Billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein once claimed he helped found Clinton Foundation as he touted close relationship with former president during plea bargain negotiations

Lawyers for billionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein once claimed he co-founded the Clinton Foundation as they touted his relationship with the former president during plea negotiations.

In an attempt to boost Epstein's image before he was sentenced for soliciting an underage girl for prostitution in 2008, his attorneys tried to emphasize his close ties with Bill Clinton, Fox News reports.

A July 2007 letter to the South Florida State U.S. Attorney's office, written by lawyers Alan Dershowitz and Gerald Lefcourt, claimed that Epstein had been part of the original group that set up the Foundation's Clinton Global Initiative, focusing on 'some of the world's most pressing challenges.'

They also mention Clinton was a guest of Epstein who hosted a trip to Africa in 2002 on his private Boeing 727 - dubbed 'Lolita Express' - on behalf of the charity.

==============

Former US President Bill Clinton is testifying today as part of an investigation into a sex trafficking network set up by late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The disgraced financier visited the White House 17 times between 1993 and 1995 during Clinton’s term in office.

The former president is believed to have flown on Epstein’s private jet, nicknamed the ‘Lolita Express’, up to 26 times between 2001 and 2003.

Clinton’s deposition before the House Oversight Committee follows his wife Hillary’s nearly seven-hour testimony on Thursday. After that session, Committee Chairman James Comer told reporters he expected the former president’s deposition “will last even longer.”

“We have a lot of questions for her husband tomorrow,” Comer said, noting that Hillary Clinton responded with “I don’t know, you’ll have to ask my husband” more than a dozen times.

Newly released Justice Department files include photographs showing Bill Clinton with Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in prison for sex trafficking and related offenses. One undated image shows Clinton in a hot tub next to a person whose face is redacted. Another photograph shows him swimming at night with Maxwell.
