Attorneys for Virginia Giuffre, who accused sex offender Jeffrey Epstein of abusing her, sought in a 2015 defamation lawsuit against his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, all of her communications with former President Bill Clinton and his wife former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The Clintons were part of a list of “thirteen specific witnesses” with whom Ms. Giuffre’s attorneys sought their communications.
The document is part of dozens containing hundreds of pages of records that were released on Jan. 5, the latest tranche of evidence a judge ordered unsealed.
The 2015, defamation lawsuit was settled in 2017. Ms. Maxwell is currently serving time in a Florida prison for conspiring with Mr. Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls.
Ms. Giuffre, who in 2011 alleged that President Clinton had a “close personal relationship” with Ms. Maxwell and Mr. Epstein, tried unsuccessfully to have President Clinton deposed, according to an unsealed filing.
A document in the latest (third) batch also mentions President Clinton in the context of document and photograph requests as part of the lawsuit against Ms. Maxwell.
With the release of the latest batch, all three Clintons are now named in Epstein documents, though none of them has been accused of any wrongdoing.
A spokesperson for President Clinton confirmed in 2019 that the former president had flown in Mr. Epstein’s private plane but that he knew nothing about the sex offender’s “terrible crimes.”
The Epoch Times contacted the Clinton Foundation for further comment but received none by press time.
Epstein Accusations
Mr. Epstein, who was awaiting trial on multiple sex trafficking charges, was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City in August 2019.Yet Mr. Epstein’s links to a wide network of rich and powerful individuals—along with rumors that he secretly recorded some of them engaging in sex acts with underage girls—has fueled speculation that he may have been murdered. The latest Epstein document disclosures—and more in the pipeline—have renewed interest in the case, especially in some of its mysterious elements.
One of these is the hypothesis that Mr. Epstein and Ms. Maxwell ran a “honey-trap” operation, secretly recording powerful individuals and politicians having sex with underage girls for extortion and manipulation.
Israel has denied any links between Mr. Ben-Menashe and its intelligence services.
Another alleged Epstein victim, Chauntae Davies, has claimed in the docuseries “Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich” that the sex offender had “a lot of information on people, a lot of blackmail videos.”
“Jeffrey was buying islands in the Virgin Islands. He had his own private 727 [jet]. Do you think he needed to make money by extortion?” he continued while labeling as “far-fetched” rumors that his brother secretly filmed men of influence cavorting with underage girls to get kompromat on them.
While Mark Epstein told the Post he doesn’t believe the tapes exist, he’s convinced his brother’s death was no suicide.
“I’m not here to defend him. What he did was wrong. But that’s not my concern. My concern is that my brother was murdered,” he told the outlet.
In an interview from prison in January 2023, Ms. Maxwell said she doesn’t believe Epstein’s death was a suicide.
Many people have united in skepticism that Mr. Epstein could have taken his own life a mere month after being arrested on sex trafficking charges.
