Newly released court documents have revealed more high-profile names that are linked to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Former US President Donald Trump is mentioned in the documents, but in the context that he never visited Epstein’s islands or houses. Meanwhile, former President Bill Clinton is said to have visited Epstein’s island, dubbed sex island, over 25 times. One mention even cites Clinton saying he liked the girls young.
The court documents, consisting of 327 pages of previously sealed files, were unsealed in a Manhattan federal court lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre against Epstein’s girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. The documents name several rich and famous public figures, including Clinton, former US Senator George Mitchell, and former US Ambassador and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
It is important to note that the mere mention of a celebrity’s name in the court documents does not imply their involvement in or knowledge of any wrongdoing by Epstein.
Some of the high-profile names that have emerged from the documents include Prince Andrew, Michael Jackson, Stephen Hawking, and Alan Dershowitz. The documents also reveal that Clinton had threatened Vanity Fair magazine back in 2011 not to publish anything negative about his good friend Epstein.
One of Epstein’s alleged victims, Virginia Giuffre, claims that she was forced to have sex with former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Giuffre mentions Richardson in the new documents, alleging that she had been told to give him a massage. Richardson’s spokesperson denied ever meeting Giuffre.
Former US Senator George Mitchell is also named in the documents as someone who abused Giuffre. However, Mitchell denies ever meeting her.
The records also mention Donald Trump four times, but he is not accused of any wrongdoing. Trump has socialized with Epstein in the past, but there is no evidence linking him to Epstein’s illegal activities.
The documents provide insight into the close relationship between Epstein and French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who committed suicide while awaiting trial on charges of raping minor girls. Brunel’s estate was recently sued by a woman who claimed that Brunel and others sexually assaulted her while she worked as a model in New York.
The records also name Leslie Wexner, the founder of Victoria’s Secret and other store chains. Epstein had managed Wexner’s money for years, but their relationship soured after Epstein was arrested and sentenced in 2006 for paying a minor girl for a sexual act.
Alan Dershowitz, a former Epstein attorney and retired Harvard University law professor, is mentioned around 100 times in the documents. Dershowitz has been accused by Giuffre of sexually abusing her in multiple locations, but he denies the allegations.
Overall, the newly released court documents shed light on the extent of Epstein’s connections to powerful and influential individuals. The records are part of an ongoing legal effort to bring justice to Epstein’s victims and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
