BILL'S FEARS

Bill Clinton ‘petrified Hillary will divorce him amid claims he visited Epstein’s orgy island’, lifelong pal reveals

BILL Clinton is "petrified" that wife Hillary will divorce him amid claims he visited pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's orgy island, a close friend of the couple has revealed.

The former US president thinks Hillary may leave him because "she doesn't need him anymore" now she's not running for office - and any further embarrassing allegations could be the "final straw", the lifelong pal of both Clintons added.

The source also claimed Hillary used to have somebody reporting into her on Bill's whereabouts when she lived in Washington D.C. and he lived in New York in the early 2000s.

"Now Hillary is no longer running for office of any kind - what Bill is worried about is that she has no reason to stay with him," the friend said.

"He's petrified she will leave him. He just sits at home, he's in poor health, watching TV around the clock.

"Hillary has all the money she needs, she's busy with her new podcast - she doesn't really need him for anything.

"Since the Monica Lewinsky scandal, there's been many allegations of womanizing leveled at Bill, but he's never really commented on any of them until the claims about visiting Epstein's island.

"He felt he had to issue a strong denial of this because he thinks Hillary might leave him. This one really worries him because of the attention it's getting and of course because of Epstein's links with underage girls.

"He's afraid if there are any further embarrassing allegations it could be the final straw. "

Bill issued a strong denial that he had ever visited Epstein's private Caribbean island - Little St James - back in August.

However longtime Clinton aide Doug Band claimed on Wednesday that Bill had indeed visited the island in January 2003 in a interview.

While Bill is listed as traveling on private jet numerous times, a Clinton spokesperson told the publication again that the president had never been to the island and provided detailed travelogue entries for the time period.

According to the close friend, Bill issued the strong denial because Hillary is hoping to obtain a position of some kind in the Biden administration so does not want any more negative allegations.

"Hillary is hoping to do something in the Biden administration and does not need this right now," the source said.

"I don't think her being married or not would make a difference to getting a position there, so it could be easier to just step away.

"Allegations of womanizing have been a constant in their marriage and Hillary has always put up to it but only to an extent.

"After she was elected to the Senate and moved to Washington in early 2001 with her mother, leaving Bill at home, she had someone in New York available to her 24 hours a day to report to her on Bill's whereabouts.

"There has been talk of divorce - through the Monica scandal, through all these things, of course there was, but there never could be a divorce. Now there could.

"I don't think she will at this stage, but Bill certainly thinks it is a possibility.
