Question
How many times did Bill Clinton fly on Epstein’s plane?
Answer
Flight logs and related records show that Bill Clinton flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s aircraft approximately 26 times, primarily between 2002 and 2003. Many of these flights appear to have been associated with Africa-related travel connected to the William J. Clinton Foundation’s health and AIDS initiatives.
The logs were first publicized by the Fox News Network and subsequently analyzed by other outlets. They showed Clinton traveling to locations including Africa, Europe, and Asia on Epstein’s Boeing 727.
Clinton has confirmed he flew on Epstein’s plane for foundation-related work, stating he did so for convenience and cost savings on international travel. His office has said he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal conduct and that they have not been in contact since 2002.
Critically, some log entries include notations identifying other passengers. Certain logs include names of Secret Service personnel traveling with Clinton — consistent with his post-presidential security requirements. Some entries that raised concern among investigators involved flights where Secret Service agents were reportedly not present, though the details of individual flights vary in documentation.
Clinton has not been accused of participating in Epstein’s trafficking operation. However, the volume of travel and Epstein’s careful cultivation of the relationship remain subjects of scrutiny.
