Questions on a former president were among the hundreds of times Jeffrey Epstein invoked the Fifth Amendment despite claims of “no substantial risk of incrimination.”
The controversial ties of A-list celebrities, influencers and world leaders to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have hardly been cleared up by the court-ordered unsealing of documents related to Virginia Giuffre’s lawsuit against him and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.
In fact, the latest trove of documents further added to suspicion around former President Bill Clinton after it was revealed the financier and conductor of the “Lolita Express” opted out of answering at least three questions related to “Slick Willie.”
As part of Giuffre’s defamation suit, a Sept. 2016 motion by her legal team was filed requesting that the court compel Epstein to “produce documents and testimony in response to his repeated invocations of the Fifth Amendment at his recent deposition.”
The court documents revealed that the sex offender had invoked the Fifth Amendment’s Self Incrimination Clause 500 times when he was deposed by Giuffre’s lawyers and, in addition to the questions left unanswered about the president, Epstein also opted for the Fifth regarding at least one question about the Clinton Foundation.
Included in their list of questions was one where Epstein was asked to “describe all dinners you’ve ever had with Bill Clinton.”
Another asked to specify whether or not Clinton rode on his jet “a number of times in 2002.”
Additionally, Epstein was asked to “list every place [he] and Bill Clinton have ever been together,” and to detail his “interactions with the Clinton Foundation.”
Giuffre’s lawyers contended a considerable number of questions the sex offender invoked the Fifth Amendment on, “pose no substantial risk of incrimination.”
While neither Clinton nor any of his family members have been formally charged with any wrongdoing connected to Epstein, it was previously reported that the former president allegedly threatened Vanity Fair over their intent to publish articles about Epstein and sex trafficking.
An email from Giuffre to the Daily Mail’s Sharon Churcher from May 2011 read in part, “When i was doing some research into [Vanity Fair] yesterday, it does concern me that they could want to write about me considering that B.Clinton walked into [Vanity Fair] and threatened them not to write sex-trafficking articles about his good friend [Jeffrey Epstein].”

The financier’s silence on his “interactions with the Clinton Foundation” wasn’t unique either as the recently released court documents also included testimony from “Lolita Express” pilot Nadia Marcinkova who had also invoked the Fifth Amendment when asked whether Clinton had rode Epstein’s plane.
“Have you witnessed improper sexual activity between Jeffrey Epstein and minors, while he was in the presence of Bill Clinton?” the model-turned-pilot was asked as well, to which she replied, “Fifth.”
