Bill Clinton had an affair with Ghislaine Maxwell
Bill Clinton had an affair with British-born socialite
Ghislaine Maxwell, who is accused of helping recruit underage victims for
notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to a blockbuster new book.
The ex-president — who denies cheating on wife Hillary
Clinton with Maxwell — reportedly engaged in the romps during overseas trips on
Epstein’s private plane, a customized Boeing 727 that’s since become known as
the “Lolita Express.”
The nation’s 42nd head of state also repeatedly sneaked out
to visit Maxwell at her Upper East Side townhouse, as detailed in this
exclusive excerpt.
Excerpt from “A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of
Jeffrey Epstein,” by Alana Goodman and Daniel Halper, out June 2
Clinton was allegedly carrying on an affair with at least
one woman in Epstein’s orbit, but she was well over the age of consent.
Ghislaine Maxwell, a constant presence at the ex-
president’s side during these trips, was the primary reason Clinton let Epstein
ferry him around the world.
“[Bill] and Ghislaine were getting it on,” a source who
witnessed the relationship said in an interview. “That’s why he was around
Epstein—to be with her.”
The source explained that reporters have been missing the
point about the Clinton- Epstein relationship by focusing on Epstein’s sex
crimes. “[Clinton’s] stupid but not an idiot,” the source says, dismissing the
idea that the ex- president was sexually involved with children.
Clinton’s primary interest in Epstein was the woman he once
dated and who allegedly helped procure her ex-boyfriend’s future victims.

“You couldn’t hang
out with her without being with him,” the source said of the Epstein-Clinton
relationship.
“Clinton just used him like everything else,” the source
explains.
In this case, Epstein was being used as an alibi while he
hooked up with Maxwell.
The relationship between Clinton and Maxwell was not
confined to these overseas junkets. It continued in New York City, where
Clinton on multiple occasions visited Maxwell’s own private townhome at 116
East Sixty-fifth Street, an $11 million pad that runs a touch below seven
thousand square feet, much more modest than Epstein’s palatial townhome a few
blocks north. (Maxwell purchased it in 2000 for a mere $4.95 million.)
The coziness between the former president and the charming
British socialite drew notice in New York social circles. Clinton and Maxwell
were spotted dining together at the Madison Avenue Italian mainstay Nello,
according to a 2002 New York magazine article, which described Maxwell as a
“man-eater” in the same paragraph. When Clinton went stag to a New York
education charity gala in late 2001 — Hillary declined to attend — Maxwell was
reportedly at his side.
The relationship also carried over to the Clinton Global
Initiative and Clinton Foundation. Maxwell became somewhat of a fixture at
these events. It was there where she was even served court papers about her
participation in Epstein’s abuse.
On July 31, 2010 Maxwell was among the few guests to attend
Chelsea Clinton’s wedding at the former Astor estate in Rhinebeck, New York.
This auspicious event followed an embarrassing incident for Maxwell.
“Only a few months earlier, while attending the Clinton
Global Initiative in New York City, at the end of an Indian summer, in
September 2009, a process server walked through the packed lobby of the
Sheraton Hotel…and served Ghislaine Maxwell papers for a deposition,” the
journalist Conchita Sarnoff recalls.
“Maxwell…was huddled in a small group talking to other
guests” as the server approached her. He “called out her name and…with so many
people surrounding her, Maxwell was unsuspecting. She confirmed her identity
and he served her notice. The deposition was in relation to Epstein’s sexual
abuse case. The server left at once,” Sarnoff writes in her book, TrafficKing.
“Ironically,
photographs of Maxwell taken by a private investigator who accompanied the
process server showed Maxwell receiving notice while standing beneath a human
trafficking banner. Human trafficking was the Conference’s theme at the 2009
Clinton Global Initiative,” she writes.
“Maxwell never appeared at the deposition claiming, the day
prior to her testimony she had to immediately return to England to care for her
dying mother. At the time of that trip,…the elder Mrs. Maxwell was not gravely
ill. Not long after the deposition was scheduled, Maxwell was spotted again in
New York. As a British subject there was nothing the attorneys could do to
force her to take the deposition.”
Clinton, though he has a long history of being accused of
sexual misconduct, has never been accused of engaging with an underage female
with Epstein. Despite rampant speculation, in fact Clinton’s appetite was being
fed by someone else entirely.
“I have seen reports saying or implying that I had sex with
former president Bill Clinton on Little Saint James Island,” [Epstein accuser
Virginia] Giuffre has said in court documents. “Former president Bill Clinton
was present on the island at a time when I was also present on the island, but
I have never had sexual relations with Clinton, nor have I ever claimed to have
such relations. I have never seen him have sexual relations with anyone.”
