‘Bill Clinton told Jeffrey Epstein he slept with Monica Lewinsky as she was only girl in White House for gov shutdown’
BILL Clinton told Jeffrey Epstein he slept with Monica Lewinsky because she was the "only girl in the White House" during the 1995 government shutdown, a new book claims. Late pedophile Epstein reportedly claimed the former president made the remark during a flight to Africa on Epstein's private plane in 2002.
Clinton is known to have accompanied Epstein on his private jet for four trips related to his work with the Clinton Foundation in 2002 and 2003. Epstein, who killed himself in August while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking minors, was not investigated by police until 2005, and a spokesperson for Clinton has said he knew "nothing about [Epstein's] terrible crimes". An upcoming book, A Convenient Death: The Mysterious Demise of Jeffrey Epstein, by journalists Alana Goodman and Daniel Halper, claims Epstein had been puzzled by Clinton's willingness to risk his reputation to have an affair with a woman he thought was "too unattractive to sleep with". Lewinsky became the focus of a political scandal in 1998 after claims emerged that she and Clinton had had a sexual relationship beginning in 1995, when she was a 22-year-old intern at the White House. Clinton denied the claims and subsequently faced impeachment on charges of lying under oath and obstruction of justice. During the 2002 trip, on which the pair were reportedly joined by actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker, Epstein reportedly called a friend and said: "Guess what I learned." He then claimed Clinton had told him he only began the relationship with Lewinsky because she was the "only girl in the White House" during a 1995 government shutdown amid a congressional stalemate over the 1996 federal budget.
CLINTON SIGHTINGS 'ON EPSTEIN PRIVATE ISLAND'
The book is due to be released on Tuesday, and will follow the premiere of a new Netflix series on Epstein's crimes entitled Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich. The documentary includes interviews with a number of Epstein victims as well as a former IT contractor, Steve Scully, who claims on Epstein's private Caribbean island, Little St James. Clinton has again denied the claims. Speaking during an interview for the documentary, Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts also says she saw Clinton on the island. "He was there. I never saw him doing anything improper," she said.
