In a dramatic post to social media, Roger Stone, Trump’s longest-serving political advisor and a highly influential figure in the GOP, argued that several prominent Democrats will be named as Epstein Clients in upcoming documents.
For context, debate has raged over the Epstein scandal, and Democrats have tried to paint Trump as complicit in the affair. However, Republicans have noted that several prominent Democrats were closely associated with the controversial billionaire.
In any case, Roger Stone took aim at a number of prominent Democrats. He noted, “Which will fail those on Epstein client roster are all democrats – Bill Clinton, Treasury Secretary, Larry Summers, Governor Bill Richardson, US Senator George Mitchell and Democrat super-donor Bill Gates.”
Supporting Stone’s comments about Bill Clinton, Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has named Clinton as a primary suspect in the case. He stated, “Everybody in America wants to know what went on in Epstein Island, and we’ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he’s a prime suspect to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee,” building on this point, he stated, “So, hopefully we’ll win that court battle with that subpoena and see President Clinton in October.”
Additionally, Comer noted, “I’ve never lost a subpoena battle. I’ve been chairman of that committee for a year and a half — this is the most challenging subpoena I’ve ever issued, but what makes this subpoena different is that the Democrats voted with Republicans.”
Supporting the allegations and casting aspersions on Larry Summers, President Trump stated, “Bill Clinton was on his plane and went to the island, supposedly, 28 times. I don’t want to bring that up. Frankly, you have Larry, whatever his name is, Summers, the head of Harvard, who was Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend. Nobody ever talks about that. I mean, I don’t want to hurt Larry Summers, but he was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein.”
Additionally, as reported by the BBC, leading Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre alleged that she was forced to sleep with prominent figures, including New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. However, before his death last year, the politician denied these rumors. When asked by prosecutors,” Ghislaine Maxwell told you to give a massage to Bill Richardson, correct?” Ms. Giuffre confirmed that she did.

Additionally, Former Maine Senator George Mitchell (D) frantically denied these allegations. He stated, “The allegation contained in the released documents is false. I have never met, spoken with, or had any contact with Ms. Giuffre. In my contacts with Mr. Epstein, I never observed or suspected any inappropriate conduct with underage girls. I only learned of his actions when they were reported in the media related to his prosecution in Florida. We have had no further contact.”
Similarly, a spokesperson for Governor Richardson desperately denied these allegations, saying, “Governor Richardson has never even been contacted by any party regarding this lawsuit. To be clear, in Governor Richardson’s limited interactions with Mr. Epstein, he never saw him in the presence of young or underage girls. Governor Richardson has never been to Mr. Epstein’s residence in the Virgin Islands. Governor Richardson has never met Ms. Giuffre.”
