Actor Kevin Spacey is calling for the Jeffrey Epstein files to be made public, saying “the truth can’t come soon enough” to help clear his name.
“Release the Epstein files. All of them,” Spacey said, admitting that he once flew on Epstein’s “Lolita Express” jet and posed on a Buckingham Palace throne with the pedophile’s madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.
“For those of us with nothing to fear, the truth can’t come soon enough. I hate to make this about me—but the media already has,” Spacey added.
Spacey previously addressed his relationship with Epstein and the pedophile’s mistress, Maxwell, whom he was seen with in 2002 in the throne room at Buckingham Palace after being supposedly brought there by notorious Epstein accomplice Prince Andrew.
He said he had never seen the couple until they came to London with President Bill Clinton on Epstein’s private plane following a charity event in Africa with “young girls.”
Spacey further added that on their trip to Africa, Clinton was put “at risk” because there were allegedly many young girls around.
“I didn’t want to be around this guy because I felt he put the President at risk on that trip to South Africa because there were these young girls and we were like what who is this guy?” Spacey told Piers Morgan.
“I didn’t know him. I have never spent any time with him. I was with the Clinton Foundation people, that’s who I was with,” Spacey added.
“This Maxwell woman, she was one of many people to sit down next to me in that throne room. I have no relationship with her. I had no relationship with him. I mean he’s not my friend. I am not a confidant. I’ve never spent time with him,” he continued.
Spacey confirmed that there were “young girls” on board the plane, but claimed he never visited Epstein’s island.
WATCH:
The Wall Street Journal reported last week that former President Bill Clinton was among several individuals who sent birthday wishes to convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003.
Clinton’s name has surfaced multiple times in connection with Epstein, who died in prison six years ago. Public reports have released related documents and testimony, naming Clinton among several high-profile figures in court filings last year.
Clinton’s name also appears on flight logs for a private jet owned by Epstein, which made several trips between 2002 and 2003, according to reports; however, there have been no reports or evidence indicating that Clinton was involved in Epstein’s sex crimes.
“In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein’s airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation,” Clinton spokesman Angel Urena said in 2019.
According to the Journal, Clinton’s note to Epstein was written in the former president’s “distinctive scrawl.”
“It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and [illegible word], and also to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends,” the letter reportedly said.
In a May 2016 deposition, Johanna Sjoberg—one of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged victims—was questioned about former President Bill Clinton.
Sjoberg has stated that she was involved in Epstein’s circle between 2001 and 2006.
“[Epstein] said one time that Clinton likes them young, referring to girls,” Sjoberg testified during the deposition, per Newsweek.
A spokesperson for Clinton declined to comment on the birthday message cited by the Wall Street Journal, instead pointing to a prior statement asserting that the former president had severed ties with Epstein more than a decade before the financier’s 2019 arrest and had no knowledge of his crimes.
Thursday’s report follows a Journal article published last week detailing a separate birthday letter allegedly written by Trump for Epstein’s 50th birthday.
Trump has vehemently denied writing the note and stated that he never creates drawings when writing letters. He has also filed a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit against the Journal and its owner, Rupert Murdoch.
