Hillary Clinton Spars With Reporter Who Presses Her About Links To Epstein, Maxwell

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denied that she and former President Bill Clinton had connections to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell during a BBC interview posted to YouTube Tuesday.

After BBC Berlin correspondent Jessica Parker referenced the former first couple’s connections to Epstein and Maxwell, she asked, “o you regret the links that there have been between Epstein, Maxwell, and the Clinton family?” Clinton did not directly answer, prompting Parker to repeat the question.

“You know, we have no links,” Clinton said. “We have a very clear record that we’ve been willing to talk about, which my husband has said he took some rides on the airplane for his charitable work. I don’t recall ever meeting him.”

Parker then asked if she had met Maxwell.

“I did on a few occasions, and thousands of people go to the Clinton Global Initiative . So to me it is not something that is really at the heart of what this matter is about,” Clinton said. “They are accused and in both cases were convicted of horrific crimes against girls and women. That should be the focus.”
