Maxwell’s social matchmaking pulled Clinton into Epstein’s orbit, DOJ files show

New DOJ-released records show Maxwell acted as a conduit between Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein, arranging meetings and flights on Epstein’s private jet with Clinton aide Doug Band, while Clinton’s team says he cut ties before Epstein’s crimes and there’s no evidence of wrongdoing by Clinton. The material highlights Epstein’s circle and Maxwell’s role, including references to Clinton’s post-presidency philanthropy via the Clinton Foundation and Global Initiative, and Epstein-related photos and emails that have drawn renewed scrutiny.

Maxwell Helped Launch Clinton Global Initiative, New DOJ Files Reveal

New Justice Department documents show Ghislaine Maxwell played a central role in launching the Clinton Global Initiative, helping with budgeting and vendor coordination with Clinton aides and Publicis, and arranging about $1 million to pay Publicis for the event—though the source of funds remains unclear, Epstein appears to have been aware of the arrangement. Clinton aides stress that President Clinton had limited contact with Epstein, while Maxwell contends she helped set up the CGI and maintained ties to the Clinton circle; the Clinton Foundation notes only minor Epstein-linked donations.
