<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\nBill Clinton’s former top aide and\u00a0Chelsea Clinton nemesis<\/a>\u00a0Doug Band\u00a0<\/strong>has told\u00a0Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>that former President Bill Clinton\u00a0did<\/em>\u00a0visit Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous “pedo island” in January 2003, and that\u00a0he was<\/strong>\u00a0unable to push Epstein out of Clinton’s orbit since they flew to Africa together in 2002<\/strong>\u00a0aboard the the pedophile’s (Epstein’s) private 727, dubbed the “Lolita Express.”<\/p>\n Band said he had no idea about Epstein\u2019s sex crimes back then\u00a0but got enough bad vibes that he advised Clinton to end the relationship<\/strong>. But\u00a0Clinton continued to socialize with Epstein and take his money<\/strong><\/u>. In 2006 Epstein donated $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Clinton made more than two dozen trips on Epstein\u2019s jet around this time, Epstein\u2019s flight logs show. In January 2003, according to Band, Clinton visited Epstein\u2019s private Caribbean island, Little St. James. Band said it was one of the few trips he declined to go on in his time with Clinton. –Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Band<\/strong>\u00a0– who revealed the Clinton Foundation’s\u00a0‘for-profit’<\/a>\u00a0activity and accused Chelsea Clinton of tapping Foundation funds to\u00a0pay for her wedding<\/a>\u00a0(known only because of WikiLeaks) – also says Chelsea Clinton had a relationship with Epstein and his alleged co-conspirator in an underage sex trafficking ring, Ghislaine Maxwell.<\/p>\n Chelsea had ties to Epstein and Maxwell, Band said; he showed me a photo of Bill and Chelsea posing with Epstein and Maxwell at the King of Morocco\u2019s wedding. Chelsea remained friends with Maxwell for years after the press revealed Maxwell was a close associate of Epstein\u2019s. For instance, Chelsea invited Maxwell to her 2010 wedding at the Brooke Astor estate in Rhinebeck, New York, after Epstein had pleaded guilty in Florida to procuring sex from a minor. –Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n “Ghislaine had access to yachts and nice homes. Chelsea needed that<\/strong>,” said Band.<\/p>\n Band notably created the\u00a0now-defunct<\/a>\u00a0Clinton Global Initiative, which has helped to raise $74 billion for Clinton global charities, according to\u00a0Newsmax<\/em><\/a>. Thanks again to WikiLeaks, we also know that Band was\u00a0soliciting donations for Clinton\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>through his PR and investment firm, Teneo in an sordid example of “pay for play” which most of the mainstream media refused to cover – which he worried about in an email to John Podesta, saying: “If this story gets out, we are screwed<\/a>.”<\/p>\n In response to Band’s claims about Chelsea, a family spokesperson said that “Chelsea was on friendly terms with Maxwell because of a mutual friend (Gateway computer founder Ted Waitt)<\/strong>\u00a0and only took one yacht trip with Maxwell in 2009: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t until 2015 that Chelsea became aware of the horrific allegations against Ghislaine Maxwell and she hopes that all the victims find justice.”<\/p>\n<\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n
