Documented · occurred What these labels mean →Court-released flight logs show a set of Epstein flights in Africa in September 2002, with a landing in Dubai (that detail sourced to GoLocalProv's reading of the logs only), listing Bill Clinton, Ira Magaziner, Naomi Campbell, Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker. In Ghislaine Maxwell's 2016 deposition (unsealed 2024), counsel read a log entry listing 'President Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Jeffrey Epstein and the initials GM' for 21 to 27 September 2002; Maxwell said she did not remember the dates but remembered the trip. Contemporaneous coverage places Clinton, Spacey and Tucker in Africa that week: News24 (25 Sept 2002) reported Clinton 'travelling through Africa, accompanied by actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker', having visited Ghana, Nigeria and Rwanda, and IOL (27 Sept 2002) reported Spacey and Tucker with him at the University of the Western Cape. Clinton's spokesman Angel Ureña said in July 2019 that Clinton took four trips on Epstein's plane in 2002 and 2003, 'two to Africa', with Clinton Foundation stops; the statement does not date either Africa trip.
