Washington (CNN) Former President Bill Clinton's spokesman said Monday that Clinton "knows nothing" about Jeffrey Epstein's "terrible crimes," after the multi-millionaire was accused by federal prosecutors of running a sex trafficking ring where he paid girls as young as 14 to have sex with him.

"President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York," Clinton's spokesman, Angel Ureña, said in a statement posted to Twitter.

Ureña went on to give what he said was a summary of Clinton's experiences with Epstein.

"In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane: one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation," the statement continues, noting staff, supporters of the foundation and Clinton's Secret Service detail traveled with the former President.

"He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein's New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail," the statement reads.
