The press secretary of former President Bill Clinton issued a statement on July 8, saying that Clinton “knows nothing about the terrible crimes” related to Jeffrey Epstein—the billionaire registered child sex offender who was arrested in New Jersey on July 6 on sex trafficking charges.
According to an indictment unsealed by federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, Epstein, 66, sexually abused and exploited dozens of girls, some as young as 14, in New York and Florida. The documents were published online (pdf) by the court on July 8.
