She also said in court papers that one of the financier’s associates, Ghislaine Maxwell, had instructed her to have sex with at least a half-dozen prominent men.

Giuffre has stressed that she was never ‘lent out’ to the former president, though she has stated that she saw Clinton on Epstein’s infamous ‘orgy island’ – a claim that he has denied. 

When asked to comment on Giuffre’s tweet, a spokesperson for the Clinton Foundation told DailyMail.com: ‘For 20 years under the direction of President Clinton, the Clinton Foundation has worked to empower girls and women around the world. 

‘The Clinton Global Initiative has launched thousands of commitments to improve lives: empowering more than 13 million girls and women through job and leadership training; improving maternal and child health care access for more than 114 million people; and increasing opportunity for women in STEM education and careers.’ 

EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS AND ALLEGATIONS OF RAPE: A HISTORY OF BILL CLINTON SEX SCANDALS

Monica Lewinsky is pictured above in New York in October 2019. Then-President Bill Clinton had an affair with the former White House intern when she was just 22 years old

Bill Clinton has long been dogged by allegations of womanizing, extramarital affairs and abuse. 

During his 1992 presidential campaign, Betsey Wright, a longtime aide to the Clinton, dubbed the problems ‘bimbo eruptions,’ a label that appeared aimed at discrediting them.

But the most damaging episode was his relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

The two met in 1995 when she was a 22-year-old intern and she later revealed they had a series of sexual encounters over a roughly 18-month period.

Clinton initially denied the relationship, but eventually admitted it and said he ‘misled people, including even my wife.’

The president was impeached over the episode, accused of obstruction and perjury, and acquitted by the Senate.

In a 2018 article for Vanity Fair, Lewinsky wrote she came to the realization that her relationship with Clinton ‘constituted a gross abuse of power.’ 

This is a profound shift from the position she took in a June 2014 piece for the same magazine.

Juanita Broaddrick, a nurse, in 1999 claimed she was raped by then-state Attorney General Clinton at a Little Rock hotel in 1978. Clinton’s attorney denied the claim at the time and Clinton was never charged

‘Sure my boss took advantage of me, but I will always remain firm on this point: it was a consensual relationship,’ Lewinsky wrote in 2014. 

‘Any “abuse” came in the aftermath, when I was made a scapegoat in order to protect his powerful position.’

Lewinsky said in 2018 that she saw her relationship with Clinton was full of ‘inappropriate abuse of authority, station, and privilege.’

‘Now, at 44, I’m beginning (just beginning) to consider the implications of the power differentials that were so vast between a president and a White House intern,’ she wrote. 

‘I’m beginning to entertain the notion that in such a circumstance the idea of consent might well be rendered moot.’

Lewinsky says the fallout from her relationship with Clinton left her with post-traumatic stress disorder and that in light of her trauma, she might never have changed her thinking on the subject were it not for the #MeToo movement and society’s sudden reckoning with issues of sexual misconduct.

Lewinsky credits the #MeToo movement, ‘not only because of the new lens it has provided but also because of how it has offered new avenues toward the safety that comes from solidarity.’

‘I – we – owe a huge debt of gratitude to the #MeToo and Time’s Up heroines,’ Lewinsky wrote. 

‘They are speaking volumes against the pernicious conspiracies of silence that have long protected powerful men when it comes to sexual assault, sexual harassment, and abuse of power.’ 

In 1998, Clinton agreed to an $850,000 settlement with Paula Jones (pictured in October 2016), an Arkansas state worker who had accused Clinton of exposing himself and making indecent propositions when Clinton was governor. The settlement included no apology or admission of guilt

Lewinsky is not the only relationship baggage for Clinton. 

In 1998, he agreed to an $850,000 settlement with Paula Jones, an Arkansas state worker who had accused Clinton of exposing himself and making indecent propositions when Clinton was governor. 

The settlement included no apology or admission of guilt.

Juanita Broaddrick, a nurse, in 1999 claimed she was raped by then-state Attorney General Clinton at a Little Rock hotel in 1978. 

Clinton’s attorney denied the claim at the time and Clinton was never charged.

Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, claimed Clinton fondled her when she met privately with him at the White House in 1993 to seek a job. 

Clinton has denied the allegations by both women.

Gennifer Flowers claimed during Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign that she had a 12-year affair with him while he was governor of Arkansas.

Clinton has denied Flowers’ claims. 

In October 2016, former Arkansas television reporter Leslie Millwee came forward to Breitbart News and accused Clinton of sexually assaulting her three times in 1980.

Millwee, who went by the name Leslie Derrick back then, says Clinton, then the governor of Arkansas, slipped into her television station’s small editing room and groped her from behind while she was seated, ‘hunching’ her chair to the point of orgasm.

‘I could feel what he was doing from behind me. I do not know if he had taken, you know, private parts out. Or if he was doing it. I assumed he was doing it through material but I could be wrong,’ she said. 

