On what dates did Jeffrey Epstein meet with Bill Clinton at the White House or its grounds?
Executive summary
Available reporting and archival summaries indicate Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House several times in the 1990s while Bill Clinton was president, with multiple sources saying visits occurred as early as 1993 and through at least 1995; some accounts count “at least 17” White House visits by Epstein during 1993–1995 and report Epstein met a Clinton aide, Mark Middleton, there on multiple occasions [1] [2]. Precise, single-day visitor-log listings with exact dates are not included in the materials provided here; the sources describe ranges and specific events (a 1993 donor reception and a 1995 Palm Beach dinner) rather than a full dated log [1] [3].
1. What the sources say about White House visits and timing
Contemporary reporting and later summaries say Epstein “visited the White House at least 17 times between 1993 and 1995” and that he attended a donors’ reception at the White House in 1993 with Ghislaine Maxwell, which archives confirm [1]. Business Insider relaying the Daily Beast likewise reports multiple visits in the 1990s, saying some were as early as 1993 and that Epstein met presidential aide Mark Middleton on at least three occasions at the White House [2]. The Independent’s timeline repeats that Epstein attended the 1993 donors’ reception and that he and Clinton were both at a Palm Beach fundraising dinner in 1995 [3].
2. What these reports do not provide — and why that matters
None of the provided items contains a full, itemized White House visitor log with calendar dates for each Epstein visit; they give date ranges, counts, and a few event markers [1] [2] [3]. That means available sources here cannot produce a definitive list of the exact calendar dates Epstein was on the White House grounds or met Clinton there. If you need day-by-day verification, those specific logs or archival releases are not found in the current reporting supplied (not found in current reporting).
3. Who Epstein reportedly met and the nature of those meetings
Reporting emphasizes Epstein’s contacts with Clinton’s aides — most notably Mark Middleton, a special assistant — and that several of Epstein’s White House entries were to meet Middleton rather than documented one-on-one meetings with President Clinton himself [1] [2]. The 1993 donors’ reception is recorded as an event where Epstein and Maxwell were “received” by the Clintons, but the detailed content of any private conversations is not documented in the sources provided [1].
4. Post-presidency travel vs. White House visits
Separately, multiple sources note Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet on philanthropic trips after leaving the White House and before Epstein’s 2008 conviction; those flights are distinct from the White House visits in the 1990s that the sources describe [4]. The Reuters summary notes Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet several times prior to Epstein’s 2008 conviction [4].
5. Disagreements, limitations, and political context
There is a political overlay: recent document releases and political actors have used Epstein materials to press probes and public narratives [4] [5]. The Justice Department announced a probe into Epstein ties with Clinton and others at Trump’s request, according to Reuters, which illustrates how new document releases can reinvigorate political scrutiny even where prior reporting described the social connections without alleging criminal conduct by Clinton [4]. The sources stress that no credible evidence in these items has shown Clinton’s involvement in Epstein’s crimes [4].
6. Practical next steps to get exact dates
If your goal is a precise calendar of Epstein’s White House entries, the sources here suggest the relevant primary records are White House visitor logs or the Clinton Presidential Library event archives — records that would show individual dates. Those specific logs or a published itemized list are not present in the materials you supplied (not found in current reporting). Seeking the National Archives, the Clinton Library’s online photo and event logs, or the House Oversight Committee’s released document collections would be the next documented sources to consult.
Summary judgment: the assembled reporting consistently places Epstein at the White House multiple times in 1993–1995, with at least one donor event in September 1993 and social overlap in 1995, but the precise dates of every White House visit or any direct meetings with President Clinton are not enumerated in the sources provided [1] [2] [3] [4].
