The two former presidents were among dozens named in papers released Wednesday night. Neither has been accused of misconduct in the Epstein case.

Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump are mentioned in newly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein-related court documents, but they are not accused of any wrongdoing involving the disgraced sex trafficking financier.

Clinton, who sometimes flew aboard Epstein’s private plane, is listed repeatedly in the documents because he was the topic of an argument over the credibility of a witness who said she saw the former president when he was a guest of Epstein.

Trump’s name appears in a document in which Epstein is quoted as saying he would invite the then-real estate mogul to join him at a casino. In another document, a witness said she was never asked to engage in sexual relations with Trump.

    Of course. It wouldn’t have been released if it implicated either of them. The man was constantly flying with a ton of high powered folks who knew about Epstein’s proclivities.

    Edit: rewrote a horribly written sentence.

    It’s funny that this is getting downvoted. Ask yourselves; when has a person of great wealth with connections to the halls of power been taken down. Even Trump who tried to burn the world down was able to get away with so many illegal acts that went un-investigated. Look at the governor Snyder of Michigan who poisoned a whole community in Flint. We don’t punish people in power.