Millwee said Clinton did this on three occasions and also stopped by to see her at home. 

She said she interviewed the Arkansas governor about 20 times the year that she worked at the now-defunct television station KLMN-TV, as she was covering the Cuban refugee crisis and 20,000 refugees called Arkansas’ Fort Chaffee home.

She was 19, turning 20, when she worked at the station.  

Clinton would be flirtatious, she said, when the two saw each other. 

‘Hey pretty girl. How are you today?’ he would say, she told Breitbart. 

He also gave her an autograph, she said, claiming that one day he would be president. 

He also wrote Clinton directly above her name on her reporter’s notebook. A picture of the signed notebook was included in the Breitbart piece. 

‘And I said, “What are you doing? Giving me an autograph now?” And he said, “No, I just wanted to show you how good Clinton looks on top of Leslie.”‘ 

In vetting Millwee’s claims, Breitbart News was unable to find footage of her interviews with Clinton from that era.

Giuffre was reacting to the announcement by the Clinton Foundation on Tuesday that Harris will join the former president; his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; and their daughter, Chelsea, for a virtual meeting that will discuss a range of issues, including ‘empowering women and girls in the US and around the world.’

The event, which will also be attended by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, will be staged in conjunction with Harris’ alma mater, Howard University.

The former president is scheduled to take part in a one-on-one discussion with Abrams on Wednesday as part of the opening plenary, which is titled: ‘Making Democracy Work: Restoring Trust and Expanding Participation.’

Bill Clinton and Harris will have a one-on-one conversation on Friday to discuss ‘the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women, and empowering women and girls in the US and around the world.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to the White House and the Clinton Foundation for comment on Giuffre’s tweet.

In testimony that was unsealed last year, Giuffre said that Bill Clinton (seen above in April 2019) visited Epstein's private island with 'two young girls from New York' and stayed in the billionaire's private villa

The news of Clinton’s discussion with Harris was met with ridicule online, including from one woman who claims the then-attorney general of Arkansas raped her in 1978.

‘Inviting Bill Clinton to speak on Empowering women…. is like asking Jeffrey Dahmer to host a cooking class,’ Juanita Broaddrick tweeted on Wednesday.

Journalist Krystal Ball tweeted sarcastically: ‘Noted champion of women and girls Bill Clinton.’

Dr. Victoria Dooley joked that Clinton and Harris would be ‘joined by several other guests known for their lifelong dedication to empowering women including: Louis C.K., Bill Cosby, Matt Lauer & Woody Allen.’

Louis C.K. is a comedian who was accused by several women of harassment and lewd conduct. Cosby is serving time in prison after he was convicted of drugging and raping a woman.

Lauer, the former NBC TODAY co-host, was accused of sexual misconduct in the workplace by female colleagues.

Allen, the iconic filmmaker, has been accused of sexual molestation by his adopted daughter, who alleges the abuse took place when she was seven years old. He has denied the allegations.

Jenna Ellis, former attorney for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, tweeted: ‘Maybe Bill Clinton isn’t the best person to talk about empowering women and girls in the US? Just a thought.’

Tara Reade, who accused President Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in the 1990s, tweeted: ‘The most amazing thing about the elite Democrats is both the hypocrisy and arrogance wrapped in lack of self awareness. 

‘Bill Clinton is going to discuss girls and women with Kamala Harris Friday… Really? Seriously?’

‘Did anyone ask Paula Jones (he settled her sexual harassment suit for nearly $1M), Juanita Broaddrick or Kathleen Willey for comment?’

Broaddrick, a former Arkansas nursing home administrator, first claimed more than 20 years ago that Bill Clinton raped her during a meeting in Little Rock in 1978. 

She sued Bill Clinton in 1999; the case was dismissed in 2001. 

A Twitter account that claimed to be that of Broaddrick revived the allegations during Trump’s successful candidacy for president in 2016. 

Bill Clinton has long denied her account.

Jones, a former Arkansas state worker, alleged in 1991 that Bill Clinton propositioned and exposed himself to her. 

In 1994, she filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him. Bill Clinton’s lawyers tried to have the suit dismissed. 

In November 1998, he paid Jones $850,000 to settle the case without apologizing or acknowledging culpability.

Clinton denied during the 1998 deposition for the Jones lawsuit that he had ‘sexual relations’ with a White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. 

Lewinsky was 22 when she worked as a White House intern in summer 1995. That November she and Clinton began their affair, which continued after she was hired for a West Wing job. 

Clinton’s denial became central to an article of impeachment charging perjury. A second article charging obstruction of justice stemmed from allegations of encouraging perjury by witnesses and other wrongful actions.

The House impeached Clinton in December 1998. After a five-week trial in the Senate, senators rejected both articles on February 12, 1999.

