Magaziner's Trip with Clinton and Epstein to Africa Comes Under New Scrutiny As Photos Are Leaked

Photos published by the Daily Mail of former President Bill Clinton during a trip to Africa with Jeffrey Epstein and Ira Magaziner have raised more questions about the relationship between Clinton, Magaziner and the convicted and now deceased pedophile Epstein.

Both Clinton and Magaziner traveled with Epstein on a number of trips according to flight records. The senior Magaziner also appears in Epstein's so-called 'Black Book.'

The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday, “Bill Clinton grins with pleasure as he enjoys an intimate neck massage with a young Jeffrey Epstein victim in never-before-seen photographs obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com.

The troubling pictures are an ill-timed reminder of Clinton's links to Epstein as the former President, 72, prepares to endorse Joe Biden tonight at the Democratic Convention.

Clinton traveled numerous times on the dead pedophile’s private Jet, the Lolita Express, socialized with his alleged Madame, Ghislaine Maxwell, and faced a slew of sexual misconduct accusations himself during his years in public life.”

Magaziner, the father of Rhode Island Treasurer Seth Magaziner, has repeatedly refused to respond to questions from GoLocal. Instead, the younger Magaziner used his state-paid spokesperson to issue one statement, and then the Treasurer's office removed GoLocal from the Treasurer’s office press list in retribution.

Latest in Magaziner-Epstein Flight

In August of 2019, GoLocal first exposed Magaziner’s travels on Epstein’s plane — a plane dubbed the Lolita Express due to allegations of sex between young girls tied to Epstein -- and consort Ghislaine Maxwell, who was recently arrested. 

GoLocal reported, “According to flight records, the senior Magaziner flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane numerous times. The flight records show that Magaziner flew with Epstein and Clinton in Africa, China, and Hong Kong.

Magaziner has close ties to Clinton. During Clinton’s presidency, Magaziner was Senior Advisor for Policy Development leading the Clintons' effort for national healthcare policy.

After his White House career, Magaziner chaired the Clinton Climate Initiative and the Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS program, with its focus on Africa.

One set of flights with Epstein was in September of 2002 in Africa that included a landing in Dubai. Besides Magaziner and Clinton, the flight log lists supermodel Naomi Campbell, and actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker.

 

Flight logs were released by a series of court orders tied to other litigation involving Epstein and his longtime companion Maxwell.

On another set of flights in 2003, the senior Magaziner traveled again with Epstein and Clinton to mainland China — to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province and then to Hong Kong.

 

In one of the captions of the newly released photos states the following.

"Clinton, then 56, had complained of having a stiff neck after falling asleep on Epstein's infamous private jet, nicknamed The Lolita Express, while on a humanitarian trip with the pedophile to Africa in September of 2002.”

The Daily Mail reports, “Davies, who has claimed she was raped by Epstein several times after being recruited by Maxwell, said Clinton was a 'complete gentleman' on the trip.”

As the Daily Mail reported: 

Davies said earlier this year that revisiting the photos made her question how such powerful people were pulled into Epstein's circle as he was committing heinous sex crimes.

'It's clear that Epstein was using this private jet and his wealth to get close to rich and powerful people,' Davies said.

'Looking back at these images now it raises a lot of questions about why Bill Clinton was using the plane and what perhaps Jeffrey may have been trying to accomplish by having him around.'
