Former President Bill Clinton celebrated New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day a short flight from Little Saint James island, better known as Epstein Island.
Little Saint James island was where Epstein headquartered his global sex trafficking operation. Clinton was a frequent guest of Epstein, and sometimes flew on Epstein’s private jet to the infamous island compound… sometimes leaving behind his U.S. Secret Service detail.
The Clinton’s rang in the new year in Punta Cana, a short 250-mile plane hop from Little Saint James Island.
The proximity to Epstein’s infamous private island has drawn renewed scrutiny given Clinton’s documented history with Jeffrey Epstein that have been further revealed with the release of the Epstein files.
The DOJ still has not released the full files related to Epstein, including his suspected client list. However, released flight logs show Clinton flew on Epstein’s private plane at least 26 times between 2001 and 2003, with trips to destinations including Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, China, London, Russia and multiple African nations.
Logs did not list his Secret Service detail for at least five flights.
The late Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s victims, claimed in 2011 that she saw Clinton on Epstein’s island. She told The Daily Mail that she dined there with Epstein, Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell, and “two young brunettes.” Giuffre stressed that she was not “lent out” to Clinton and did not witness any inappropriate interaction between Clinton and the other women, however there are pictures of Clinton receiving a back massage from one of Epstein’s documented victims.

Clinton’s office has maintained that he never visited Little Saint James and had not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade before the financier’s 2019 arrest.
However, Doug Band, a former Clinton associate, confirmed to Vanity Fair in 2020 that Clinton visited Epstein Island at least once, in January 2003.
In some of the unsealed court documents from the Epstein case released, Clinton appears prominently in photographs, including an image of the former president in a hot tub with an unidentified sex trafficking victim whose face was redacted. The Justice Department released hundreds of photos featuring Clinton.
“Here is Bill Clinton in a hot tub next to someone whose identity has been redacted,” Trump spokesperson Abigail Jackson said after the documents were released. “Per the Epstein Files Transparency Act, DOJ was specifically instructed only to redact the faces of victims and/or minors. Time for the media to start asking real questions.”

Clinton is mentioned in more than 50 of the redacted documents. In one deposition, Johanna Sjoberg, a sex trafficking victim, said Epstein once told her “Clinton likes them young, referring to girls.”
When they do bring their U.S. Secret Service detail along, taxpayers have been billed hundreds of thousands of dollars by the Clinton’s for their frequent Caribbean trips over the years.
In 2015, The Daily Mail reported that Secret Service hotel bills hit $104,000 during a single stay when Bill and Hillary vacationed at a luxury Dominican resort.
As her own New Year’s message, Hillary posted a throwback photo of her and Bill skiing with the caption, “It’s going to be a great year for defending democracy. Let’s go!”

Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking minors and died under mysterious circumstances inside his jail cell shortly before giving public testimony. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein’s sex trafficking operation.
The Epstein files have still not been fully released by the DOJ as required by law.
