Recent days have seen the unsealing of hundreds of filings related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, shedding light on the now-settled litigation between Epstein’s fixer Ghislaine Maxwell and former victim Virginia Giuffre.
The trove of documents includes motions, depositions, and incident reports, implicating prominent figures such as Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and others.
Trove of Documents Implicates Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, and More
Richard Branson’s Denial:
British billionaire Richard Branson faced allegations in the filings, with victim Sarah Ransome claiming he, along with Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton, had engaged in inappropriate activities with young women trafficked by Epstein. Branson’s spokesperson dismissed the claims as “baseless and unfounded.”
Bill Clinton’s Denial:
Former President Bill Clinton, mentioned in a 2016 deposition, was accused by Johana Sjoberg of being remarked by Epstein as someone who “likes them young.” Clinton’s spokesperson vehemently denied the allegations, emphasizing a lack of contact with Epstein for nearly two decades.
Donald Trump’s Response:
Donald Trump’s connection to Epstein resurfaced, with claims that Epstein suggested visiting Trump’s casino. However, Trump’s spokesperson stated that any allegations tying him to Epstein have been “thoroughly debunked,” emphasizing a lack of overnight stays at Epstein’s residence.
Glenn Dubin and Tom Pritzker’s Denials:
Billionaire Glenn Dubin and Hyatt Hotels chairman Tom Pritzker faced accusations from Giuffre of involvement in Epstein’s trafficking ring. Both vehemently denied the allegations, stating they were “unsubstantiated” and lacking credibility.
Prince Andrew’s Ongoing Controversy:
Prince Andrew, accused by Sjoberg of groping her in Epstein’s apartment, faced renewed scrutiny. Buckingham Palace, silent since the unsealing, revealed the royal was “devastated.” The ongoing controversy adds to the allegations settled by Giuffre in 2022.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Transparency Advocacy:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. acknowledged flying on Epstein’s plane but denied being a guest at Epstein’s home. His campaign emphasized the trips occurred approximately 30 years ago, long before Epstein’s criminal behavior became public knowledge.
Alan Dershowitz’s Legal Battles:
Alan Dershowitz, mentioned in the filings, faced accusations of sexual relations with a minor, which he consistently denied. Legal battles between Dershowitz and Giuffre ensued, with the latter admitting a potential mistake in identifying him as an abuser in 2022.
Cameron Diaz, Cate Blanchett, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Mention:
Actors Cameron Diaz, Cate Blanchett, and Leonardo DiCaprio were mentioned in a witness statement citing a false press report, claiming the witness had met them. The stars are not accused of any wrongdoing, and the witness clarified they had never met them.
