Clinton is one of a string of rich and famous people feeling the heat over their associations with the disgraced financier.
He has always denied any wrongdoing in his relationship with Epstein, recently blasting allegations he went to Epstein’s island Little Saint James as “lies”.
Liberal comedian Maher – who endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 – insisted its “possible” that the former president had visited “pedo island”.
Maher said: “Now, Bill Clinton. People are saying that there are witnesses who saw him on Jeffrey Epstein’s sex island. Obviously, it’s denied.”
Begala, who served as a White House aide under Clinton, shook his head during the clash on Real Time.
He said: “You shake your head like, ‘Oh that’s impossible! Bill Clinton, a horny guy, on sex island? Ridiculous’.”
“Look, it’s possible.”
Witnesses claim that Clinton was seen on the island with Epstein – including victim Virginia Roberts saying he was there along with “two girls from New York”.
Maher argued that Bill and Hillary should stay out of Democratic campaign as Joe Biden prepares to take on Donald Trump for the presidency in November.
He said the couple will be “huge distractions” for the party amid reports they will both participate in the Democrats’ convention which kicks off on August 17.
Maher said: “My question is, you know, [Clinton] has assets and he has … things that are not quite assets.
“And same with Hillary. What do the Democrats — what should they do?”
Begala however piled praise on his former boss, who was in the Oval Office from 1993 to 2001.
He said: “Bill Clinton has credibility on the economy, which is the one issue holding Trump up right now. It is still holding him up.
“I guess people saw him portray a CEO on a cardboard set for 14 years on NBC because they feel like he’s a businessman.
“Bill Clinton can puncture that. And if it were me, that’s what I would send him out to do.”
Scrutiny over Clinton’s alleged links to Epstein have resurfaced as hundreds of pages of documents were unsealed by a judge.
They are part of the case against Maxwell over her alleged involvement in Epstein’s child sex abuse scheme.
Clinton’s office has previously said the former President knew “nothing about the terrible crimes” committed by Epstein.
Epstein victim Virginia claimed that the billionaire said that Clinton owed him “favors” while talking to her lawyers in 2011.
There is absolutely no evidence to suggest Mr Clinton is in anyway linked to the underage sex investigation.
Clinton’s office have previously said he never went to Little Saint James, Epstein’s ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida.
They have said Clinton had not spoken to Epstein for “well over a decade” at the time of his suicide last August.
President Donald Trump – who also has links to Epstein, but is not suggested of any wrongdoing – has previously cast doubt over his predecessor’s claims he hadn’t visited Little Saint James.
Speaking in August 2019, the President said: “The question you have to ask is, did Bill Clinton go to the island?”
Mr Clinton’s office have admitted he took four trips on Epstein’s private plane – dubbed the Lolita Express – as he took one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa.
However, logs obtained by Fox News allegedly show Clinton took at least 26 trips aboard Epstein’s Boeing 727 from 2001 to 2003.
Mr Clinton was also pictured posing side-by-side with Maxwell as the pair boarded the notorious private jet in a never-before-seen picture revealed by The Sun.
Other images show him with his arm around Epstein’s personal masseuse and sex slave Chauntae Davies, while in another he is seen playing cards and chomping on a cigar aboard the jet.

Speaking in January, Ms Davies, now 40, said: “It’s clear that Epstein was using this private jet and his wealth to get close to rich and powerful people.
“Looking back at these images now it raises a lot of questions about why Bill Clinton was using the plane and what perhaps Jeffrey may have been trying to accomplish by having him around.”
Earlier this year, Mr Clinton’s spokeswoman Angel Urena responded the claims that the former president had been to “pedo island”.
She said: “This was a lie the first time it was told, and it isn’t true today, no matter how many times it’s repeated.”
