Old flight records revealing that former presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump traveled on Jeffrey Epstein’s famous “Lolita Express” jet resurfaced Monday, on the anticipated eve of the explosive court records dump that is expected to reveal hundreds of names linked to the financier’s sex trafficking ring.
The 42nd and 45th Commanding Officers were exposed as some of the high-profile passengers who rubbed shoulders with the pedophile when records were released two years earlier during the trial of convicted madam Ghislaine Maxwell.
Clinton is also expected to be identified as “John Doe 36,” who is mentioned more than 50 times in documents related to a 2015 lawsuit by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who will be released from custody on Tuesday.
The flight logs, publicly available since December 2021, circulated on social media on Monday, with many pointing out that the names of the two US presidents appeared repeatedly throughout the 118 pages.
Lawyer Alan Dershowitz, former US Senator George Mitchell and the disgraced Prince Andrew are other big names who were discovered as passengers.
Trump took at least seven private plane trips between 1993 and 1997, sometimes with family members.

Then-real estate developer Trump and Epstein were known partners at the time and were regularly seen together at formal events.
The records, however, do not indicate that Trump or Clinton ever visited Epstein Island in the Caribbean, the center of his international sex trafficking ring.
The Democrat was an even more frequent traveler, taking at least nine plane trips to places like Paris, Bangkok and Brunei.

Clinton has been photographed on the plane numerous times and had Epstein as a guest at the White House on at least 17 occasions during her presidency, but has denied having any nefarious connections to the sex offender.
He is expected to be named as one of 170 people, previously known only as John and Jane Does, with links to Epstein who will soon be revealed in the new year.
The documents are not expected to implicate Clinton in any illegal activity.

Several people identified in the documents have already exposed their association with Epstein or his nefarious sex trafficking ring.
Many accusers and alleged victims are expected to be named, along with people who worked for Epstein over the years, were part of his inner circle or allegedly participated in his crimes.
