Well, this is awkward.
Just hours before Bill Clinton, the former president, was slated to give a speech during the Democratic National Convention vouching for Joe Biden, a years-old photo emerged of Clinton at an airport receiving a shoulder massage from one of Jeffery Epstein’s victims, a report said.

The photo would be embarrassing for any adult male, let alone a former president who admitted to an inappropriate relationship with an intern and faced a rape allegation.

The Daily Mail reported that the ex-president, who was 56 at the time of the photo, grinned “with pleasure as he enjoys an intimate neck massage” from the woman, identified as Chauntae Davies, who was 22 at the time of the photo. The paper reported that Davies claimed that she was raped by Epstein after she was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell.
The paper said that the photo was taken in 2002 during a flight to Africa on the Lolita Express, Epstein’s infamous private jet. Clinton reportedly asked the woman during a refueling layover if she wouldn’t mind to give it a crack.
Davies called Clinton “charming and sweet”
“Although the image looks bizarre, President Clinton was a perfect gentleman during the trip and I saw absolutely no foul play involving him,” she said.
It was recently revealed in court documents that Clinton allegedly stayed on Epstein’s private island and Epstein used to claim that Clinton owed him favors. Clinton, through spokespeople, has long denied any innuendo suggesting that the president was involved in or knew about Epstein’s crimes.

The paper reported that Clinton’s office claimed that the former president took four trips with Epstein from 2002 to 2003, but, citing flight logs, reported that Clinton took at least 26 “individual flights in the course of those years.”
Clinton’s reps have long insisted that the ex-president has always been in the company of secret service agents.

The Mail reported that Davies said earlier this year that Epstein used his private jet “and his wealth to get close to rich and powerful people. Looking back at these images now it raises a lot of questions about why Bill Clinton was using the plane and what perhaps Jeffrey may have been trying to accomplish by having him around.”
