A controversial photograph of former President Bill Clinton in a hot tub with an unidentified woman has been identified as being taken during a 2002 Asia tour, when he traveled with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
This information was released after Mr. Clinton was questioned about the photo during a deposition before the U.S. House Oversight Committee. He maintained that he did nothing wrong and denied having sexual relations with the woman in the photo, whose face was redacted in documents released by the Department of Justice.
According to media analysis, the photo was taken at the Emperor Suite of the Empire Hotel in Brunei—a luxury suite costing approximately $20,000 per night, featuring a private pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and a cinema room.
Flight records released in court show that Mr. Clinton traveled to Brunei in May 2002 on Epstein's private jet, often referred to as the "Lolita Express." Flight logs recorded the presence of Epstein, Maxwell, and several other associates.
The trip took place about a year after Mr. Clinton left office and was reportedly related to Clinton Foundation activities.
On the same night the jacuzzi photo was taken, Mr. Clinton was also seen at the pool with Maxwell and the aforementioned woman. Other images in the document set show Epstein appearing in the same area.
Mr. Clinton stated to the Oversight Committee that he does not know the identity of the woman in the photo and continues to deny any wrongdoing.
