedophile abuse in 2006 and jailed for 18 months in 2008, as results of a now-infamous plea deal. Authorized paperwork have steered Clinton’s journeys on his plane ‘out of the blue stopped’ earlier than this. However his household’s shut contact with Epstein’s circle didn’t.

In 2010 Maxwell was even invited to the marriage of Chelsea Clinton. In Vainness Truthful in 2020, Clinton’s former aide Doug Band stated he had ‘instructed Clinton’s workers in 2011 to bar Ms Maxwell from occasions’. However ‘Ghislaine had entry to yachts and good houses. Chelsea wanted that,’ Band added.

Epstein’s community of affect was on public show as soon as once more in October 2013 when Hillary Clinton was given the Chatham Home Award for companies to diplomacy. It was offered to her at a lavish occasion at Banqueting Home by her husband’s fellow Lolita Specific passenger, the Duke of York. Small world.

The Billionaire Boys’ Membership 

Which brings us again to Little St James (LSJ). In April 2011 Roberts had a phone dialog with certainly one of her attorneys, Jack Scarola. The recorded transcript later grew to become authorized proof. The related passage is price reproducing in full.

Virginia Roberts: [Epstein] instructed me a very long time in the past that everybody owes him favours. They’re all in one another’s pockets.

JS: Whenever you say you requested him why is Invoice Clinton right here, the place was ‘right here’?

VR: On the island.

JS: Whenever you have been current with Epstein and Invoice Clinton on the island, who else was there?

VR: Ghislaine . . . and there have been two younger women that I may determine. I by no means actually knew them properly, anyhow. It was simply two women from New York.

JS: They usually have been all staying at Jeffrey’s home on the island, together with Invoice Clinton?

VR: That’s appropriate.

Later that 12 months, after giving her first media interview, Roberts started writing a memoir. The working title for the manuscript was The Billionaire Boys’ Membership. It has additionally since turn into authorized proof.

Within the memoir Roberts made a lot of severe allegations. Probably the most sensational have been that she had been pressured to have intercourse with Andrew on three events, twice when she was beneath the age of consent. She wrote: ‘The following large feast on the island had one other vital visitor . . . Sitting throughout the desk from us was Invoice [Clinton] with two beautiful women who have been visiting from New York. Invoice’s spouse Hillary’s absence from the night time made it straightforward for his obvious provocative cheeky facet to come back out.

‘Teasing the ladies on both facet of him with playful pokes and brassy feedback, there was no modesty between any of them.’

Roberts continued: ‘[After dinner,] Jeffrey wished his night therapeutic massage earlier than mattress . . . leaving our visitor of honour to seek out firm elsewhere. Strolling into the darkness with two stunning women round both arm, Invoice appeared content material to retire for the night.’

The insinuation is evident. And Doug Band instructed Vainness Truthful that Clinton had gone to Epstein’s island in 2003. Steve Scully, an IT engineer, additionally instructed a Netflix documentary that he had seen Clinton with Epstein on the island.

However Clinton denies ever having been there. In authorized papers Maxwell additionally known as Roberts’s claims of Clinton on LSJ a ‘fabrication’.

Roberts’s account of what occurred on LSJ is marred by inconsistencies. Whereas her authorized depositions allege sexual assault by Andrew throughout an orgy on the island, there is no such thing as a point out of such a sensational incident within the manuscript of her memoir. Why?

Andrew and the island property managers

The Mail has spoken to a lot of former Epstein workers on LSJ. Miles and Cathy Alexander managed the island from 1999 to 2007. They declined to talk to us, however former colleagues and sources near them did.

The Alexanders recall witnessing two of the duke’s visits to the island, throughout certainly one of which he was within the firm of a ‘busty blonde’. He had additionally visited simply earlier than they have been appointed.

They instructed associates that they had by no means seen orgies or the rest untoward on the island, however they have been instructed by no means to disturb Epstein in his bed room and so they took their holidays away from LSJ. A kind of absences was in April 2001, when Andrew was current as the identical time as Roberts.

The Alexanders stated a number of the feminine guests seemed ‘younger’. However just one was ever recognized by them to be legally underage. She was a French mannequin accompanied by a chaperone and had a letter of authority from her mother and father permitting her to journey.

In 2006 when the primary FBI investigation into him started, Epstein instructed the Alexanders that he was a sufferer of ‘entrapment’. They resigned from working for him the next 12 months. However not earlier than an incident that with hindsight has grown in significance. The Mail can reveal it right here.

The Lawyer Darren Indyke

Indyke labored for Epstein for twenty years and oversaw his companies and charitable foundations. He has additionally acted as executor of his property. The Mail was instructed that within the ultimate months of Epstein’s employment — and throughout the first prison investigation — Mr Alexander was summoned by Indyke to fulfill him on St Thomas, the closest massive island to LSJ.

The property supervisor was requested to carry with him all of the arrival and departure data for LSJ, which have been stored in official log books. These ledgers have been handed to Indyke by Mr Alexander, who by no means noticed them once more. Why did this occur? Presumably the data would have contained names of Epstein’s VIP associates and women by whom the tycoon preferred to be surrounded. Wasn’t that proof? The place are the data now?

When Indyke contacted the Alexanders once more in 2016, the motives have been extra clear. ‘Each have been requested to verify that to one of the best of their data Clinton had by no means visited throughout their tenure and so they weren’t conscious of him having been a visitor throughout any absences from the island, for instance for holidays,’ stated a supply.

Indyke set out the phrases which he wished to be sworn beneath oath by the Alexanders. ‘It was throughout the 2016 presidential marketing campaign which was received by Trump,’ the supply defined. ‘There was a fear that the hyperlink between Epstein and Clinton and specifically the island could possibly be used in opposition to Hillary.’

The Mail understands that the Alexanders instructed associates that they had not in truth seen the previous president or his household on the island — contradicting Roberts’s claims.

Mr Alexander barely reworded the affidavit earlier than he and his spouse signed it within the presence of a notary in South Africa.

Final night time a spokesman for Epstein’s legal professional instructed the Mail: ‘Mr Indyke was certainly one of many attorneys at a number of regulation companies that carried out authorized companies for Mr Epstein. Guidelines {of professional} conduct stop him from commenting on personal authorized issues.’

Indyke has his personal hassle. The U.S. Virgin Islands Lawyer Basic has lodged a civil criticism in opposition to him and co-executor Richard Kahn that alleges the 2 have been ‘indispensable captains’ of Epstein’s sex-trafficking operations. It additionally accuses them of serving to the financier in three sham marriages and flying a string of victims to LSJ earlier than 2017.

Legal professionals for one more of Epstein’s alleged victims have twice tried unsuccessfully to depose Indyke. The civil case was placed on maintain pending the end result of Maxwell’s prison trial.

In his capability as an administrator, Indyke has additionally been named as a defendant in 30 lawsuits filed by girls in opposition to Epstein’s property.
