NEW YORK - February 27th, 2026 - Former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has issued a firm denial regarding reports alleging she visited convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein at his New York home. The denial comes following the release of a substantial cache of documents by the House Oversight Committee, including flight logs and photographic evidence appearing to place Clinton aboard Epstein's private aircraft on multiple occasions.

The controversy reignited this week when the Committee publicly unveiled the documents as part of its continuing investigation into Epstein's extensive network of associates and alleged co-conspirators. The release has prompted renewed scrutiny of prominent figures connected to Epstein, with Clinton becoming a central focus of media attention.

In a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter), Clinton acknowledged a single, brief professional encounter with Epstein but vehemently denied ever setting foot in his residence. "I never met with Jeffrey Epstein at his home," she wrote. "I briefly met him once at a fundraiser." She further expressed confusion over her name appearing on the released documentation, stating, "I don't know why my name appeared on those documents. I have no idea."

Clinton's communications team has been quick to characterize the encounters as strictly professional in nature, framing them as discussions surrounding philanthropic endeavors. They assert the meetings were cursory and focused solely on charitable work, attempting to distance Clinton from the more sinister aspects of Epstein's activities. However, critics point to the flight logs as evidence of a potentially more extensive relationship than Clinton is admitting.

The documents released by the House Oversight Committee include manifests indicating Clinton was a passenger on Epstein's aircraft, often referred to as the "Lolita Express," on several flights between 2003 and 2007. These flights raise questions about the nature of Clinton's travel arrangements and the extent of her association with Epstein and the individuals who also frequented his plane. While the committee has not explicitly accused Clinton of any wrongdoing, they are clearly signaling that her involvement warrants further investigation.

This isn't the first time Clinton's connection to Epstein has come under scrutiny. During the initial wave of revelations regarding Epstein's crimes in 2019, Clinton addressed the matter, stating she had known Epstein in connection with the Clinton Foundation and had "ceased contact" with him after learning of the allegations against him. However, the newly released documents appear to contradict that timeline and suggest a continued relationship beyond what she previously disclosed.

The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, has vowed to pursue all leads in the Epstein investigation, regardless of political affiliation. "We are committed to uncovering the truth about Epstein's network and holding those who enabled his abuse accountable," Comer stated in a press release accompanying the document dump. "These documents raise serious questions that demand answers."

Legal experts suggest that while simply flying on Epstein's plane isn't necessarily illegal, it raises ethical concerns and could become problematic if evidence emerges demonstrating knowledge of or participation in Epstein's criminal activities. The burden of proof will likely fall on investigators to establish a connection between Clinton's travel and any illicit behavior.

The release of these documents comes at a politically sensitive time, with the 2028 presidential election cycle already beginning to take shape. While Clinton has repeatedly stated she has no plans to run for office again, the renewed controversy could potentially impact her legacy and fuel further speculation about her future political involvement. The situation also creates potential ammunition for opponents seeking to damage her reputation.

The coming weeks are expected to see further scrutiny of the released documents, with the House Oversight Committee likely to call for additional testimony from Clinton and other individuals connected to Epstein. The investigation is far from over, and the full extent of Clinton's relationship with the convicted sex offender remains a subject of intense debate and speculation.
