Former US President Bill Clinton spends vacation with California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom amid renewed Jeffrey Epstein list’s scrutiny.
Odd Pair Ends Up On Vacation Together
As former President Bill Clinton and Hillary faced renewed scrutiny over his ties to the late notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, he was seen enjoying a vacation with California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom at a lavish resort in Mexico last week.
The former president, 77, has been in Latin America since the unsealing of the Jeffrey Epstein documents began, on January 3. He is named multiple times in the court papers – and although he is not accused of any wrongdoing, the documents shine an unwelcome spotlight on his friendship with the late pedophile financier.
Eyewitnesses tell us Gavin joined Bill and his wife, Hillary Clinton, for dinner on Thursday … sitting around the table for 3 hours, with everyone in great spirits.
Before traveling to Tamarindo, Clinton was spotted strolling through the streets of the popular tourist town of San Miguel de Allende, in Guanajuato – 500 miles inland from the beach resort.
Bill and Hillary grabbed breakfast together the next day, too — as part of their south-of-the-border getaway.
Bill was apparently staying in a villa that could only be reached by private footpath, but the US Secret Service made sure other guests couldn’t get close to that spot, according to the witness.
The secluded hotel, where rooms are $800 a night, is set among a 3,000-acre nature reserve and has six miles of private beach. It also boasts a spa, golf course and ranch where much of the food for the restaurant is grown and raised.
Emails to the Clinton Foundation and the California governor’s office about the pair of Democrats spending time together were not immediately returned Monday evening.
The city’s mayor, Mauricio Trejo Pureco, praised Clinton’s visit on social media.
“Even Bill Clinton walks calmly and safely through the streets of San Miguel de Allende, enjoying its unique beauty and kindness of the people of San Miguel de Allende,” he posted on X (formerly Twitter).
Clinton’s vacation coincided with the release of court documents related to Epstein, the notorious sex offender who died in jail in 2019. Clinton was not accused of any wrongdoing or illegal activity in the documents.
However, one of the documents contained a 2016 testimony from Johanna Sjoberg, an Epstein victim, who claimed that Epstein said Clinton “likes them young” — referring to his taste in women.
Clinton has acknowledged that he flew on Epstein’s private jet several times, but he has vehemently denied any knowledge of Epstein’s heinous crimes.
Clinton and Newsom have been on good terms for a long time. Newsom congratulated Clinton on his 70th birthday in 2016, expressing his gratitude for his leadership and friendship.
Newsom also spoke at a Clinton Global Initiative 2022 event that focused on addressing climate change.
