Hillary Clinton is "furious" at husband Bill Clinton after his name was involved in Jeffrey Epstein's sex scandal

Sources revealed that, at the funeral of Mario Cuomo, the 67-year-old angrily "storm" past the former president after he dutifully waited for her by the door of St. Ignatius Loyola Church, the New York Post reported.

The68-year-old politician's name has popped up in 2011 court documents relating to Epstein after a woman said to be Virginia Roberts filed a bombshell suit alleging she was Epstein's teen "sex slave" and paid 15,000 dollars to bed Epstein's pal, Britain's Prince Andrew.

The 2011 court docs reveal that 21 e-mail -addresses and phone numbers for Bill and an aide were found in Epstein's electronic black book, and that Bill "frequently flew" with Epstein on his private plane from 2002 to 2005.

 

But the papers stated that he then suddenly stopped, raising the suspicion that the friendship abruptly ended, perhaps because of events related to Epstein's sexual abuse of children.

The 2011 court records also revealed that lawyers for two of Epstein's alleged victims were considering subpoenaing Bill in a civil case against Epstein. But he was not deposed.
