Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote in a 2011 email released by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday that former President Clinton “never” visited his private island.
“[T]hese stories are complete ant utter fantasy,, I don’t know and have never met Al gore, CLinton was never on the island.. the telephone book is not mine, it was stolen by my houseman that is currently in prison for doing so,” Epstein wrote to someone dubbed “The Duke,” whose email address is redacted.
This email is among 20,000 pages of documents released Wednesday from Epstein’s estate. The push for more information about Epstein escalated this week, as House members returned to Washington to end the government shutdown.
For months, Democrats and Republicans in the lower chamber have advocated for the release of information about Epstein. A discharge petition on Wednesday successfully teed up a vote on the House floor on the matter for as soon as next week.
Global figures and top businessmen, including Clinton, President Trump, former Prince Andrew and Elon Musk, among others, have come under scrutiny for reported links to the disgraced financier.
House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) previously said Clinton’s alleged links to Epstein should be unveiled after he subpoenaed the former president for testimony before Congress this summer.
“Everybody in America wants to know what went on in Epstein Island, and we’ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he’s a prime suspect to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee,” Comer said on Newsmax in August.
The Kentucky Republican also subpoenaed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for testimony in House Republicans’ investigation on matters around Epstein.
The Hill reached out to Clinton’s office and a press representative for former Vice President Al Gore.
