What happens in a $20,000-a-night suite doesn’t always stay there — especially when there’s a hot tub, a private jet nicknamed the “Lolita Express,” and some very familiar names in the guest list.The infamous picture of Bill Clinton in a hot tub with a mystery woman is from a 2002 trip to Asia that the ex-President took with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and madam Ghislaine Maxwell, New York Post revealed.
Clinton was grilled on the racy photo during his deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Friday, insisting he did “nothing wrong” and did not have sex with the woman whose face was redacted in the picture released as part of the Department of Justice’s files on the sex predator.The snap that landed Bubba in hot water was taken at the Emperor Suite of the Empire Hotel in Brunei in 2002 — a $20,000-a-night palatial suite with a private lift, pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, and theatre, a Post analysis found.Clinton visited the oil-rich Southeast Asian country 1 year after he left office, as part of a trip related to work for the Clinton Foundation, the organisation he founded after he left the presidency, it was said at the time.According to flight logs made public in court proceedings, he travelled on Epstein’s private sex jet, the Lolita Express, to Brunei in May 2002.The flight entries show the Lolita Express — with Epstein, Maxwell, and associate Sarah Kellen on board — picked up Clinton at a US naval air base in Japan on May 22, 2002, along with his chief adviser Doug Band, someone named Mike, and 2 women whose names were only listed as “Janice” and “Jessica”.The gang stopped in Hong Kong for an evening, then Shenzhen, China, for 2 nights, before landing in Brunei’s capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, on May 25.Clinton played golf and had dinner with Brunei Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah — a creep who was accused of hosting sex parties with underage girls and who donated between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton presidential library through the foundation.The same night Clinton took his dip in the jacuzzi, he was also seen with Maxwell and the mystery woman in a pool, while a game of golf played on a big screen.Meanwhile, Epstein was photographed sitting at the piano in sweatpants.The complete photo set, which was part of one of the Department of Justice’s file dumps, shows the hot tub and the pool were part of the same area.Clinton denied knowing who the woman was in testimony to the House Oversight Committee this week, a source said. The former President also repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
