Doug Band Gives His Epstein Related Testimony To Congress (7/1/26)

Doug Band, once one of Bill Clinton’s closest aides and a key figure in Clinton’s post-presidential world, sat for a closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. According to sources familiar with the interview, Band repeatedly said he could not recall details about his interactions with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and related communications. Lawmakers pressed him on his past ties to both Epstein and Maxwell, including emails between Band and Maxwell from 2001 to 2004 that included personal nicknames, innuendo, and discussions of meetings. Band reportedly confirmed that an email address connected to Clinton in the Epstein files was his and that no one else had access to it, but said he did not remember sending specific emails to Maxwell. He also said he had no evidence or information that Clinton ever went to Epstein’s island, despite having told Vanity Fair in 2020 that Clinton had visited Little St. James.Band also reportedly told the committee that he took steps to shield Clinton from Maxwell once he became aware of allegations, denied any sexual contact with Maxwell, and said he did not remember being introduced to any woman or girl connected to her. He also said he did not recall conversations with Epstein during the flights he took with Clinton on Epstein’s private plane. Flight records made public in civil litigation show Clinton, often with Band and others, flew on Epstein’s plane more than two dozen times in 2002 and 2003, though ABC reports those logs do not show trips to Little St. James. Clinton, Maxwell, and Epstein have all denied that Clinton visited the island, and Clinton has denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. Band has not been accused of wrongdoing, and his voluntary interview was not recorded; the committee is expected to release transcripts after review and redaction.to contact me:[email protected]:Doug Band, former aide to Bill Clinton, repeatedly tells panel he cannot recall interactions with Epstein: Sources - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
