Topline
The latest tranche of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents released by the Republicans on the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday included emails in which the convicted sex offender said former President Bill Clinton never visited his infamous private island, the site where many of Epstein’s underage victims were sexually abused.

Key Facts
In a 2011 email addressed to “The Duke”—whose email address has been redacted—Esptein first asks if the recipient is okay and adds: “these stories are complete and utter fantasy, I don’t know and have never met Al Gore, Clinton was never on the island,” (sic).
In a 2015 email sent to former New York Times reporter Landon Thomas Jr., Epstein dismissed claims made by a victim (whose name has been redacted) about Clinton’s presence on the island.
Epstein wrote: “clinton was NEVER EVER there, never,” before claiming that this “punches a hole” in the victim’s allegations against “dershowitz” and “Andrew” —a likely reference to criminal defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz and the former Duke of York Andrew.
In another email sent in 2015 to someone whose name has been redacted, Epstein appears to accuse a victim of making up “salacious fiction.”
“Presidents at dinner on Caribbean islands. (Clinton was never ever there, easy to confirm)” (sic) the email said while mocking several other allegations as “fabrications.”
Epstein mentions the former president again in a 2016 email to journalist Michael Wolff, who interviewed the disgraced financier multiple times, reiterating that: “Clinton was never on the island” and he “never met” former Vice President Al Gore.
Tangent
The former president is also mentioned in an April 5, 2018, email to Epstein sent by the physicist Lawrence Krauss. Krauss’s email lists the speakers at the 2018 Women in the World Summit, which includes Hillary Clinton, along with several others like Viola Davis and Maye Musk, and adds: “Let’s do a men of the world conference.” Krauss, who retired from his academic job later that year following allegations of sexual misconduct, proposed a list of speakers including Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Woody Allen and former Sen. Al Franken, all who faced allegations of sexual misconduct.
