In recently released court papers related to the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s girlfriend, several high-profile individuals have been named, including the UK’s Prince Andrew and former US President Bill Clinton. The records, totaling around 900 pages, shed light on the associations of these figures with Epstein but do not present major new allegations or revelations.
Prince Andrew’s Denial and Accusations:
The documents include an accusation against Prince Andrew for allegedly groping a woman named Johanna Sjoberg in 2001, which he denies. Buckingham Palace, responding to previous allegations, stated that they are “categorically untrue.” The newly revealed files also mention a settlement made by Prince Andrew in 2022 with Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual abuse when she was 17.
Bill Clinton’s Connections:
Former President Bill Clinton is mentioned in the documents, confirming his association with Epstein. However, there is no implication of any illegal activity. Testimony from Maxwell acknowledges Clinton’s travels on Epstein’s private jet during humanitarian trips to Africa in the early 2000s. Clinton, in a 2019 statement, asserted that he had no knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
Additional Figures and Allegations:
The documents also bring up names like Michael Jackson and David Copperfield, but no wrongdoing is alleged against them. Other notable mentions include Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent who faced rape charges and died in 2022, and Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law Professor implicated in the documents regarding sexual relations with a minor.
Trump’s Mention:
Donald Trump is mentioned in the context of a plane trip with Epstein, but the documents contain no allegations of wrongdoing against him. The files include a reference to Epstein planning to contact Trump during their travel.
Ongoing Unsealing of Documents:
About 150 Epstein associates are identified in the recently unsealed documents, filed as part of Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell. The inclusion of a name does not imply allegations against the individual. The documents also highlight ongoing efforts to release more information, with additional names and details expected to emerge in the coming days.
These revelations provide further insight into the web of connections surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, though the documents released so far do not introduce significant new accusations against Epstein or his associates.
