Former Clinton Aide Appears Before House Panel in Epstein Investigation
Doug Band told investigators he had no evidence Clinton visited Epstein’s island after previously saying otherwise, according to sources familiar with the interview.
- On Tuesday, Doug Band, a former aide to President Bill Clinton, testified before the House Oversight Committee as the 17th person questioned in its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
- In a 2020 Vanity Fair interview, Band claimed President Clinton visited Epstein's private island after Band said he tried to push the former president out of Epstein's orbit following a 2002 trip aboard the Lolita Express.
- During his closed-door testimony, Band amended that assertion, stating he had no evidence President Clinton visited the island and could not recall why he previously told Vanity Fair that he did.
- House Oversight Chair James Comer told reporters Band's communications with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence, would "obviously be a question" for the committee.
- The Justice Department's release of Epstein case files earlier this year included dozens of mentions of Band and communications with Maxwell, as the committee continues its probe following depositions of President Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
