UNITED STATES Vice-President Kamala Harris will host an event on empowering women with former president Bill Clinton despite his association with Jeffrey Epstein and accusations of rape and sexual assault.

Mr Clinton has faced allegations from multiple women spanning decades. He was also a close associate of convicted paedophile and sex-trafficking billionaire Epstein. 

The former US leader has remained largely silent regarding the flights that he took on Epstein’s private jet, which reportedly offered passengers young girls for sex.
