Has Bill Clinton’s office released flight logs or travel records confirming his trips on Epstein’s plane?

1. What the flight logs and released files actually show

Federal releases and media publications of Epstein’s flight logs and related documents include entries listing Bill Clinton as a passenger on Epstein-owned aircraft in the early 2000s; press reconstructions count Clinton on dozens of Epstein flights depending on counting methodology, with mainstream outlets reporting figures like at least 17 flights and others noting “up to 26” flights across several trips ^{[1] [5]}. News organizations that reviewed the unsealed logs and DOJ/House document packages show Clinton’s name appears frequently in those records ^{[6] [7]}.

2. Bill Clinton’s office: what it has said and not said

Clinton’s public statements, through spokespeople and the Clinton Foundation, acknowledge that he took trips on Epstein’s plane for work related to the Clinton Foundation and insist he had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes; those statements do not deny the travel entries in flight logs but deny any illegal conduct ^[2]. Available sources do not mention a contemporaneous, full independent release by Clinton’s office of original flight manifests beyond confirming he flew on Epstein’s plane for Foundation work ^[2].

3. Discrepancies and clarifications in reporting

Different outlets have used different tallies and phrasing: some accounts say Clinton flew “up to 26 times” or was on the plane for 26 flights across six trips; others cite at least 17 flights in 2002–03 ^{[5] [1]}. FactCheck.org and other fact-checking reporting note an important nuance: while logs record Clinton on Epstein’s flights, none of the flight logs list Clinton as a passenger on flights that went to the U.S. Virgin Islands — the location of Epstein’s private island — meaning the logs do not corroborate island visits ^{[3] [4]}.

4. Pilot testimony and other corroborating material

Some filings and media reports cite pilot testimony and itinerary entries that place Clinton on planes with other Epstein-associated figures; conservative outlets and court filings highlight pilot statements that identify Clinton on flights and sometimes alongside people later linked to Epstein’s abuse network ^[8]. At the same time, major outlets that reviewed documents emphasize that being listed in flight logs is not the same as proof of criminal conduct and that Clinton has denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes ^{[6] [2]}.

5. Recent document releases and political context

A series of releases in 2024–2025 — including DOJ-produced batches and House Oversight Committee document rollouts — made flight logs, contact books, and emails publicly accessible, prompting renewed scrutiny and congressional subpoenas; Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have cited the logs in pressing for depositions, and the DOJ/FBI memo referenced in some reports said it found no “client list” after reviewing large volumes of material ^{[6] [5]}. Reporting also notes that newly released emails include Epstein’s own denials that Clinton visited the island ^[9].

6. What is not proven by the available records

The published flight logs confirm Clinton was recorded on Epstein flights, but they do not, according to fact-checking reporting and multiple news accounts, prove any trip to Epstein’s private island — the logs contain no passenger listing showing Clinton on a Virgin Islands–bound plane ^{[3] [4]}. Available sources do not mention an independent, full archival release from Bill Clinton’s office reproducing the original Epstein manifests beyond public acknowledgments and the government-released logs ^[2].

7. How to read competing narratives and motivations

Conservative commentators and some filings frame pilot logs and witness statements as strong evidence of “deep ties” between Clinton and Epstein, while mainstream newsrooms and fact-checkers stress distinctions between presence on flight manifests, lawful travel for foundation work, and proof of criminal conduct; political actors seeking oversight have used document releases to justify subpoenas, which introduces partisan incentives into how material is presented ^{[8] [5] [2]}. Readers should note both the documentary evidence in DOJ/House releases and the political context driving renewed investigations and public discussion ^{[6] [5]}.

Bottom line: public documents released by investigators and reported on by multiple outlets show Clinton’s name in Epstein flight logs and Clinton has admitted to some flights aboard Epstein’s plane for foundation work, but the logs — as reported — do not show Clinton on flights to Epstein’s Virgin Islands island, and Clinton’s office has not published its own separate full set of original Epstein manifests in the available reporting ^{[1] [3] [2]}.
