Which Jeffrey Epstein accusers have publicly mentioned Bill Clinton by name and when?
Executive summary
Virginia Giuffre (née Roberts) is the principal Epstein accuser on record who has publicly said she saw Bill Clinton on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island and that Clinton dined with Epstein; she has not accused Clinton of sexual wrongdoing and first made that public claim in reporting around 2014–2015 and in subsequent civil filings and interviews cited in later unsealed documents [1] [2]. Other named survivors and court depositions released so far do not allege sexual misconduct by Clinton, and many media and justice-department releases emphasize photographs and mentions rather than accusations of criminal conduct [2] [3] [4].
1. Virginia Giuffre’s statements: what she said and when
Virginia Giuffre publicly stated in interviews and in civil litigation filings during 2014–2015 that she had seen Bill Clinton on Epstein’s Little Saint James island shortly after his presidency and that she observed Clinton dining with Epstein, but she did not allege that Clinton sexually abused her and has not accused him of sexual misconduct in those accounts [1] [2]. Those observations by Giuffre resurfaced and were referenced repeatedly as batches of Epstein-related documents and photos were released by authorities and Congress in late 2025, where her prior civil suit was a focal point of renewed headlines [1] [4].
2. Court files and document releases: mentions, photos and context
Unsealed court records and tranche releases from the Justice Department and congressional sources include multiple references to Bill Clinton and several photographs showing Clinton with Epstein; the files and photos have been publicized without context and explicitly do not constitute accusations of criminal behavior by Clinton in the materials released to date [4] [3]. News organizations reporting on the document releases stressed that being named or appearing in photos in Epstein-related files is not itself an allegation of illegal conduct, and that the files contain both investigators’ material and historical images whose provenance and meaning are often unclear [3] [5].
3. What other survivors and depositions say — and what they do not
Depositions and testimony from other survivors cited in the unsealed records—such as testimony mentioning encounters with other high-profile figures—do not, in the reporting provided, include allegations that Bill Clinton committed sexual abuse; BBC reporting explicitly notes that Clinton is named in documents without implication of illegality, and other survivors mentioned meeting public figures through Epstein but did not accuse Clinton of wrongdoing [2] [3]. Reporting and DOJ statements repeatedly underline that survivors have not publicly accused Clinton of the crimes for which Epstein was prosecuted [3].
4. Political and prosecutorial follow-up: subpoenas, refusals and investigations
The Clinton name has become a political flashpoint: in late 2025 and into January 2026, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Bill Clinton to give a deposition about Epstein-related matters while Clinton and his representatives maintained he was not accused of wrongdoing and declined to appear, prompting threats of contempt proceedings [6] [7] [8] [9]. Separately, the Justice Department announced investigative reviews into Epstein’s broader relationships and institutional links after political pressure in 2025, but public reporting stresses those inquiries concern connections and context rather than public criminal accusations against Clinton by survivors [10].
5. Reporting caveats, agendas and what remains unproven
Major outlets and documents repeatedly caution that photos and mentions in the Epstein trove are not proof of criminal conduct and that some actors—particularly partisan figures—have amplified Clinton’s presence in the files for political ends; media critics and Clinton spokespeople have called out efforts to “scapegoat” the former president even as investigators sort through records [11] [8]. The available sources do not show multiple Epstein accusers publicly naming Clinton as a perpetrator; the principal public reference from an accuser is Virginia Giuffre’s report of seeing Clinton on Epstein’s island and dining with him in 2014–2015, without an accusation of sexual misconduct [1] [2]. If additional survivors have since named Clinton in a manner not reflected in the provided reporting, that is beyond the current corpus and cannot be asserted here.
