Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein ended his friendship with Bill Clinton because he believed the former president was a liar, according to new emails the disgraced financier’s estate handed over to Congress on Wednesday.
The emails obtained by the House Oversight Committee show that Kathryn Ruemmler, a former White House counsel to President Barack Obama, had a chummy relationship with Epstein — and the two frequently discussed politics in the lead-up to the 2016 election.
In a Jan. 23, 2016, email, Epstein revealed that he broke off contact with Slick Willy after “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.”
“Who knows what they’re talking about,” a Clinton spokesperson responded in a statement. “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.”
Ruemmler and Epstein had been discussing another person named “macgiver” earlier in the email thread, and sources familiar with the exchange indicated that Ruemmler’s comments only referred to that individual.
“I will just say I told you so. Not to sound overly dramatic, but he is very close to being a psychopath,” Ruemmler had said earlier in the exchange of the mysterious individual. “[H]e has no conscience. It’s scary.”
“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. I promise,” added Ruemmler of this person, who was once listed as a backup executor to Epstein’s estate in January 2019, the Wall Street Journal reported.
But it’s unclear how long the two remained at odds as Clinton was mentioned in other emails in the trove of more than 20,000 pages worth of documents released by the powerful House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.
“Let’s do a men of the world conference,” theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss said in an April 5, 2018, email to Epstein, sending a proposed invite list that included Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey, former Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) and director Woody Allen.
Ruemmler had met Epstein while employed as a partner at Latham and Watkins. She is the Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel at Goldman Sachs. A spokesperson for the banking giant claimed Ruemmler’s interactions with Epstein were limited to business.
“They shared a common client that originated as an Epstein referral,” the spokesperson said, referring to her time at Latham & Watkins.
Clinton and Epstein’s ties date back to at least the early 1990s, when the child sex predator donated money to the 42nd president’s campaign. Later, he contributed $20,000 to Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign in 1999. Epstein visited the White House over a dozen times during the Clinton presidency, visitor logs show.
Following Clinton’s White House departure, the two remained in touch. Epstein was an active donor to the Clinton Foundation and Slick Willy appeared in flight logs for the late pedaphile’s infamous “Lolita Express” on more than two dozen occasions.
Epstein was known to staff his jet with young women while mingling with powerful people.
The former president had been pictured getting a shoulder rub from Chauntae Davies, a 22-year-old massage therapist, on a 2002 humanitarian trip to Africa, during a stop to refuel on a trip involving the Lolita Express.
Clinton also visited Epstein’s apartment in New York, though he didn’t swing by the disgraced financier’s infamous private island of Little St. James, according to a spokesperson. Strikingly, Epstein kept a strange painting of Clinton in a blue dress in his Upper East Side mansion, referencing the dress at the center of the former president’s sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky.
