This isn’t ‘newly leaked’ audio from an Epstein victim about the Clintons. It’s AI

A viral audio clip claims to reveal a victim’s testimony of abuse by former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, on an island owned by sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

This audio clip is not real. It was generated with artificial intelligence.

Hillary Clinton testified Feb. 26 before the House Oversight Committee as part of a probe into Epstein. Bill Clinton is expected to testify Feb. 27. Neither Clinton has been accused of wrongdoing or charged with a crime in connection to Epstein’s offenses.

A Feb. 24 TikTok shows an image of Epstein with Bill Clinton and plays an audio clip of what the post calls a "survivor."

"You want the truth about who spent the most time on that island? Fine, I'll give it to you straight, no filter. The former president. You know exactly which one. Yeah, Clinton. The survivors still call him number one," the narrator said.

Other Instagram and Facebook users also shared the audio clip. One post claimed it was the voice of Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre, who died in April 2025. 

In her Feb. 26 opening statement before the House Oversight Committee, Hillary Clinton said, "I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island, homes or offices."

Detection models, experts say the audio is AI-generated

We traced the audio to The People’s Voice, a frequent source of misinformation. It published a video in November that it said included a "newly leaked recording" from Giuffre. 

The People’s Voice also recently published an AI-generated audio of a supposed "whistleblower" talking about television host Ellen DeGeneres, claiming the Epstein files exposed her as a cannibal. We rated that claim Pants on Fire.

We used the DeepFake-O-Meter, developed by the University at Buffalo Media Forensics Lab, to analyze the audio clip about the Clintons. Results from four out of five detection models showed it was likely AI-generated.

When we uploaded the audio clip to the AI speech classifier from ElevenLabs — a company that specializes in AI audio generation — it said, "it's very likely that this audio was generated with ElevenLabs."

We also asked multiple experts to analyze the audio, and they said it was AI-generated. V.S. Subrahmanian, a Northwestern University computer science professor, and Marco Postiglione, a postdoctoral researcher who works with him, used 83 deepfake detection algorithms to analyze the audio. Sixty-seven found the audio was more likely to be fake than real.

Subrahmanian and Postiglione also pointed to other signs of AI generation, including that the narrative seems "structured like written prose rather than spontaneous speech."

Siwei Lyu, a University at Buffalo computer science and engineering professor, said the audio included a 13-second segment without audible breath intakes. "Each sentence also ends with an abrupt cut to silence rather than fading out naturally, missing the subtle room tone and vocal decay you'd expect from a genuine recording," he said.

The voice’s pitch and delivery are also flat, said Hafiz Malik, University of Michigan – Dearborn electrical and computer engineering professor. He said it’s not likely for a human to speak for two minutes at the same rate without taking any pauses, like the voice in the audio clip does.

The audio clip includes claims about the Clintons’ actions on Epstein’s island, Little Saint James in the U.S. Virgin Islands, including physical and verbal abuse of Epstein victims. 

We found no verified reports of such anecdotes from Giuffre or other Epstein victims about the Clintons.  

Did Giuffre say something about the Clintons?

Giuffre’s memoir, "Nobody’s Girl," published posthumously in 2025, mentioned that she was present when Epstein hosted Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore for dinner on separate occasions. She also talked about a time in 2022 when Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane, but Giuffre didn’t go with them. She noted that Clinton has said the trip was a humanitarian mission.

Giuffre also referred to a 2011 article that said she "had never been ‘lent out’" to the former president, referring to Bill Clinton. 

The book doesn’t mention Hillary Clinton.

We found no evidence that audio from Giuffre was released after her death. On April 29, 2025, her family released a photo of one of Giuffre’s handwritten journal entries where she said she stood with survivors and encouraged them to fight for their rights. 

This audio clip that posts say is an Epstein victim talking about abuse by the Clintons is fake. We rate it Pants on Fire!
