Former President Bill Clinton told House Oversight Committee members that Illinois Governor and major Wisconsin Democratic Party donor J.B. Pritzker accompanied him on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane, dubbed “The Lolita Express” due to its connection to Epstein’s sex crimes.
“I think that I had my first trip for the man who’s now the Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker and his wife. They helped me get started,” Clinton admitted to Wisconsin Congressman Glenn Grothman during closed-door testimony before the Oversight Committee.
Pritzker has not been formally accused of any wrongdoing in connection with his relationship with Epstein. He is the second major donor to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin to come under scrutiny for Epstein ties after LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman was revealed to have traveled to Epstein’s private island and his ranch in New Mexico.
Hoffman is the single largest donor to the Wisconsin Democratic Party since 2019, giving an estimated $15 million. Democrats have thus far refused repeated calls to return this money over Hoffman’s ties to Epstein.
Prtizker has given the Wisconsin Democratic Party an estimated $7 million in recent years, most notably a $1.5 million donation during left-wing Supreme Court Justice Susan Crawford’s campaign in 2025.
