In addition to the former president and secretary of State, subpoenas were also issued to former high-ranking members of the Obama and first Trump administrations.

Those recipients include former Attorneys General Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, and Merrick Garland along with former Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The former secretary of state is scheduled to be deposed on October 9 while her husband is slated to answer questions five days later.

Flight logs show Bill Clinton took at least 26 flights on Epstein's plane

Mr. and Mrs. Clinton are known to have associated with Epstein for decades and speculation has swirled over the nature of their relationship with him.

A Fox News report published in 2016 cited Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) logs which revealed that Mr. Clinton took at least 26 flights on Epstein's private airplane, which was nicknamed the "Lolita Express."

Additionally, the former president appears to have left members of his Secret Service protective detail behind for at least five of those 26 flights.

What's more, the Post reported in 2021 that Epstein made at least 17 visits to the White House at various times during Clinton's two terms as president.

Clinton acknowledged flying on Epstein's plan but denied wrongdoing

This included one visit in 1993 that saw Epstein get photographed with Clinton while taking a tour of the East Room as well as the presidential residence.

Breitbart reported that the former president acknowledged having traveled on Epstein's private plane in his 2024 book titled "Citizen: My Life After the White House."

Clinton insisted that his involvement with the disgraced finance mogul was entirely limited to work with the Clinton Global Initiative.

"I wish I had never met him," Clinton declared while denying any wrongdoing and lamenting "the years of questioning afterward."
