Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime butler, Valdson Vieira Cotrin, is speaking publicly for the first time since Epstein’s 2019 death in a New York jail, and his revelations are raising questions—especially about former President Bill Clinton. In an interview with The Telegraph, Cotrin recalled meeting Clinton in Paris when he arrived at Le Bourget airport to pick up Epstein, who had just flown in with Clinton aboard his private jet. At the time, Clinton praised Epstein as a “highly successful financier and a committed philanthropist.”

Cotrin, who worked for Epstein for 18 years, said he was “trembling” when he met Clinton, assuming he’d be meeting then-President George W. Bush instead. He also cast doubt on the official story of Epstein’s death, saying Epstein “loved life too much” to have taken his own life while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.

Last week, both Bill and Hillary Clinton were subpoenaed to testify in a growing congressional investigation into Epstein. Flight logs show Clinton took as many as 26 trips aboard Epstein’s private jet between 2001 and 2003. One high-profile 2002 trip to London included Clinton, Epstein, actor Kevin Spacey, and Ghislaine Maxwell, with a visit hosted by Prince Andrew at Buckingham Palace.

Cotrin described Epstein’s lifestyle at the time as a “merry-go-round” of young women, noting that “two arrived and two left every day.” He also mentioned that a photograph of himself with Clinton aboard Epstein’s plane still hangs in his home in France.

Meanwhile, a subpoena alleges that Clinton was photographed receiving a massage from one of Epstein’s alleged victims—an image that has circulated online for years. While Clinton has consistently denied any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities, their longstanding association, including financial donations and shared travel, continues to draw scrutiny.
