Former President Bill Clinton is back in the headlines for all the wrong reasons — and it left critics stunned.
The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) partnered with Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democratic leaders for their 13th annual conference on Friday. The four-day event is being hosted by Harris’ alma mater, Howard University.

As part of the event, Harris will join Clinton for a one-on-one talk on Friday. The subject: How to empower women.
The announcement received immediate blowback.
Clinton has been credibly accused of violent rape by Juanita Broaddrick. He has been accused of sexual assault and harassment of multiple women over decades before being elected president.
While president, Clinton was impeached for lying under oath about an extramarital affair with a young intern while the Whitewater scandal was being investigated by special counsel Ken Starr. Clinton regularly invited the late billionaire pedophile Jeffery Epstein to the White House.
“As early as 1993, records show, Epstein donated $10,000 to the White House Historical Association and attended a donors’ reception hosted by Bill and Hillary Clinton,” The Daily Beast reported in 2019. “Around the same time, according to a source familiar with the connection, Epstein visited presidential aide Mark Middleton several times at the White House. Two years later, businesswoman Lynn Forester de Rothschild wrote a personal letter to Clinton thanking him for their talk about the financier.”
His post-presidency life included a deepening friendship with Epstein.

The former president took at least 22 trips on Epstein’s infamous private jet — dubbed the “Lolita Express”– after leaving the White House. At times, Clinton left behind his Secret Service detail. Photos from one trip show alleged sex trafficking victim Chauntae Davies, 22-years-old at the time, rubbing the 42nd president’s neck
The two were apparently close enough that Epstein kept a lewd picture of Clinton wearing the infamous blue dress hanging inside his Manhattan home.
Critics attacked the announcement.