Kathleen Willey, a former White House volunteer, accused Bill Clinton of forcing himself on her in 1993. 

He denied her charge and an independent prosecutor later concluded there was no evidence to doubt that denial. 

Clinton traveled numerous times on the Epstein’s private jet, the Lolita Express, socialized with his alleged madame, Maxwell, and faced a slew of sexual misconduct accusations himself during his years in public life.

Epstein was previously accused of using his private plane to transport underage girls to his various luxury homes in New York, Palm Beach, New Mexico and even Paris.

American dignitaries and rich and powerful figures also traveled on the jet.

Clinton’s office previously issued a statement in regards to his travels on the plane and denied knowing anything about the financier’s crimes.

His team said he had only taken four trips with him in 2002 and 2003 – although flight logs showed he had taken a total of at least 26 individual flights in the course of those years.

‘President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has previously been charged in New York,’ a 2019 statement from the former president’s office read.

‘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 Clinton Foundation.

‘Staff, supporters of the Foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg or every trip.’

She has also alleged she had sex with Prince Andrew at the age of 17 while being trafficked by Epstein.

Prince Andrew has strenuously denied the claims.

He was pictured with his arm around the then 17-year-old’s waist at the home of Maxwell in London in 2001.

Despite Clinton’s reputation as a notorious womanizer, no-one has ever before publicly accused the former president of misbehaving with any of the young women that surrounded Epstein. 

Last year, court papers ordered released by a judge include testimony from Giuffre who said that she once saw Clinton as he ‘strolled into the darkness’ with two girls while staying on Epstein’s island.

Giuffre’s claim comes in just two single lines in her proposal for a book to be called The Billionaire’s Playboy Club, when she describes how she was on the island with Epstein and his alleged madam, Maxwell.

‘Jeffrey wanted his evening massage […] leaving our guest of honor to find company elsewhere,’ Giuffre writes.

‘Strolling into the darkness with two beautiful girls around either arm, Bill seemed content to retire for the evening.’

Giuffre says the women were ‘two lovely girls who were visiting from New York,’ but does not identify them. She said they sat next to the former president at dinner.

‘Bill’s wife, Hillary’s absence from the night made it easy for his apparent provocative cheeky side to come out,’ Giuffre wrote.

‘Teasing the girls on either side of him with playful pokes and brassy comments, there was no modesty between any of them.’

Clinton stayed in a villa on the billionaire pedophile’s private Caribbean island because he owed him ‘a favor’, Giuffre told investigators in the newly unsealed documents.

In nine-year-old testimony that was only made public for the first time last year, Giuffre said Clinton visited the private Caribbean island of Little Saint James some time after his presidency ended in 2001.

The nine-year-old testimony was revealed in a tranche of court documents that were unsealed after Epstein's alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell (pictured together) was arrested and charged with procuring young girls for sex with the pedophile

Giuffre told investigators that she, Maxwell and two other ‘young girls’ from New York were also on the island at the time.

When Giuffre asked Epstein what Clinton was doing on the island, she claims he laughed and said: ‘He owes me a favor.’

‘He never told me what favors they were. I never knew. I didn’t know if he was serious. It was just a joke,’ she said.

The former president has repeatedly denied ever visiting Epstein’s island in the Caribbean. 

He has also always maintained he knew nothing of Epstein’s abuse of young girls. 

His spokesman said that Clinton has ‘never been to Little St. James Island’. 

He added: ‘He’d not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade. Well before his terrible crimes came to light.’   

Meanwhile, a federal judge on Monday rejected Maxwell’s third request for bail, after the British socialite had offered to renounce her British and French citizenships if she were freed. 

US District Judge Alison Nathan in Manhattan said Maxwell remained a ‘significant risk of flight’ and that no conditions, including her proposed $28.5million bail package, would reasonably assure she would show up in court.

Maxwell, 59, has pleaded not guilty to charges she helped Epstein recruit and groom three teenage girls for sex between 1994 and 1997, and lied about her role.

She has been held in a Brooklyn jail since her arrest last July, which came 11 months after Epstein died in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Lawyers for Maxwell did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

After Nathan rejected two prior bail requests, Maxwell on February 23 offered to renounce her non-US citizenships, and move most of her and her husband’s assets into an account to be monitored by a retired federal judge.

Her lawyers said Maxwell wanted to defend herself at trial, and the new conditions should assuage concern she might seek a ‘safe haven’ in the United Kingdom or France.

But the judge said Maxwell could still resist extradition if she fled, and even with the monitor still had access to ‘sufficient’ assets to help her evade prosecution.

Nathan is also considering 12 motions by Maxwell to dismiss, narrow or weaken the government’s criminal case.

Maxwell has said the government targeted her only because Epstein killed himself and prosecutors wanted someone else to blame, and that she was covered by Epstein’s own 2008 non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors in Florida.

Her trial is scheduled for July.
