As Democrats continue to smear former President Donald Trump as a sexual predator leading up to the 2024 election, President Joe Biden raised money in New York City on Thursday night at a star-studded event headlined by Bill Clinton — a frequent flyer with Jeffrey Epstein.
In January, a New York jury ordered Trump to pay more than $83 million in defamatory damages against former Elle magazine writer E. Jean Carroll, who claimed the former president raped her decades ago. Trump was never found guilty of rape, but Carroll won a civil lawsuit anyway over Trump denying the allegations of sexual assault, which allegedly occurred in 1995 or 1996 — she can’t remember the exact year.
Meanwhile, Biden has made light of his party’s attempts to bankrupt his top political opponent. In fact, the cascade of litigation against the Republican nominee is Democrats’ 2024 campaign strategy. Since leaving office in 2021, Trump has been forced to come up with more than $100 million just in legal bills, according to The New York Times. And any donor money going to defend against anti-Trump lawfare is money that can’t be used to run 2024 offense.
“The other day, a defeated man — looking man came up to me,” Biden joked at a recent reception, “and said, ‘Mr. President, I’m being crushed by debt. I’m completely wiped out.’ And I had to say, ‘I’m sorry, Donald, but I can’t help you.’”

But while Biden attempts to put his Republican rival in jail before the November election, he’s running with the support of a former president who faces far more credible allegations of sexual misconduct. Court documents unsealed in January confirmed reports of Clinton’s adventures with deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein victim Johanna Sjoberg testified in a 2016 deposition that the billionaire financier would tell her about Clinton’s desire for young girls.
“He said one time that Clinton likes them young, referring to girls,” Sjoberg said.
Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking in Epstein’s ring in 2021, was ambiguous about Clinton’s relationship with Epstein but testified that the pair flew together.
David Rodgers, Epstein’s pilot, corroborated accounts of Clinton’s air travel with the notorious sex trafficker, testifying that he flew the former president after Clinton left the White House.
“To the best of my knowledge. It was the first time that we had flown him,” said Rodgers, who said he had “no idea” about the ins and outs of Clinton’s relationship with Epstein.
Flight logs show Clinton made a habit of taking trips with Epstein. In 2002 and 2003, they flew all over the world, from Europe and Asia to the Caribbean.
Clinton has admitted to the international travel with the sex trafficker but denied any knowledge of criminal conduct.
There’s far more evidence of Clinton being wrapped up in sexual scandal, however, than there ever was that Trump raped E. Jean Carroll, which former Clinton Communications Director George Stephanopoulos accused Trump of just this month.
