Under-fire Bill Clinton escaped the furor over the latest revelations in newly-released court documents related to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein with a get-away trip to a luxury resort in Mexico
Bill and Hillary Clinton have been spotted soaking up the sun at a remote Mexican getaway in the company of California Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife Jennifer.
The former president, 77, has been in Latin America since the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s documents began on January 3. He is mentioned several times in the lawsuits – and although he is not accused of any wrongdoing, the documents give off an unwelcome impression. attention to his friendship with the deceased pedophile financier. One of Epstein’s victims, Johanna Sjoberg, claimed that Epstein told her that Clinton “likes them young, referring to girls.”
The former president flew on Epstein’s private jet several times and once publicly praised the financier’s intellect and philanthropic efforts.
Sjoberg testified in her deposition that she never met Clinton, and none of Epstein’s victims accused Clinton of sexual impropriety.

Clinton previously said through a spokesperson that he never visited his homes during his trip on Epstein’s plane, had no knowledge of his crimes and has not spoken to Epstein since his conviction in Florida.
Other released documents contain legal arguments about whether Clinton should be impeached. Lawyers for Virginia Roberts-Giuffre — whose legal battle was the source of the court papers — argued that the former president was a “key person who could provide information about his close relationship” with Epstein.
Bill and Hillary Clinton avoided all news of the documents in Mexico and stayed at the luxurious Four Seasons resort in Tamarindo, in the western state of Jalisco.
The secluded hotel, where rooms cost $800 a night, is nestled in a 3,000-acre nature reserve and has a six-mile private beach. It also features a spa, a golf course and a ranch where much of the food for the restaurant is grown and grown.

The Clintons were seen riding a golf cart with Newsom, and the couples had dinner together.
Newsom has been friends with the Clintons for years and wished Bill a happy birthday on Facebook in 2016.
“Happy 70th President Bill Clinton!” he posted.
‘Grateful for your leadership and your friendship. Here’s to many more years of pointing out the value of “arithmetic!”
Before traveling to Tamarindo, Clinton was spotted strolling the streets of the popular tourist town of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, 500 miles inland from the resort town.
Mayor Mauricio Trejo Pureco shared a photo of Clinton in front of the parish of San Miguel Arcángel on social media.
In a tweet, Pureco welcomed him, saying: ‘Even Bill Clinton walks calmly and safely through the streets of San Miguel de Allende, enjoying the unique beauty and friendliness of the people of San Miguel de Allende.
“Welcome Mr. President! That’s why we’re (the) best little city in the world!!!’

The photo was taken in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
The image of the couple next to Piñera was shared by Frank Elías Rainieri, a hotelier in the Dominican Republic.
Hillary Clinton was not known to spend time with Jeffrey Epstein, but her husband had been a friend since at least 1993.
The pedophile financier made at least 17 visits to the White House, presidential logs show, and Bill Clinton also flew on Epstein’s private jet and made trips to Europe, Asia and Africa in 2002 and 2003.
Bill Clinton’s spokesperson Angel Urena said in July 2019, when Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, that he knows “nothing about the terrible crimes” Epstein was accused of, and that Clinton had not spoken to Epstein “in more than a decade.”

It is unclear how Clinton and Epstein met.
On January 3, hours before the court documents were unsealed, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark, a New York-based real estate developer, said his sibling claimed to have information about Donald Trump and Bill Clinton that was so explosive it could have changed the 2016 presidential election. would derail.
Mark Epstein, 18 months younger than Jeffrey, said his brother never provided details.
Mark, 69, told The New York Post: “Here’s a direct quote: ‘If I told them what I know about both candidates, they would have to cancel the election.’ Jeffrey told me that in 2016.’
Hillary Clinton was not known to spend time with Jeffrey Epstein, but her husband had been a friend since at least 1993.
Epstein and Maxwell were pictured greeting Bill Clinton at the White House in 1993, during an event for donors to the White House Historical Association. Epstein attended the event after donating $10,000 to the fund.
The pedophile financier made at least 17 visits to the White House, presidential logs show, and Bill Clinton also flew on Epstein’s private jet and made trips to Europe, Asia and Africa in 2002 and 2003.
Mark Epstein said flying with Bill Clinton was a crucial mistake by his brother because it suddenly thrust his activities into the spotlight.
“Jeff first took Clinton, and I think it was Chris Tucker and a few other people, to Africa – which was a mistake my brother made in that, because he was under the radar before that; no one was looking at him.
“But when he flew Clinton there, I thought, ‘Who is this guy flying Clinton?’
Bill Clinton’s spokesperson Angel Urena said in July 2019, when Jeffrey Epstein was arrested, that he knows “nothing about the terrible crimes” Epstein was accused of, and that Clinton had not spoken to Epstein “in more than a decade.”
There is no evidence that Clinton ever visited Epstein’s Caribbean island, Little St. James.
