Epstein called Bill Clinton a 'liar' and claimed they were no longer friends, emails show

WASHINGTON, DC: Explosive new emails handed over to Congress have revealed that Jeffrey Epstein abruptly ended his friendship with former President Bill Clinton, claiming the Democrat leader had lied to him.

The messages, obtained by the House Oversight Committee and released on Wednesday, show Epstein telling Kathryn Ruemmler, the former White House counsel to former President Barack Obama, that he stopped speaking to Clinton after a personal betrayal in early 2016.

The shocking revelations come from a trove of more than 20,000 pages of documents released as part of the committee’s ongoing investigation into Epstein’s political ties.

Epstein called Bill Clinton a ‘liar’ in private email exchange

In a January 23, 2016, email, Epstein told Ruemmler that he had broken off all contact with “Slick Willy,” writing, “He swore, with whole-hearted conviction to me that he had done something, he had forgotten that he also swore the exact opposite to me only weeks before.”

A spokesperson for Clinton, when contacted, brushed off the content of the messages, saying, “Who knows what they’re talking about. What we do know and have always said is that President Clinton knew nothing about Epstein’s heinous crimes and hadn’t spoken to him in twenty years. Now here it is in black and white.”

The emails also reveal that Ruemmler and Epstein had an unusually close rapport, frequently exchanging political insights in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.

Kathryn Ruemmler’s unusual ties to Epstein revealed

Ruemmler, who currently serves as Goldman Sachs’ Chief Legal Officer, reportedly met Epstein while working as a partner at Latham & Watkins. A spokesperson for Goldman Sachs clarified that their interactions were “strictly business,” saying the two “shared a common client that originated as an Epstein referral.”

In one message, Ruemmler described another man mentioned in the emails, identified only as “macgiver” as “very close to being a psychopath.” “He has no conscience. It’s scary,” she wrote to Epstein.

She later added, “He obviously said something to you yesterday that was disturbing, and you don’t want to tell me. Just tell me. I can take it.”

While the mysterious exchange did not explicitly involve Clinton, it added to the intrigue surrounding Epstein’s inner circle and his communications with prominent political figures.

Bill Clinton’s long history with Epstein resurfaces amid probe

Despite Clinton’s continued denials of any wrongdoing, the former president’s long association with Epstein has repeatedly drawn scrutiny.

Records show that Epstein visited the White House over a dozen times during Clinton’s presidency and that Clinton flew aboard Epstein’s private jet, the “Lolita Express”, more than two dozen times.

Epstein, known for surrounding himself with young women, was photographed during a 2002 humanitarian trip to Africa alongside Clinton and 22-year-old massage therapist Chauntae Davies, who once described giving Clinton a shoulder rub during the flight.

Epstein’s bizarre art collection also included a notorious painting of Clinton in a blue dress, a satirical nod to the Monica Lewinsky scandal, hanging inside his Upper East Side mansion.

House Oversight Committee widens Epstein inquiry

The House Oversight Committee, which has been probing Epstein’s financial and political connections, subpoenaed the Clintons earlier this year but said the couple have yet to testify.

Committee members say the newly obtained correspondence raises further questions about how deeply Epstein’s influence reached into political power circles.

Epstein was first arrested in 2007 and again in 2019 before dying in jail under suspicious circumstances that continue to fuel conspiracy theories.
