Bill Clinton was smiling and waving to his fans in Mexico on Wednesday, seemingly unfazed as a trove of documents connecting him to disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein were about to be released.
The former president, 77, could be seen visiting San Miguel de Allende, a small city in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato, according to photographs posted by Mayor Mauricio Trejo Pureco.
“Even Bill Clinton walks calmly and safely through the streets of San Miguel de Allende,” the mayor wrote on his social networks alongside the photograph, which showed the former president drinking coffee and shaking hands with passersby.
Despite her calm demeanor, Clinton was pulled back into Epstein’s orbit just hours later, when a trove of never-before-seen documents was released Wednesday night.
The first round of released documents sheds new light on the extent of the deceased financier’s elusive sex trafficking ring. Clinton was named at least 73 times, although he was not involved in any illegal activity.
One mention includes the 2016 testimony of Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg, who said Epstein told her that the former president “likes young girls,” referring to his preference for women.
Former President Bill Clinton was seen in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, on January 3, 2024. Mauricio Trejo/X Bill Clinton was mentioned in court documents related to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein that were released Wednesday night.
Other appearances in the files include accuser Virginia Giuffre’s attempts to force Clinton to be removed from office during her 2015 lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s accomplice now serving 20 years in prison for her role in the sex trafficking scheme.
Giuffre claimed to have met Clinton on Epstein’s private Caribbean island, where the pervert is said to have organized orgies between underage women and powerful men, which Clinton has strongly denied.
Follow The Post’s updates on Jeffrey Epstein’s list of 170 of his associates.
Clinton is known to have flown on Epstein’s private jet, known as the “Lolita Express” for her role in Epstein’s sex trafficking, but available records support claims that the former president never visited the island.
Additionally, a strange painting of Clinton lounging in a blue dress appeared in Epstein’s New York home. The blue dress was a crude reference to the president’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
What we know about Jeffrey Epstein’s list of 170 associates
- Documents were released Wednesday naming 170 associates of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The list included Michael Jackson, magician David Copperfield, Stephen Hawking, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former President Bill Clinton, who, according to one Epstein victim, “likes young women, meaning girls.”
- Disgraced royal Prince Andrew, a known friend of Epstein, was named in the documents and was previously sued by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of sexual misconduct toward her. According to an expert on the royal family, the Firm “will stand by” the Duke of York “no matter what happens.”
- Epstein’s former lawyer and friend Alan Dershowitz defended associates of the late billionaire sex offender, saying: “None of us knew about his private life that he kept secret.” Dershowitz, who is on the list, added that no one should be automatically convicted in the court of public opinion simply for appearing in court documents.
- Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told The Post that the former business mogul said he could have altered the 2016 election because of what he knew about Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton: “Here’s a direct quote: ‘If I said the what I know about both candidates, they would have to cancel the elections. That’s what Jeffrey told me in 2016.”
- Only a few of the 170 names and their relationships with Epstein have been made public. The rest of the documents will likely become public records over the next week.

Former President Donald Trump was also named in the new files.
Trump, who appears at least four times in the first round of new documents, is known to have traveled on Epstein’s plane in the 1990s and was photographed with him on numerous occasions in the early 2000s.
Clinton’s name was mentioned in the documents at least 73 times.
Giuffre alleged in her deposition records released Wednesday that she was first drawn into Epstein’s network when she was 17 as a spa attendant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
Mark Epstein, Jeffrey’s younger brother, told The Post on Wednesday that his brother mentioned in 2016 that he had information so incendiary about Trump and the Clintons that it could upset the presidential election.
“Here’s a direct quote: ‘If I said what I know about both candidates, they would have to cancel the election.’ That’s what Jeffrey told me in 2016,” the younger Epstein said his brother told him during a conversation about the heated confrontation between Trump and Clinton’s wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Epstein said his brother did not elaborate on the nature of what he knew.
The files are expected to contain the names of about 170 people connected to Epstein, from possible conspirators to employees and victims.
The second batch was released on Thursday night.
