Bill Clinton smiled and greeted fans in Mexico on Wednesday, seemingly unfazed by the impending release of dozens of documents linking him to disgraced pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The former president, 77, can be seen visiting San Miguel de Allende, a small town in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato, according to a photo posted by Mayor Mauricio Trejo Pureco.
“Even Bill Clinton walks calmly and safely through the streets of San Miguel de Allende,” the mayor wrote on social media alongside a photo, which showed the former president sipping coffee and shaking hands with passers-by.
Despite her calm demeanor, Clinton was dragged back into Epstein’s orbit just hours later when a batch of previously unseen documents were released on Wednesday evening.
The first round of released documents shed new light on the scope of sex trafficking that was difficult for the deceased to understand. Clinton was named at least 73 times, even though she was not involved in any illegal activity.
One mention included 2016 testimony from Epstein’s accuser Johanna Sjoberg, who said Epstein told her the former president “likes them young” — a reference to his preference for women.
Former President Bill Clinton was spotted in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico on Jan. 3, 2024. Mauricio Trejo/X Bill Clinton was named in court documents related to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein that was released Wednesday night.
Other appearances in the file include accuser Virginia Giuffre’s attempt to force Clinton to oust during her 2015 prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s co-conspirator who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in the sex-trafficking scheme.
Giuffre claimed to have met Clinton on Epstein’s private Caribbean Island – where the perv allegedly hosted sex parties between underage women and powerful men – which Clinton has vehemently denied.
What we know about Jeffrey Epstein’s list of 170 associates
- On Wednesday, documents were released naming 170 associates of accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The list includes Michael Jackson, magician David Copperfield, Stephen Hawking, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former President Bill Clinton – who one of Epstein’s victims said “likes them young, referring to girls.”
- Disgraced royal Prince Andrew, a known friend of Epstein’s, was named in the document and was previously sued by Epstein’s accuser Virginia Giuffre, who accused Andrew of sexually abusing her. According to a royal family expert, the Firm “will stand by” the Duke of York “no matter what.”
- Epstein’s former lawyer and friend, Alan Dershowitz, defended the multi-millionaire sex offender’s associate, saying: “None of us knew about his private life until he kept it a secret.” Dershowitz, who is on the list, added that no one should be automatically convicted in the court of public opinion simply for appearing in court documents.
- Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told The Post that the former businessman said he could overturn the 2016 election based on what he knew about both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton: “Here’s a direct quote: ‘If I say what I know about both. candidates, they have to cancel the election.’ That’s what Jeffrey told me in 2016.”
- Only some of the 170 names and their connections to Epstein have been released. The remainder of the document will likely become public record over the next week.

Clinton’s name is mentioned in the document at least 73 times.
Clinton is known to have flown on Epstein’s private jet, known as the “Lolita Express” because of her role in Epstein’s sex trafficking, but available records support claims that the former president never visited the island.
Additionally, a strange painting of Clinton lounging in the famous blue dress is displayed in Epstein’s NYC townhouse. The blue dress is a reference to the president’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
Former president Donald Trump is also named in the new file.
Follow along with The Post’s updates on Jeffrey Epstein’s list of his 170 associates.
Trump, who appears at least four times in the first round of new documents, is known to have traveled on Epstein’s plane in the 1990s and was photographed with him numerous times in the early 2000s.
Giuffre claimed in depositions released Wednesday that she was first drawn to Epstein’s website when she was a 17-year-old spa attendant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Mark Epstein, Jeffrey’s younger brother, told The Post on Wednesday that his brother mentioned in 2016 that he had incendiary information about Trump and the Clintons that could overturn the presidential election.
“Here’s a direct quote: ‘If I say what I know about both candidates, they will have to cancel the election.’ That’s what Jeffrey told me in 2016,” the younger Epstein said his brother told him during a conversation about the heated fight between Trump and Clinton’s wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Epstein said his brother did not elaborate on what nature he knew.
About 170 people connected to Epstein — from possible conspirators to employees and victims — are expected to be named in the file. The second batch was released on Thursday night.
